Storyboard Text
- QUOTE from THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak
- Liesel's life is shaped by words. She bonds with her Papa over learning to read, she befriends the Mayor's wife through her love of books, her relationship with Rudy is strengthened through their escapades stealing books. Her kinship with Max develops through sharing stories. Words save her as she writes in the basement when bombs fall. However, the hideous power of words to incite the violence and terror of Nazi Germany cause Liesel to struggle between her love and hatred of words.
- "I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right."
