Dead Letters

Chapter 4 - Section 2.

• Begining with the title of the chapter, Dead Letters , What does this lead us to think about the future of Liesel’s letters?
  
  
  
• Liserl exemplifies a unique level of understanding concerning her family’s struggles, saying “They were only victims of circumstance.” What are these circumstances? Does this concept apply to those suffering today?
  
  
  
• Liserl takes heed of the darkness around her; of how the inky black is now  being found throughout her life. Does this darker theme continue throughout the book? What feeling is being expressed through her loss of the light? Innocence? Her emotions toward the future?
