In the story The Book Thief, the reader learns how sometimes behind darkness, hatred, and violence, there is love, passion, and connections. The author reveals this theme throughout the story by showing the evil side of people and also showing the careful side of people. For example, we see Liesel and Rudy actions of violence, theft, and hatred throughout the book. For example, we find Liesel and Rudy raiding an apple farm, Liesel getting into fights, thievery of Rudy stealing things from other people, and of course, Liesel thievery of books. But deep down inside, they are amazing people. A great example of this was when Rudy and Liesel risked a beating to leave bread for the Jews that were marching through their neighborhood.
