In the book The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, the main character is Liesel Meminger, also known as the book thief. This book takes place in Germany, more specifically, Nazi Germany during World War 2. The conflict so far in the book is that Liesel and her family are trying to live in a time where people were hunted down and killed and/or sent to camps. The book starts with Liesel, her brother, and her mother on a train heading to a concentration camp. They were told the camp would be a good, safe place for them to live, but the trio couldn’t even make it all the way to the camp without suffering a casualty. Leisel’s brother, Werner, died on the train ride to the death camp.
I predict that once Liesel and her mother get to the concentration camp, Liesel’s mother will die soon, and Liesel will find herself alone. On the bright side I do think that she will find a friend about her same age that has had similar, if not the same thing happen to him or her. Just by looking at the title, I also predict that Liesel will get in trouble a lot at these concentration camps because of her stealing, or trying to steal books for either enjoyment, or so she can learn about how she might be able to escape alive.
