So this is pretty much a recap about what we discussed while reading the book.
1. Point of view: Zusak wrote the story from Death's point of view. Bullet point summaries. Death's "vacation through people" concept
2. Oppositional pairings. death/life, Hans/Rosa, abandonment/home.
3. Hans and Rudy's relationship.
4. Rosa
5. Foreshadowing:
6. Liesel: Her perseverance through the bad times life throws at her
7. Colors: White, Black and Red. Tie in with her experiences. White - when her brother died in the snow, the cold, and the snow that covered the first book she stole. Also the color of the Nazi flags. Also colors are a way that Death files large moments away in his mind.
8. Hitler Germany - WWII: Liesel's realization about what is happening in her country. Also what the word Communist means and how it affected her life. Death's description of his role during WWII.
