Growing Up A ‘Saumensch’…

A sign of definite intelligence - The Vox Book Club (The Spokesman-Review)

Here we go - discussion of The Book Thief, Chapter 2 commences here!

So we begin with a description of the books and their meaning. Death describes them as not just meaning 'something, but everything.' What else do they represent? Do you have an object in your life such as this?
For Liesel, 'father' is a label she says she does not understand. How would you describe/explain the label known as a 'father'?
Are there any other labels in life that are not understandable?

Totally add in your comments-thoughts-questions!! :D

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
