On to the next section!

-In this part of the book, we spend a lot of time with Rosa Hubermann. -What do you think of Rosa? How well do you think she and Liesel will interact later on in the book?

-We get a bare taste of the Hitler Youth in this section as well. Neither Liesel nor Hans seems overly eager about Liesel having to join. -Though we only see the Hitler Youth for a paragraph or so, it was mentioned for a reason. How do you think Liesel's involvement will come into play in future pages?

-Liesel both begins school and begins having regular nightmares in this section. -Are these two events specifically related (not necessarily that school causes nightmares, but that both unpleasant events are juxtaposed for a reason) or are they simply the unpleasant results of Liesel's new life? Is there significance in the fact that Hans is the solution to both?

-At the end of this section, while cleaning spit off the doorway, Liesel takes a look at the sky. "Usually," she says, "it was like spillage - cold and heavy, slippery and gray," but sometimes a sliver of star-ridden sky can be seen. On those nights, she stays out with the stars until Rosa yells at her or until "the stars were dragged down again, into the waters of the German sky." -Just like Death, Liesel seems to have some sort of connection with the sky. What is the appeal of the sky?
