"Death's Black Book"

The Black Book
Creative, compassionate
Loving, intriguing, caring
Enlighting, expressive, dark, soul-filled
Collecting, carrying, keeping
Silent, wicked
Death.


"Attributes of a Book Thief"

Liesel Meminger
Affectionate, stealthy, and expressive
Who loves her family, friends, and books
Who feels pride about a stolen book
Who needs her papa's love
Who shares her love, stories, and passions
Who fears Nazi sooldiers and Mama's watschens
Who'd like to see the tremendous war end
Who dreams of Max coming back home
Who ends up seeing him waiting for her a the front door
