Post 5: How is some of the harm the characters experience repaired in your novel?
The harm that Liesel and the other main characters of “The Book Thief” experienced is far from repaired. “The Book Thief” pretty much ends with the town where all of the main characters lived, being bombed. This results in most of the characters dying other than Liesel and Max. The two are reunited eventually but the harm that they’ve both experiences in unfixable. Liesel’s foster father, Hans Huberman was looking forward to a normal life with Liesel but that would never happen. The book leaves you with a sad ending, repairing almost nothing.
