ReplyDeleteEveryone-Remember the exposition includes characters, setting, central conflict, theme and background. Some of you do not have enough detail to demonstrate comprehension of the exposition.
ReplyDeletethe exposition in the book is that she cfinds her first book but it's kind of wierd how she finds her book . She finds her book by dropping her brother's dead body in the snow. I really connect with this book because i had my aunt die and my family was very upset like the boy's mom in the book . i cant really connect with the conflict because nothing never happened to me like that ,and the setting of the book is in alot of places the characters are alot of places in the book .
ReplyDeleteThe exposition of The Book Thief tells the story of a young girl named Leisel Meminger and how she develops a passion for reading and must steal books to keep her passion of reading from German Nazis in WWII. I enjoy the theme of WWII because there are many stories about the Nazis and the fact that they were real makes me want to know more about them.
ReplyDeleteThe exposition in this book starts in the world war two.Leisel Meminger is the star in this story.Her mom trys so hard to find her a better place to stay at, more like a foster home.After her mom finds her a good place to stay at, she doesnt fit in very well with the family. The story goes on and on and if you want to find out more,then recomened yourself on reading this book.
ReplyDeleteThe expostion of the Book Thief starts out with Liesel Meminger's mother taking her and her brother to a foster home during the sart of World War ll. On the train to their new home, Liesel's brother begans to cough untill he no longer coughs, breaths, or moves; he died. At the site of where the lifelss body of her innocent borther is burried, Liesel unexpectedly begains her string of book stealings. When the man who dug her brothers grave unknowling drops a book in the cold, icey snow, Liesel retreives it. This would give her the name Book Thief.
ReplyDeleteAfter arriving to her foster parents and departing from her mother the book, The Grave Diggers Hand book, becomes her last memory of her mother and brother. In her new foster home Mr. and Mrs. Hubberman are, well, very different people. Mr. Hubberman is intorduced as a communist. He plays the accordion and is always being critised by her crazy wife. Mrs. Hubberman loves to argue, cant cook, and beats liesel and is verbaly hatefull. The new life of Liesel begins.
I can connect to Mr. Hubberman, even though it may sound strang. He is a kind hearted person and truly loves Liesel. He teaches her to read in the middle of the night which is something I would do, I'm a night owl. He also is very willing to sacrifice anything for his new daughter, exactly what im like when it comes to my niece.
