The Book Thief: The Beauty Within Human Actions In Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, Death states “I’m always finding humans at their best and worst.

heart? Markus Zusak’s, The Book Thief, proposes exactly that. Narrated by an eerily human and vulnerable Death, Zuzak questions everything depicted about this ender of life. While engrossed in the life of a young Communist girl in Nazi Germany, who Death dubbs “the book thief,” Death grown his own opinion on his nature and the nature of the humans he travels amongst. More than any other fictional figure, I relate to Death from Markus Zusak’s novel, The Book Thief. Death has little…

Taking place in Nazi Germany and having a young girl as the protagonist, The Book Thief is interesting, to say the least. What makes this novel fascinating, however, is the fact that the narrator is Death. I especially enjoyed the personality that the author, Markus Zusak, gives Death, making him seem somewhat human. It seems that Death does not realize that humans cannot see him, which makes him more interested in people, especially Liesel. Death is what captures initial interest in the book…

We live in an age where many of us do not clearly understand the power of words. In The Book Thief, many words are used in books that were read or wrote by a character. Sometimes words help you rise in power. Other times books can hold you back. In my opinion books make you think a lot, especially the words used in books. In this book Liesel steals a total of six books, every book having something behind it. One of the books Liesel stole was found by Liesel lying in the snow at her brother’s…

“The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak is written very uniquely. For starters, the narrator is death. Normally in books the messages are straight forward but in this book several people can read it and each person can get something different out of it. It should continue to be taught today because it emphasizes the power of words, how to have hope in the darkest times and how to remain loyal. If your eyes could speak, what would they say? Humans often do not realize the power we have with using our…
