The Book Thief Summer Reading Assignment Theme: Words have the power to heal, the power to hurt and the power to change people’s lives. Passage: “ ‘Liesel, if you tell anyone about the man up there, we will all be in very big trouble.’ He walked the fine line of scaring her into oblivion and soothing her enough to keep her calm. He fed her sentences and watched with his metallic eyes. Desperation and placidity. ‘At the very least Mama and I will be taken away.’ Hans was clearly worried that…

When I was a child I hated reading. All through my elementary years in school I was in “Title One” classes that were suppose to help kids that were slow at reading. I would have to leave class at certain times on certain days no matter what was going on in class. Around age nine i had convinced myself that I didn't need the extra class and tried to stop going altogether. I thought that just because I could read in my head that I was reading at a fourth grade reading level. This just resulted in…

Are movies and books really the same? In The Book Thief, the relationships between the characters in the film are represented just as well as in the book. Liesel’s relationships with Rudy, Hans, Max, Death, and books are all great examples of how well a book can be interpreted into a movie. Liesel’s relationship with Rudy is more playful than her relationships with other people because he is her best friend. In the book, they first meet on the street when they were playing soccer and became…

A few weeks ago I read Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. It was an interesting book considering it was the first time I read it. I've seen the movie multiple times when I was younger. The movie does not compare to the book. By reading a book you can describe the surroundings in greater detail, as opposed to movie. Also, considering it can be challenging to get the exact, in depth details that are in movies, which helps your imagination run wild. The main conflict in the book is that there is a…
