Study Notes
-
Liesel Meminger, a young girl, was listening to a man speaking in January 1939. She had difficulty speaking and reading due to lack of formal education.
-
She was nine years old and had recently lost her brother, Werner. She had a dream where she extracted his soul from his body.
-
Liesel and her mother woke up on a train during a snowstorm. They had to get off the train with Werner's body due to faulty track work.
-
Two guards accompanied them to the next township, where they were left to sort things out.
-
At the burial of Werner, Liesel stayed behind and began to dig up the grave despite her mother's attempts to leave.
-
She discovered a black book, which had silver writing on it, next to her brother's grave.
-
After the funeral, Liesel and her mother boarded a train to Munich. They were both poor and pale, with sores on their lips.
-
Unnoticed by Liesel, a young grave digger dropped a book from his pocket as they left the cemetery.
-
The text also mentions that the train guards and the grave diggers were involved in the situation, but their actions and roles were not detailed in the given text.
-
Liesel was the new kid in town and was immediately involved in a soccer match between Rudy Steiner and Tommy Mller, who had fouled Rudy out of frustration.
-
Rudy was an eight-month-old older boy with bony legs, sharp teeth, gangly blue eyes, and lemon-colored hair. He was considered a little crazy due to an incident where he painted himself black and ran the 100 meters at the local playing field.
-
Rudy was permanently hungry and had six siblings. He was the one who walked Liesel to school after she started because his mother asked him to.
-
Rudy had a twitch due to having an earache from being lost in the markets years ago. He was bad at soccer, which Liesel pointed out.
-
They passed by Frau Diller's shop, which had a framed photo of Hitler and required customers to say "heil Hitler" to be served. Rudy warned Liesel to say it.
-
They saw soldiers marching past on Munich Street and passed abandoned shops with yellow stars and anti-Semitic slurs.
-
Liesel and the Steiners passed by the town hall, which was imposing, and the church, which had a collaborated roof. The street was a long, damp corridor with splashed footsteps.
-
Rudy rushed ahead and dragged Liesel with him at one point.
-
Liesel no longer endured Sister Maria's frustrations and found relief when others were punished.
-
For Christmas, she received two books: "Faust the Dog" by Mattheus Ottleberg and "The Lighthouse" by Ingrid Rippinstein.
-
Papa paid for the books with his tobacco ration, trading cigarettes for them.
-
Liesel read "Faust the Dog" thirteen times and "The Lighthouse" nine times.
-
Papa and Hans Junior argued about politics, something Liesel did not understand.
-
Mama needed a new dress and better shoes but Papa spent the money on cigarettes instead.
-
Customers stopped being able to afford washing and ironing services, and Mama struggled financially.
-
Mama scolded Liesel, believing she was worthless and not contributing financially.
-
A few weeks later, Papa brought home a box of eggs as a rare gift.
-
Liesel recognizes a figure in the shadows at the town hall
-
The figure is a man with fluffy hair and injuries
-
Smoke is rising from Liesel's collar and a necklace of sweat forms around her throat

A hot and wet book is burning her ribs

-
They are on their way home from the scene of a crime
-
