Are you reading a great book that you can't wait to finish and find out who the great murder was? Or why that guy jumped off a building and appeared to be able to fly? Or that book thief that runs around in Nazi Germany stealing a bunch of books for a certain reason and why she does it exactly? Or even how that one meeting could end up with a marriage? Any book that you're reading, or recently picked up? Well here's the topic to tell us about it! Tell us what recently happened since you last picked it up!
Well, don't just stand there and star at me like I'm a bookworm! Tell us! :)
I just picked up and bought a book called, "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. So far, I have met the narrorator who seems to me to be Death himself. He mentions there are colors when death occurs, and that there won't be anyone else who could replace him when he passes. Plus, he is always mentioning how the humans always have different ways of doing things that make no sense. These things just give me that small hint, if ya know what I mean. Well, he has seen the book thief three times.
The first time he saw her with a dead boy and her mother, standing and clutching a book to her chest in a snowy area. It was white all around and that is the first color he sees. White. The second time he sees her taking a book from a crashed airplane. The sky is black this time. Black. The third time he sees her is in a reddened area in a bombed place. She has another book with her as well. Red. With the red soupy like background + the global white circle ontop + the black signature ontop of that = The Nazi flag. This seems to tell us something. This girl is trying to save as many books as she can from the Nazi book burnings.
Currently, I'm at the part of when she is being handed over to her new foster parents. :D Ding. Your move.
