However, Liesel ultimately learns from Ilsa not to punish herself for remaining while the people in her life are taking.
She heals herself by writing about her life, her brother, Max, and her time on Himmel Street. She ultimately saves herself this way; figuratively, in that she gains emotional closure, and literally, because she is in the basement, writing, when Himmel Street is bombed. At times, words can sustain people. Not always be enough to save them, but enough to get them through. Her words are enough to help him endure.
In addition to healing and sustaining, words connect people. After Liesel reads in the bomb shelter, Frau Holtzapfel asks Liesel to read to her regularly in exchange for coffee and other goods. Eventually, Liesel even calls her a friend. This relationship evolves from despised neighbors to friends essentially due to weekly reading sessions. Words not only strengthen bonds, but connect people who may otherwise remain distant. The first occurs before the start of the story, when Hans is fighting in WWI.
He is volunteered to write letters for the captain while the others go into battle, and is therefore the only one to live. Again, both the lightness and darkness in Liesel's life are closely intertwined.
Death's use of foreshadowing also allows Liesel's kiss with Rudy, which comes after she finds his lifeless body, to take center stage during the actual scene itself. By giving us the details of the bombings early, Death can later focus more on Liesel's emotional response to her discovery of Rudy's body, as well as the bodies of Hans and Rosa, and Hans's accordion.
Previous Homecoming. The Hubermanns commit a great act of kindness in hiding and caring for Max. They keep him alive at great risk to themselves and always treat him with the utmost respect. Notably, they care for him not only physically by providing food and shelter but also emotionally, making him feel like a part of the family.
Liesel in particular is kind to Max, and the two develop a strong bond. Meanwhile, the concentration camps linger unseen in the background of the book as the most extreme example of cruelty. One scene in particular juxtaposes the two extremes of human behavior. In it, Hans Hubermann tries to help one of the Jews being marched through town on the way to Dachau. One particular Jewish man is weak and clearly suffering from hunger and exhaustion, and Hans impulsively rushes to him and gives him a piece of bread.
It lets the Jewish man know that not only does Hans not hate him for being Jewish, but he also pities him and wants to ease his suffering. Immediately after, one of the Nazi soldiers mercilessly whips Hans and the Jewish man. From the moment Rudy paints himself black to emulate Jesse Owens, we see that characters often have two faces, or sides. Since this is a dangerous problem, you need to remove all fall hazards from their house immediately.
Throw rugs, long cords, and old unused furniture all pose a huge risk. Make the house as open as possible. Walking up stairs puts a lot of stress on older bodies.
They have to use all of their strength just to go up a flight of stairs. There is also a major injury risk if they fall while using the stairs. Avoid all of these dangers by adding a stair lift in the house.
Stair lifts will safely go up and down the stairs whenever needed with absolutely no risk of injury. The slippery surfaces in the bathroom make it one of the most dangerous rooms in the house for your older parents. There are several changes you need to make to ensure they stay safe.
Put rubber mats inside and outside of the tub to prevent slipping. Add grab bars in the shower and next to the toilet. It is also a good idea to lower the temperature on the water heater to stop accidental burns in the shower. The best thing you can do to make sure your aging parents are safe in their home is by making regular visits to see them. In addition to spending valuable time with your family, you will also be able to access the house and your parent's well-being during these trips.
Make sure some of your visits are unannounced to get a true sense of how they are living. Your parents took care of you your entire life, so it is now time to repay the favor. Making these changes to the house will let your parents have independent lives in their own home for as long as possible. His music is a unique mixture of chill rap, alt-pop, and bedroom pop. On top of that, his youthful nature is portrayed so exuberantly through social media.
He showcases such vulnerability and relatability through his music and personality. Overall, he's definitely an artist to have on your radar. It's insane to me that he only has about 2,00 monthly listeners on Spotify. He has a sound that would really thrive in today's music scene and I think he is extremely underrated. Definitely give them a listen! His lyrics and flow are so smooth and sounds like he's already an established artist.
He could easily compete with rappers today. While his music discusses girls and drugs, he also uses his platform to advocate for human rights movements like BLM. If you like rap, there is something for everyone with his work. This funky fresh group focuses on really catchy indie-pop songs. However, I definitely think they are on that track so I suggest you hop on the train now while they're still lesser-known.
Their sound is really desirable so I can imagine it's only a matter of time before they blow up. This singer-songwriter is extremely talented. Kate Stephenson's voice is delicate and aids in delivering her music in such a beautiful and heartfelt way. Her music is relatable and makes you want to listen to what she has to say.
She also has an amazing way with words and I'm excited to see her grow as an artist! Brittany Morgan, National Writer's Society 2. Kristen Haddox , Penn State University 4. Welcome back. Sign in to comment to your favorite stories, participate in your community and interact with your friends.
