Rudy Passes A Bag Full Of Bread To Liesel Analysis
Firstly, in this story, the author demonstrates the positive influence that relationships have on the characters. This is shown when Rudy Steiner and Liesel Meminger decide to leave bread on the empty roads of Dachau for the Jewish prisoners. When Rudy and Liesel pedal together toward Dachau, they stop at a road. Rudy passes a bag full of bread to Liesel and says:
“Take a handful.”
“I’m not sure this is a good idea.”
He slapped some bread onto her palm. “Your papa did.” (Zusak 440).
Hans Hubermann, Liesel’s foster father, gave a piece of bread during the parade of Dachau to a malnourished Jew. Rudy, who was an apple stealer at the beginning of the story, decides to put his own hunger aside to follow Hans’ example and give bread to the Jews.
