In class we are reading a book called the “Book Thief.” We are reading ”Book Thief” over Skype with another class in Wingham, Ontario. They have a teacher named Mrs. Durnin. She seems very kind. They have a total of 22 kids between grades 7 and 8. They have the same amount of kids in their class, as we have in my class which is grades 7 and 8.
The main character in this book is a 10-year-old girl named Liesel Maminger. She lives in Molching, Germany, on Himmel street. She has a hard life. Her brother had died in a train, because he was really ill! Her brother’s name was Werner. The person that had been digging her brothers grave had a hand book in his pocket well digging the grave, and it had slipped out of his pocket and she took it. She never knew how to read until a week or so after that. Her foster-father started showing her how too read and write. For paper she started using sandpaper then after she started to run out, she was painting on the wall. After all of that learning she started to read the grave diggers handbook. Liesel just started to bath regularly. She has a friend named Rudy Steiner, and he likes Liesel. Liesel just was put in a Foster home. Her foster mothers name is Rosa Hubermann, and her foster fathers name is Hans Hubermann. Rosa is very rude to Liesel, and her face is like creased-up cardboard. She hits Liesel with wooden spoons. Hans walks really straight and he rolls his own cigarettes. He had shown Liesel how too. Liesel sometimes plays soccer with her friends. Liesel usually was the goalie. I would not like to have a life-like Liesel. I am thankful I don’t.
In the “Book Thief” there is another main character and his name is Rudy Steiner. He likes Liesel. He lives in Molching, Germany, on Himmel street. He is good friends with Liesel. Rudy really likes girls. Rudy is a big fan of Jesse Owens. He dressed up like Jesse Owens, by putting charcoal all over his body. In the book Rudy is actually really nice and sometimes really funny!
Next I am going to tell you about Alex Steiner. This is Rudy’s father. He is a Taylor. Alex is part of the Nazi. He is a part of the Nazi party only because it is good for his business. That’s the only reason why he had joined the Nazi Party.
Part one was really good. At the beginning it doesn’t really make sense. But once you start getting more in it. It makes more sense.
