Words & Language • Han’s life is saved because he was writing • Max’s is safer when in possession of Mein Kampf • Mein Kampf is refashioned for a better purpose • Liesel struggles not to reveal Max • Liesel and Ilsa bond (and fight) over books and words • How did Ilsa’s son die? Do the words matter?

  7. Motifs & Reoccurrences • Lives are ruined by Hitler and his beliefs • Friendship (e.g. Liesel and Hans, Rosa, Rudy, Max …) • Nightmares & dreams • Loyalty (to whom must we be loyal?) • Abandonment (e.g. Liesel, Max) • Guilt (Max: “his desertion. That’s right – his desertion.” [210]) • Family
