● Max has been ill from brain cancer. Doctors say there is a strong chance he will not live. When Liesel hears she faints and does not wake up for hours. During her sleep it seems as if Max does really die from cancer. Liesel cannot think this is real. When she finally wakes up and see Max she gets up in quick time and hugs him. At that moment she was relived. She say “what would I do if you were gone, your all that I have left”. (Keep in mind that Max is still fighting cancer) Max looks up and tells Liesel “I love you” then his eyes shut and heart stop beating. Slide 8 Part6:Max is Dead

● All she could think about was his last word. Did he really mean what he said? Then she begin to think and think. All she wanted was the answer to that question. There was only one way she could find out...ask him herself. Liesel went to the grave yard where he was buried and brought a could of tools. She dug him out the coffin and look into this deposed eyes. She asked him, and that was when she realized she loved him too. Liesel took a knife that she bought and stabbed her self repeatedly in the chest. She wanted to be with him and her family form Himmel street once again. Slide 9 Part7:Thoughts

● My events stay true to Zusak’s message because powers of words are still a big part of Liesel’s life. In the book Liesel was developing the power of words, because of her curiosity for words she continued her education and carried on her imagination. As child she loved reading books now she still does but she also writes. Slide 10 Summary
