This is a tragic experience but it is in the very graveyard which her kid brother is buried where she steals her first book.

Liesel is a book thief but in stealing her first books she doesn't know how to read. She is just learning from her papa and at school. As she learns to read she has a uncoditional love for books. The books are not just for her to enjoy but they help her as well. The books bring her new company, such as Frau Holtzapfel, Ilsa Hermann.

As human beings we all share on thing in common, we live. In a world that is not what we always want it to be, but a world that generations made it to be. Things don't always work out, but there's one thing we must do. That is to live. We grow, learn, love and hurt these are only some facts of life. We all learn differently and all know different things. We grow and change, we reach the point in our life called maturity. We learn from past present and strive for the future. Through the stages of life we reach the stage to be mature.
