Max begins to write his own life story, just as he did in the "Standover Man" he is tearing the pages from Mein Kampf, and painting over them. Then Max lets them sit for awhile till they dry. Then he begins to write his life story, his story is not a funny one, it is not very complicated, and its diffinatly not "sad". His stroy is about being a survivor. As he is writting about his life the book takes a turn, instead of writting his stroy he begins to draw, he draws his feeling the way he feels now and the book just feels right. Max is working on the book to give to Liesel one day after he can come out of hidding, when she can understand.
One night while Max is working on the book he falls asleep but always keeps the book by his side. Liesel comes down the stairs to find Max hunched over on the floor sleeping with the book by his side. "and curiosity got the better of her" (Zusak,278). She picks the book up careful to to distrube the sleeping "Jew", she begins looking through the pages, Liesel was scared because of what she saw in Maxs' book. In Maxs' book he had been drawing very graphic pictures about the Furer, she didin't exactly comprehend what the pictures were. Either way she had been very frightnened and decided not to read the book at all any more.
For this assignment I'm supposed to write about my own life experience that relates to Leisel's story but my life comes no where close. I can tell you about a time when i was younger and my best friends dad came and hid from the police in our basement. He stayed down there all night and day, never come up for food or day light. He would always mumble weird things like, "it's the night shift their after me". This scared me so I was scared to go down to the basement, but I was always sent to check on him. One one occasion I went down to the basement and I was looking all over for him, he was nowhere to be found. Finally he comes crawling out of our crawl space in the back of the basement. The look in his eyes scared meso bad I spilled water everywhere and ran up the stairs we made him leave after that. I guess the moral of my story I know how the Hubermans' felt hidding someone to help them but putting your own life in danger. Is it worth it? In my case no in there's, well that depends on the person.
