Allegory Of The Relationship Between Max And Liesel

My final project is based on the theme of the power of words and how they can provide tranquility to others.

They both arrived in a state of agitation on Himmel Street. They both nightmared” (Zuzak 206) I find that their relationship was one of the few which stood out the most for me. Unlike the relationships that Leisel has with all the other characters, Max was one she had a strong connection with because they share common events in their lives, therefore, helps Liesel and Max have a closer

“The best word shakers were the ones who understood the true power of words” (Zuzak 446) Throughout the story, Liesel was being bullied for her inability to properly communicate with others.
