Amazon.ca describes this book as a "dark and powerfully absorbing novel, brilliantly executed". It's narrator calls it "just as small story, really." Jump in with both feet and surrender to one of the most gripping, unusual, hilarious books I've read in years. It's a book about books, about hate, about love, and about how words can be our most powerful weapons.

I see it with that many books all the way around the room. Also, without the fluffy little dog and the pink walls- I pictured them a dark red/brown. I think that's also how the Mayor's wife's desk would look.

this is a picture of the Hitler Youth. I think its horrible that even the children of Germany were brainwashed into thinking that anyone who wasn't a blond-haired, blue eyed Catholic was inferior.
I think Kelsey's picture of the library was great! I picture it more like this, though, with lines of shelves as well as the books on the walls. In the bottom left corner, there is a piece of what I think would be Ilsa Hermann's desk. In the middle of the picture you can see a bit of a space without books. This is where the window would be.
When I think about death I picture someone who's invisible and taking your soul. Death looks dark, but almost sad. This picture would be a perfect example of how i picture death if instead of a woman it was a man. http://www.infobarrel.com/media/image/3156.jpg
http://pix.avaxnews.com/avaxnews/6f/00/0000006f_medium.jpeg -- represents the way I saw the mayor speak out to the people of Molching (based on a city called Olching, Germany) about how they need to get rid of or burn any reminders of the years before Hitler came in to power, the mayor is leading and telling the people what would be best for him and that they should do as recommended or else there would be consequences, this also shows how passionate he is about being a Nazi. http://0.tqn.com/d/archaeology/1/0/u/B/basement316.jpg -- the basement in the book is very symbolic since it shows the many versatile ways it could be used. The basement from my perspective is where Liesel feels the most at ease. It’s a place where she is allowed to express her affection for learning and not be judged, also it’s where her mama lets her be public with the fact that she is reading the stolen books and practicing her writing skills even if it’s on the walls. Since the family isn’t all to rich the walls of the basement are a way for her to release her knowledge onto like a blank canvas. As well the basement is known to be a home to a fugitive. It’s like a hide out or a shelter for Max from all the evil and the misunderstandings of the world that are targeting him. The stair case in the image is like where I could see the Hubermann setting up the blank sheet cover to hide Max from the Nazi Party members when they come in to check whether the basement is a suitable place for a shelter during the War. http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=soccer+game#/d9clh4 -- the soccer games that Liesel goes too, in my opinion act like her down time, as well as her time to prove herself to all the boys. In a way she reminds me of myself when I was younger running outside always wanting to play with the boys while all the girls would go off and pick flowers and lay of the grass. It’s as if she feels as if it’s her element, as if she belongs and later on she proves to be right because she creates great friendships with the people around her. http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://i.ehow.co.uk/images/a07/pe/t5/keep-fresh-rolling-own-cigarettes-800X800.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_8174501_keep-fresh-rolling-own-cigarettes.html&usg=__sv9vKEDmtkLpcE4s6oTb_2-6bOo=&h=266&w=400&sz=42&hl=en&start=0&sig2=a1pHhTTs-nX11zM-U0FLeg&zoom=1&tbnid=3_RUKSE9PgCV4M:&tbnh=132&tbnw=176&ei=6N--TfLhNoy3hAft6uHLBQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Drolling%2Bcigarettes%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26sa%3DG%26biw%3D1020%26bih%3D566%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=261&vpy=232&dur=109&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=132&ty=98&page=1&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0 -- I can just imagine that Liesel becomes a really good cigarette rollers showing off for her papa just to make him happy, knowing that he would do anything to make her happy.

I had always kind of pictured Death as someone similar to the grim reaper, untill I saw the picture that you posted, it's an interesting way of thinking of him/her.
This is how I think that the train that Liesel was on when her brother died would look like. I think that the car that Liesel was in would have a German population instead of Jewish. I also think that it was a little bit less crowded because the trains were supposed to be in humane and they would not treat Germans as badly as Jews. I also think that the ground would have snow on it because death describes it as feeling as if the world had been covered by snow.

Immediately when it was brought up in the book I pictured a grand library with shelves completely made up of wood with beautiful antiques and carvings. I pictured all of the shelves being lined with books and there being one of those ladders that you can climb to get to the top shelves to retrieve books.
This is how i picture death to look like. yes i do picture him with the cloak but as is shown in the picture, his face is not fully covered but we are not shown what his face actually looks like. http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.clipartpal.com/_thumbs/pd/holiday/halloween/masked_man_2.png&imgrefurl=http://www.clipartpal.com/clipart_pd/holiday/halloween/halloweencoloringpages_10160.html&usg=__1L-NJpsuEW62kTuHpIqZWY6qQbE=&h=249&w=320&sz=6&hl=en&start=18&zoom=1&tbnid=K0Uw9darfQKxGM:&tbnh=131&tbnw=167&ei=yXnBTb_KG-Hr0gHJ4_m2Cg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dman%2Bin%2Bhooded%2Bcloak%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26biw%3D1020%26bih%3D580%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch0%2C435&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=723&vpy=134&dur=2062&hovh=198&hovw=255&tx=158&ty=107&page=2&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:18&biw=1020&bih=580

Really big and old-looking but attractive because of it's character.
This is how I thought the toy soldier, Max's favourite of the 13 presents, would look. Liesel describes it as scratched and trodden, but even injured, it can still stand up. I think that was very inspiring for Max, which is why it's his favourite.
This is the most accurate image I could find of what I think death looks like. I think death is invisible and when the time comes it lifts your soul out of your body and hopefully takes you to heaven.
This is how I picture Himmel street, dark and gloomy. On page 27 it says "The buildings appear to be glued together, mostly small houses" And all the buildings appear to be very close to eachother.
This is how I kind of picture the children playing in the street, like it has been described several time in the book. The buildings are also slighlty similar to how I would of imagined the buildings in the book to look like. The buildings are said to be close together.
This picture shows how I picture one of Molching's roads, Munich Street, with the followers and soldiers marching on the Fuhrer's birthday. The street visible on the right is Himmel Street, as in the book the characters are often said to turn onto or off of this street from Munich Street.
This is how I picture the apple orchards that Leisel and Rudy have stolen from with the rest of Arthur Berg's 'group'. I picture the fence fairly tall because in the book Arthur Berg was doubtful that Liesel and Rudy will be able to climb over it as they are shorter and do not have any experience with jumping fences.
This is how I imagine the piece of sky that Liesel gave to Max, describing it as a white beast with a gray heart that took place of the sun watching over the town.
When I read the part of the book when Hans Hubermann left his family behind to go into the army, an image came into my head of hands separating in slow motion especially when I thought of Hans saying goodbye to Rosa. Even though they get into a lot of arguments, I can tell deep down that they care deeply for each other. This picture is kind of what I pictured it to look like.
This is how i imagine the towns that Hans has travelled to with the military. This is showing the group of men clearing the dead bodies from towns and putting them into thier trucks.
This is what i think the bed surrounded in sheets would look like in the basement but not as modern and the sheets were fully covering the bed
Here is the link: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.iransdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/unique-bedroom-on-the-deck-with-a-classic-bed-surrounded.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.iransdesign.com/search/head%2520rest%2520bed&usg=__l_hkLhpfSE0kRW2uXZzhDQh_bK8=&h=421&w=610&sz=95&hl=en&start=31&sig2=1NdaX1NipoWkfx5MrvLZMQ&zoom=1&tbnid=MfJfnOo0NvqzoM:&tbnh=122&tbnw=196&ei=a23JTb6kI-XRiAKjwe2ZBQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Da%2Bbed%2Bsurrounded%2Bwith%2Bbed%2Bsheets%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26biw%3D788%26bih%3D434%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=62&page=5&ndsp=7&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:31&tx=98&ty=-9
This is how I picture Rudy when he was younger and impersonating Jesse Owens. The boy in the picture looks really happy, just as I pictured Rudy to be when he won his race.
This is kind of how I think of the basement of the Hubermann's house while Max was staying there. The only difference is that i think there would be stairs that came downstairs through a center wall. I also think that the washer, dryer, furnace and hot water tank would be much older. As well as this the stairs would have bed sheets hanging down from them to hide Max.
This is how I imagined Himmel Street after it got bombed as it seems very unlikely that anyone would have survived this. Almost all the buidings have been obliterated and I see that the few columns standing would belong to the Hubermann house where Leisel is the only one still alive in the basement.
This is how I picture Himmel Street looking after the tragic bombing that occured. I picture a lot of people just standing around the dead bodies stunned, not knowing what to do or what to say.
This is what I picture when I read about the Jew march. I find it really sad actually. The faces in here resemble fear and tiredness because I know they were so tired of walking and being whipped and so much labor.
This picture is similar to how I view the Mayor's wife's library but with some sizable differences. The things that I think would be different are that I don't believe there would be any of the furniture in the middle of the room. I always just kind of thought of the room as having no furniture other than the Mayor's wife's desk and chair. I also think that there would not have been a spiral staircase. The final difference would be that the back book shelf would end about four feet earlier and in its place would be a window that is just slightly ajar (sometimes with a table beside the window with cookies on it that no one eats).

I really enjoy the picture you put brittany. i really feel that it captures how liesel would have been forced to heil hitler

In a way she reminds me of myself when I was younger running outside always wanting to play with the boys while all the girls would go off and pick flowers and lay of the grass. It’s as if she feels as if it’s her element, as if she belongs and later on she proves to be right because she creates great friendships with the people around her.

I had always kind of pictured Death as someone similar to the grim reaper, untill I saw the picture that you posted, it's an interesting way of thinking of him/her.

ReplyDeleteThis is how I think that the train that Liesel was on when her brother died would look like. I think that the car that Liesel was in would have a
German population instead of Jewish. I also think that it was a little bit less crowded because the trains were supposed to be in humane and they would not treat Germans as badly as Jews. I also think that the ground would have snow on it because death describes it as feeling as if the world had been covered by snow.
this is what i think of when i read the train scene from the book

ReplyDeleteI choose this image to represent what I think Isla Hermann’s library looks like. Immediately when it was brought up in the book I pictured a grand library with shelves completely made up of wood with beautiful antiques and carvings. I pictured all of the shelves being lined with books and there being one of those ladders that you can climb to get to the top shelves to retrieve books.
This is how i picture death to look like. yes i do picture him with the cloak but as is shown in the picture, his face is not fully covered but we are not shown what his face actually looks like.

ReplyDeleteThis is kind of how I imagine Hans' accordion to look. Really big and old-looking but attractive because of it's character.
This is how I thought the toy soldier, Max's favourite of the 13 presents, would look. Liesel describes it as scratched and trodden, but even injured, it can still stand up. I think that was very inspiring for Max, which is why it's his favourite.

ReplyDeleteThis picture shows how I picture one of Molching's roads, Munich Street, with the followers and soldiers marching on the Fuhrer's birthday. The street visible on the right is Himmel Street, as in the book the characters are often said to turn onto or off of this street from Munich Street.

ReplyDeleteThis is how I picture the apple orchards that Leisel and Rudy have stolen from with the rest of Arthur Berg's 'group'. I picture the fence fairly tall because in the book Arthur Berg was doubtful that Liesel and Rudy will be able to climb over it as they are shorter and do not have any experience with jumping fences.
This is how I picture the library in the mayor's house, minus the table in the middle.

When I read the part of the book when Hans Hubermann left his family behind to go into the army, an image came into my head of hands separating in slow motion especially when I thought of Hans saying goodbye to Rosa. Even though they get into a lot of arguments, I can tell deep down that they care deeply for each other. This picture is kind of what I pictured it to look like.

ReplyDeleteWhen the Jewish people were "paraded" through Molching, these are a few pictures of how I pictured it.

They were all marching tired through the streets, carrying their small bags of belongings they were breifly allowed to take with them.

This picture is how I thought of the soldiers beating the man that Hans gave bread to.
This is how I picture Rudy when he was younger and impersonating Jesse Owens. The boy in the picture looks really happy, just as I pictured Rudy to be when he won his race.

This is kind of how I think of the basement of the Hubermann's house while Max was staying there. The only difference is that i think there would be stairs that came downstairs through a center wall. I also think that the washer, dryer, furnace and hot water tank would be much older. As well as this the stairs would have bed sheets hanging down from them to hide Max.

This is how I imagined Himmel Street after it got bombed as it seems very unlikely that anyone would have survived this. Almost all the buidings have been obliterated and I see that the few columns standing would belong to the Hubermann house where Leisel is the only one still alive in the basement.

This is how I picture the running track in Molching where Leisel and Rudy race. It is muddy, wet, and there are old rickety stands.

This is how I picture Himmel Street looking after the tragic bombing that occured. I picture a lot of people just standing around the dead bodies stunned, not knowing what to do or what to say.

ReplyDeleteThis is how I picture Liesel stealing the books out of the fire.

ReplyDeleteThis is how I picture death walking on himmel street. Narrating his story.
This is what I picture when I read about the Jew march. I find it really sad actually. The faces in here resemble fear and tiredness because I know they were so tired of walking and being whipped and so much labor.

This picture reminds me of the tree at the Mayors wife's house where she had left books in for Liesel.

ReplyDeleteThis picture is similar to how I view the Mayor's wife's library but with some sizable differences. The things that I think would be different are that I don't believe there would be any of the furniture in the middle of the room. I always just kind of thought of the room as having no furniture other than the Mayor's wife's desk and chair. I also think that there would not have been a spiral staircase. The final difference would be that the back book shelf would end about four feet earlier and in its place would be a window that is just slightly ajar (sometimes with a table beside the window with cookies on it that no one eats).
this what i see when i picture max in the basement trying to look outside to see whats going on.
