Liesel is completely confused on what to do today. She is 

walking around the house doing the same pattern over and 

over again. She knows that Ruth is out with family and both of 

her parents are working and don't need help. She realizes that 

her mother bought her a couple of big empty books to draw or 

write anything she wanted. So she started to write her life story 

just for the sake of doing something. She realizes that this more 

than just a little activity to waste time. It becomes a big deal 

when she realizes all her ideas, relationships, and life in 

general when she goes into detail about her family, friends, 

Max, and her connection with books.

She starts to write about the parade that will eventually future 

and of what she expects from the parade the comes through 

the main part of her town, Molching. She starts to think of the 

parade in her head. Imagining about marching bands making 

an enthusiastic and uplifting song, people dancing, and the 

part where she will ignore, which is the part where the people 

bring in the Fuhrer. Liesel is so excited because like no 

parades have occurred in her city in a long time and she likes 

the craziness of the lights, dancing, and different music. It's 

like a slice of another country that does interesting and 

outrageous things. It was a little vacation from the stressed 

world that she lives in.

Liesel finishes her expectation of the parade and begins to get 

ready for the real thing. She takes a while but eventually is 

ready. Hans and Rosa finish their work and both begin to get 

ready for the parade. After a little while they are ready and all 

walk to the parade. They arrive just before the parade starts to 

come down the main road. Liesel does expect everything that 

she was thinking about. She obviously rejects the Fuhrer, but 

has to follow everything else to not look suspicious. But there 

was a part of the parade that she would never of thought 

about. She sees a group of Jews walking in the street in pain, 

organized just like cattle. Liesel sees a Jew that looks 

familiar. But she can't quite figure it out.  

Liesel starts to follow the section where the mysterious man is. 

She pushes people aside and shouts into the crowd. Then while 

the mysterious man gazed around into the crowd and Liesel got 

onto a little hill. When the two had eye contact they froze in 

shock. It was Max. She followed the parade all the way down to 

the corner where the parade would loop around to get around the 

whole city. But the group of Jews take a different route and went 

off road into the forest. She stealthy followed the group and it 

ended up at an outpost looking place. But she saw Jews being 

lined up and working in pain, being treated horribly. She closed 

her mouth to not scream, she was horrified by this site. She 

quietly slipped away and went back to her parents. For when the 

sky turns black, she will be at that outpost, prepared to do 

something crazy.

Liesel and her family went home and she got ready for bed. Her 

parents said goodnight and all the lights were out, except in 

Liesel's room. She put on some dark clothes that she wouldn't 

mind getting dirty, and found an old hat that fit her nicely but also 

camouflaged her in the darkness. She brought a little bag the 

would hold a lighter but also harness a shovel to her side or back. 

Before she left, Liesel wrote in her book about what happened at 

the parade. She expressed it as something you have never seen 

before. She also wrote about what she was planning to do that 

night. She was going to rescue Max at any cost. Though she was 

risking her life in a dangerous rescue mission, she had to try 

because Max is her friend and if she didn't do anything she would 

be living in regret for not doing something about it. She knew the 

consequences, but she had the guts to do it, and save her best 

friend, besides Rudy.
