Just like Hitler said he would rule the world with his words‚ Liesel defends herself and max with the same

1. Page 16: “You can find money anywhere and everywhere. But the moment you have it‚ it runs right through your fingers.” ~Torvald a. This statement stands out to me‚ it reminds me of slim running through your hands‚ with money being the slim. This image would not be possible without the author’s word choir. He could have just said‚ “you spend money quickly‚” but he decided to add in an element of imagery to capture the audience. 2. Page 33: “However terrible I may actually feel‚ I want to prolong
