Character Charting In The Book Thief
Character Charting (CRP Task 3)
Today my essay will be depicting the changing relationship between Lesiel Meminger and Hans Hubermann of The Book Thief who are both significant characters in the novel. Lesiel is the main character of the book while Hans is her foster father.
At the beginning of the novel, the relationhip between them is filled with unfamilarity as both characters do not know a lot about each other. But Lesiel immediately accepts him as her foster father. Over time, Lesiel started to appreciate Han’s presence and the relationship became that of mutual trust. As time passes, Hans did many things for Lesiel and became her saviour and her hero.
Lesiel understood that “Hans Hubermann was worth a lot” This sentence tells me that Lesiel regards him as someone special and understood his worth in the short time they met. Moreover, it was mentioned that Lesiel “would have no trouble calling him papa”. This tells me that Lesiel has grown accustomed to the fact that Hans is her foster dad. This means that she has accepted Hans as her foster father. They are still strangers to each other since they just met. So their realtionship is full of unfamilarity at the beginning.
But over time …show more content…
Because of this relationship, Hans taught Lesiel how to read and Lesiel grew fond of words. This relationship will also kick off Lesiel’s profession of stealing books as a weapon against people who took loved ones from her. This book mainly focuses on how words transformed her from an illiterate girl to a book thief and without this relationship, Lesiel would never become a book thief. And Death, the narrator, would never get to know her and narrate her story . The reader will be unable to read the sotry from Death’s point of view and the story will not stand out among the other war
