"The Floating Book"

    The floating book is a section in the book, where Rudy shows his friendship to Liesel by jumping into a river to go after a book for her. Rudy shows loyalty by risking his own life to jump into the water for a book. "The Whistler" this was a book that Liesel was about to finish. He obviously is a good friend by knowing that Liesel loves books and was still reading that one. Or it was because it was Rudy's fault that the older boy Victor through the book in the water? I think it was a little of both Rudy must care about Liesel a lot or is it because after wards he says, "how about a kiss Saumensch?" (Zusak,303). Rudy and Liesel will be friends for awhile, at least from what we know now they seem like they'll be friends for a life time.

      Liesel and Rudy have grown up a lot since the beginning of the book. At first they were just young kids playing, then they started plotting and stealing together. Now they are always together when ever they can be, Liesel's starting to like Rudy as more than a friend. She thinks about him a lot and dreams of kissing him. She won't admit but sometimes lets it show. Rudy loves Liesel and has for a very long time as the book says, "He must have loved her so incredibly hard." (Zusak,303). I think they grew we all do change, grow, and experience new things. They are both growing and so is their friendship they are expeincing all kinds of changes, and so is their relationship. It will contiune to change with them all long as they stay friends.

     Can relate because me and a girl named Angel Collins, we've known either since fourth grade. we've been through so much over the years we have even became completely different people. Time can change people, relationships, and even our personalities. If your friendship is true and you can tolerate each-other I think your making life long bonds. That is the best kinds of bond cause not only is someone always there, but there never leaving.
