The Book Thief Raiden Takeuchi

Hi. I am reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. In the book a Girl (Liesel Meminger) and her brother are traveling on a train with their mother to munich where the Liesel and her brother had been adopted to a couple named Rosa Hubermann and Hans Hubermann. On the way to munich her brother dies on the train. They stop and bury him but when the grave diggers are walking away, she sees a book called The grave diggers hand book. She keeps the book as a reminder of her brother. When she gets to the house she has a hard time adapting for a while. She has nightmares every night about her brother. She quickly comes to like Hans who stays by her bed when she gets the nighmares. Hans teachers her how to read when she cant get back to sleep and they name it the Midnight reading class, and Liesel soon calls him papa. Rosa is not as quickly called mama but it happens eventualy. She is a tough mother that Liesel is afraid of but eventually loves like a real mother.  Liesel meets a friend called Rudy Steiner. They play soccer together and quickly becomes best friends. Rudy and Liesel start stealing food with a group of older bows because there is not enough food at home. They dont share it with their family for fear of getting in trouble. Liesel Helps her mother by taking washing and ironings to costomers. Slowly as the war beginns they lose all their costomers including the mayors wife. The mayors wife is a very quiet person who has an immense library and lets Liesel read the books. Once they cancel the ironing of the clothes Liesel gets mad at the wife and with Rudy Steals a book at night. over the length of the book she steals about three books from the her house even though the mayors wife has left notes saying I dont care just come in the front door and ask for the books. In a story Liesel figures out that Hans was in WWI and that his friend in the army died and he went to the wife and told her that if you need anything just ask. She was Jewish. When they were moved into the Ghettos she sent her son away (Max) and gave him the adress. The Hubermanns take him in in secret in the basement. Liesel and Max have a akward beggining but soon come to be great friends. After Hans getts in trouble for giving a different Jew on a death march some bread, he is sent to war. He breaks his leg a couple of months later and is sent home. Max has to leave and so does Rudy's dad for not letting them take Rudy to an advanced sports and acedemic school. ( he was smart and really fast). Menwhile during the whole story , Rudy and Liesel like each other but never say anything to each other. They both go through highs and lows throughout the story.  Max is walked through Munich on a marh with other .The mayors wife stops by one day to give Liesel some paper to write a story. She is writing a story called the Book Thief it is basically her story since she was adopted. She writes in the basement during the night to remind her of good times with Max. Just as She puts a period on the last sentence of her book a bombing raid starts and the sirens are too late to warn anyone in Munich. Her street is hit the hardest. Everyone dies on the street besides Liesel because she was her basement. The Hubermanns, Rudy and his Family, and others. She is adopted by the mayor and live a long life with three kids and married someone. I think it was a great story because it is told by someone who doesnt talk much. His name was death. Death told the story of Liesel. He wrote the book because he knew about girls getting whipped for giving Jewish people food on marches and he heard of a book thief in Sydne where he lives so he combined the topic. I think the best character was Hans Hubermann because he had the bravery to house a jew in Nazi Germany, to give bread to a Jew on a death march, and to face the wife of his best friend who had died, and to be willing to adopt a child in hard times. Liesel has changed since the beginning of the book from growing up, to finally making peace with here brothers death. Why did everyone have to die? Liesel, Max and Rudy's dad live but why did the other main characters have to die?
