Entry One: The Book Thief

The major characters so far that I have read about are:
 Leisel Meminger who is the book thief.
 Hans Hubermann who is her foster father and becomes good friends with Leisel.
Rosa Hubermann who is her foster mother and is not very nice.
Rudy Steiner who is Liesel's best friend.


The setting of this book is in Nazi Germany and in Munich, Germany at the time of WWII.
The conflict in this book is death, Liesel stealing books, and moving in to this new place and the relationships she makes with people.


A prediction I have is that Liesel will get caught stealing books by Nazis.
Another prediction I have is that Liesel will get taught how to read by someone.
Another prediction I have is that Liesel's mom will come back for her in the end of the book.


Questions I have:
Why did Liesel's mom give her to foster parents?
How did Liesel's brother die?
Who is the narrator and how does the narrator take/collect people's souls?
Why did Liesel steal The Grave Digger's Handbook from the cemetery if she can't read?


Connections that I have made:
This book is wrote about the same time period Anne Frank wrote her book about Nazi Germany.
