    Diction In The Book Thief

    When Liesel saw Rudy “her hands were trembling” and she was “losing control and misjudging” things. Liesel was so shocked after seeing Rudy’s corpse that she started losing control of herself. She couldn’t accept his death, so she lost it and continuously tired to wake him up. Liesel described “Papa” as “a man with silver eyes, not dead ones.” Papa had silver eyes when he was alive so she expected him to have those eyes when she found him, but they disappeared and became dead after he lost his soul. His eyes “were all empty” and they “continued to rust.” After looking at Papa, Liesel said, “Goodbye, Papa, you saved me. You taught me to read.” This major detail expresses Liesel’s feelings towards her father, and it shows how important and influential “words” are to her.…

    Liesel Dialectical Journal

    This passage makes me feel sad because of the sudden death of Liesel. As a result, this prompts me into realizing that one of theme of this book is about how life is unpredictable. An example of this is when Liesel dies without warning. I can relate to this theme because a friend of mine from elementary has committed suicide and none of her friends knew until her parents posted a post on Facebook declaring that she has died. Therefore, I've learned that cherishing the people around me is important as they might die without warning, like…

    I Am Writing Blindly By Roger Rosenblatt Summary

    In “I am Writing Blindly,” Roger Rosenblatt analyzes why a man would choose to write to his wife during his last dark moments aboard a submarine. If I were faced with a similar situation to those Rosenblatt describes in his essay, I would write to three individuals who have had an impact on my life. The first person I would write to would be my grandma. I would choose this person because my grandma raised me since I was born. She treated me with an abundance of care that I thought she was my mom. Whenever I’m sick, I would go to her house and she takes care of me. My grandma is always my number one fan. She never missed a basketball game, concert, award ceremony, homecoming, prom and my birthdays. I’ve always celebrated all of my birthdays…

    Billy's Poem

    I wrote as soon as I heard. Please Billy, don't fret about my past, that is the reason I write to you. I hear of all these stories but I only wish to hear from you. You speak of the birds, Billy, describe their color and size. Tell me how it feels to have them perform a concert just for you. Tell me of the feeling of the wind on your skin. Tell me of the secrets that the wind carries as it brushes along you neck. Tell me of the wonder of the ocean and how its allure compels you to selfishly bring home some of the sand in your shoes in the hope that one day the whole ocean will be in your backyard. Billy, all of the questions which I have neglected to asks these men I simply must ask you. And most importantly, I must ask you about what lies…
