The Book Thief (second blog)

              As I have continued reading The Book Thief, I have noticed that it uses a lot of foreshadowing. The foreshadowing shows that the book will most likely not have a happy ending. I think the author wanted to use foreshadowing and a sad ending to show the devastating effects that war has on people, even just citizens of a country at war. The sad foreshadowing shows how hopeless life was during that time period. The book takes place in Nazi Germany during World War II. Liesel's family is secretly against Hitler and the Nazi Party, but that has to be kept very secret. They are also hiding a Jew in their house at the part where I am in the book, so I'm kind of scared to see how that will turn out. The book does a great job of blending a story with historical information and it's very interesting to read. I would recommend this book to everyone.
