A paradox is when two opposite things occur at the same time. In both WW II and “The Book Thief” there are many examples where a similar paradox has occurs.

In the book, ugly and beauty is shown through the characters and their actions.
Memorable Quotes “We didn't really like to wear the veil, especially since we didn't understand why we had to” (p. 3). The Iranian regime was extremely oppressive; they told people what they could wear, who they could worship, and controlled what they heard. This quote is just one example of the oppression Marjane faced as a child. Even though Marjane does not know why she has to wear the veil, the government makes her anyways as a means to showcase the power they have over everyone.

The characters in a story. They are hard to bring to life, yet a story would be incomplete without them. I love to write, and I often don’t have troubles creating my characters. But what makes every character stand out is that special thing about each and every one of them. That’s one thing that I loved about “The Book Thief,” by Markus Zusak.
Forty million people a day view Instagram stories, 79% of teenagers use Snapchat once a day, and 51% use it at least eleven times a day. In fact, teenagers use on average five screens a day (Patel, “10 Tips”). The use of social media makes teenagers happier and cures their boredom after school. However, problems arise when young people find all their satisfaction on social media. All this time spent on social media and whether you get enough “likes” could result in a bad outcome and cause poor health.

His potent use of sagacious literary techniques emphasises the terror, grief and loss of WW2. Zusak provides a colourful list of characters, chosen to represent Germany in this horrific time period,he utilises the pages of this book to paint a picture in every possible colour.
Lastly the marginal cost of producing a copy of a digital file is essentially zero, creating situation where the economy will suffer as a whole. Just like how companies outsource their jobs to places like India because it is cheaper, individuals would prefer to buy music from a redistribute selling music at a lower price. As a result, money does not circulate in the economy as much as it could have had if it was illegal to sell “used” digital music. Although it can be argued that job outsourcing creates wages that the workers can funnel back into the United States economy, but the products generated benefit both the consumers and the producers.

Did you know that Pavel Friedman, the author of the book The Butterfly wrote “A total of around 15,000 children under the age of fifteen passed through [the concentration camp] Terezin. Of these, around 100 came back”. This is a completely, absolutely horrid statistic, and yet it is true. Speculate about being a child back in Nazi Germany. Not all of these kids were Jews.
