Causes And Effects Of The Book Thief

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, but every equal and opposite reaction has their own as well. For example let's start with The Book Thief, when Liesel stole her first book at her brother's burial service, "The Gravedigger's Handbook". That made her steal more books and end up writing her own book, "The Book Thief", causing her to survive the bombing of Himmel Street, That’s cause and effect. Speaking of robbing, here's another example: Liesel and Rudy played soccer and went to the same school together. Then they became very good friends and stole together.
