THE END!


My favorite character in The Book Thief is Rudy. What happened to Rudy at the end of the book, was that he died during the bombing. Rudy was sleeping probably dreaming that he was Jesse Owen or something this is what death thoughts about Rudy’s death, “I watched the contents of his soul for a moment and saw a black-painted boy calling the name Jesse Owens as he ran through an imaginary tape”(Zusak 531).  I felt very upset, when Rudy died. The reason I liked Rudy so much, because he was loyal, dependable, down to earth and honest. For example from that time he rescued Liesel’s book from the river, “Soon, he peeled off his coat and jumped in, wading to the middle of the river”(Zusak 302).
If I was writing this book, I would change the ending to Rudy life line. There would be still be bombing at Himmel Street. Rudy would have been hurt badly by the bomb, but lucky he would be alive. Liesel would not know that he was alive until 5 years later. Rudy and Liesel would have got marry. Instead of Alex and Liesel working in the shop when Max came, it would be Rudy and Liesel.
