The competition with other people won’t be the only thing

Title: The Book Thief Author: Marcus Zusak Text type: Novel The Book Thief is a book about having the courage to stand up for what you believe in and do what you believe to be the right thing. I was extremely impressed at how the actions of Liesel and her foster parents reflected these themes of bravery and morality. I think these themes are relevant in today’s society because people often copy what everyone else is doing even when they know it is not right
