The Book Thief
Now A Major Film .Markus zusak.
~Here is a small fact~ you are going to die. • This novel can be described as a breath-taking scope. • It absorbs you. • Why? • It speaks directly to you. • It doesn´t only tells you a powerful story…but it asks you questions, too.
~Sometimes I arrive to early. I rush, and some people cling to life longer than expected~
You can´t speak to the book • No need to either. It has the power of reading your mind. • You´ll see everything with different eyes. • It makes you see things from another perspective. • It can even get scary.
Narrated by death • The book threats you, apologizes… it interacts with you in many different ways. • Colours play an important role • Depending on how the day is, but because the plot is set on Germany, and not in a really nice date… • Red • White • Black
The red sky
The snow
