The Book Thief Blog 3
The one character that suck out to me the most was Hans Hubermann. I feel that he is that character everyone likes and is happy to read about. I feel this way because of the way he treats Liesel and deals with Rosa. When i picture Hans, I see a tall man with a soft face and soft hands. I see the softness in him because he is always there with Liesel needs him and is very caring. For example, when Leisel wets the bed she feels very embarrassed and afraid of how Rosa will react and yell. However, you can tell that Hans senses these fears and emotions in Leisel and he comforts her and then keeps it a secret from Rosa and everyone else. This also shows that Hans is a very trusting person. This also shows his views on the Nazi regime. Hans is not a part of the Nazi party. This is a "touchy" topic within his family because his son thinks it wrong to not be apart of the party. However, Hans' friend from the war was jewish and he saw what a great person he was and he didn't feel right joining a party that was against jews. He feels sad, and in a way kind of guilty, for the jews and how they are being treated. You can see his promise and personality within the book when he hides away his friend Max Vandenburg. He hides him in his basement and provides food for him. This is showing the side of Hans that he son absolutely hates because it is going against what "should" be done. The perspectives of Hans are unique in the sense that his out different from everyone else's. Most Germans are apart of the Nazi party and get "pumped up" when they invade a helpless jewish family and take everything from them. Hans feels pain and hurt for the family being invaded. I feel that his perspective might have been this way if he did not meet the Jewish man during the war. Hans Hubermann is by far my favorite character of this book because of the way he treats Leisel. He is her best friend and takes care of her. He stuck out to me right when he get Leisel out of the car in the beginning of the book. I could tell he was going to be the one that gets Leisel through her harsh life.

I definately like Hans too. He is very caring and you can tell he would never do anything to let Leisel down. He will always he there for her and he wouldnt do anything to hurt her. I would have done what Hans had done during the war with his fried Max. I definately agree with everything he has to say and did. I agree with him when he says it hurts the Jewish family when they get invaded. It's not fun for anybody when that happens.
ReplyDeleteWe picked the sameeee character :) lol. I agree with everything you said. I LOVED Hans and he was my favorite in the whole book. I loved his spirt and his love for his child and the way that he is so calm about his relationship with his wife and what is going on around him. When he stuck up for Liesel and kept the secret it made me happy, as stupid as that sounds.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Nazi outlook. Hans is german and not happy about what is happening. He is unquie in not only that but by hiding his friend out. Being the good person he is he goes against what he " should " be doing.

I also picked Hans. He is by far my favorite character in the book. I agree with everything you said. Hans is definitely the most kind hearted person around Liesel. He is always there for her when she needs him. It's amazing how a foster parent can become a real father to a girl he just met. Hans is a great character because he is surrounded by people that hate Jews, and he still stays strong and sticks to his beliefs. He feels that people should be treated like humans no matter what they believe.
