Through the death of Liesel’s brother, the bombing of Himmel Street, and Liesel’s thoughts of Max being dead, Death tries to tell the audience that everybody dies so life needs to be cherished. Death tries to use Liesel as the person he is trying to tell this to. Through Death’s actions and thoughts, Liesel becomes more of a strong character throughout the book.
