In the Book Thief‚ Zusak shows through Liesel’s relationships with books how she develops from a helpless and weak girl to a strong and mature young woman. Mostly it is not the books themselves that change Liesel but it is how she responds and relates to them. For instance‚ when she stole her first book‚ "The Grave Digger’s Guide" at her brother’s funeral she was feeling helpless and weak‚ by picking up the book‚ even though she couldn’t read it‚ it gave her a sense of control to steal it. It also

Rachel Gould “Thucydides” Let me present to you my interpretation of the short story by Rachel Gould for my home-reading classes. Rachel Gould is a young journalist who is now gaining recognition for her short stories. The title of this short story is “Thucydides”.
