Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Identify three acts of resistance (large or small) demonstrated in the novel "The Book Thief". Why do you think the author included these examples?
Answer:
- Rudy rejecting associations favorable to Hitler, even those formed by young people.
- Hans destroying anti-Semitist paintings.
- Hans hiding a Jew.
The author includes these examples to show that there were people who were not supportive of Nazism.
Explanation:
"The Book Thief" is a novel that portrays moments from the second world war, mainly moments focused on anti-Semitism, Hitler's rise and influence and the Holocaust. The story takes a stand against all the terror caused by Nazism and shows characters that not only take a stand against Nazism that provoke acts of resistance to this type of philosophy such as:
- Rudy rejecting associations favorable to Hitler, even those formed by young people.
- Hans destroying anti-Semitist paintings.
- Hans hiding a Jew.
The boy was defenseless because he has no weapons to defend himself with.

There are three murderers in the scene. The action occurs at dusk (The First Murderer: "The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day.") The scene happens near the palace, in a park. Banquo and Fleance bring a torch to the scene. The First Murderer manages to put out the light, while all three of them attack and kill Banquo. The scene lasts a couple of minutes only, and the action unfolds very quickly. The dialogue is quick, with short, interrupted lines, which is logical considering the fact that this is a murder scene. At first, while they are waiting for Banquo and Fleance to show up, their language is wordier. But then, right before and after the murder, it is swift and abbreviated, telling us that the murderers are members of a lower social class (The Second Murderer: "Then ’tis he: the rest / That are within the note of expectation / Already are i' th' court.") Banquo's last words are that he is betrayed; also, the warning to Fleance to run away to safety. Banquo realizes in an instant that this is a political murder, and that his son is the next potential victim. So, he wants to protect him. We don't see from the text how Fleance escapes.
It creates a reassuring tone should be the correct answer.
Ummm what is the question
