The Eclipse…

Monday’s the day: Time for some Book Thief discussion…

Caitlin will be posting the discussion boards for the first and second section: Death and Chocolate , and Beside the Railway Line .

So 3 Cheers for the third section of the Prologue!, Here’s where we’ll discuss The Eclipse .

Discussion Questions:

• The color black seems to be the theme for this section. We see the ‘darkest moments before dawn’, a ‘horizon begining to charcoal’, and the ‘graying light’ in the sky  - Is this fitting with the events of the section?
• What do you think the Narrator wants the teddy bear symbolize?
• What’s the significance in an ‘ eclipse’ , as the Narrator often sees them?

Feel free to add your comments, questions, and thoughts!
