blog#2 Artifact


In the exuberant novel, "The Book Thief" the grave diggers handbook is a wonderful artifact!!!! this is because Lielsel finds this book within a book that is published to show death during the Holocaust. This resembles the amount of death within the novel. This is an artifact that is found throughout this whole novel. This artifact is not only a literal representation of death is represents also that she stole from her brother's grave place. During the time that Liesel lives with the Hubermann's, Hitler becomes more powerful.

She discovers books from Nazi book burnings and steals from the library of the mayor. she does not know how to read when she steals her first book, the grave diggers handbook but Mr. Hubermann uses the books to teach her to read. The first book that she steels, called The gravedigger's handbook is about how to dig a grave. the second book she steels is called "The shoulder shrug." I believe she steels the books so he can have education about what is going on during her time. she is a smart, cunning young lady and she gets to courages with theft. she might get caught is she does not wise up.
