Characters

There are many characters that pop up in my life. Here are a few

Liesel Hubermann- This is me. I lost my brother on my way to a caretakers home. He died with on eye still closed, stuck in a dream. I love my new papa dearly, and I believe I'm in love with Rudy. I mean we've been through a lot together from stealing food and books to even watching a man die from war. I love my mama and she loves me she just has a very odd way of showing it. I could see she did when Max arrived. When he was sick, she had small bits of affection towards me and that helped a lot. Max changed both of us. I used to love the Nazi party but being with Max and seeing what he had to go through because of them made me not want to follow the rules anymore. When my parents died it took a lot of strength to see them like that. All in all I've been through a lot but it's strengthened me.

Hans Hubermann- This is my new papa. He's a painter and he plays the accordion so well it's as if he's talking to me with music. He loves to roll cigarettes even more than he loves to smoke them. He tolerates his wife very well no matter how cruel she is to him. He's very quiet but when he talks something wise is going to be said. Not a follower of the party, he suffers because of it. Throughout his life he didn't change. Maybe this is because he didn't need to.

Rosa Hubbermann- This is my foster mother. She did washing and ironing for the wealthy households in the town of Molching. Her cooking is //horrible//! Mainly consisting of pea soup. She manages to aggravate everyone she meets. She changed slightly when Max arrived, showing more compassion towards me, trying to stand out less so that our house wouldn't get searched. But she was still Rosa, rude and in charge.

Rudy Steiner- He is 8 months older than me. He has blond hair and blue eyes, a perfect German boy. He brought me into stealing what I want, I just chose to steal books. When he died in the same bomb that my foster parents did, he finally got the kiss he always asked for.

Max Vandenburg- This is the Jew we hid in our basement. He changed the life of me and everyone else he came in contact with. I once loved Hitler and what he was doing for our country but now, seeing what he is doing to wonderful humans, I hate him and his government. When Max ran away, we were all sick with worry. When we finally saw him he was in the parade of Jews being taken to a concentration camp. That wasn't the last I saw of him though. when I saw him next he hadn't even chaged. He was and still is a sweet quiet and understanding person, no matter what happens to him.

Narrator- This man, spirit, demon, what ever you want to call him/ it is Death. In all shapes and sizes. He has compassion and emotional pain. He see's everything that humans do to humans and is afraid. Yes, Death is afraid of us. He is haunted by us.
