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 gold key is a pretty horrific symbol of the lengths the government will go to in order to brainwash children into enlisting in the military. They tell them that this key will get them into heaven if they die at war. This harkens back to ancient religious wars, like the Crusades, where dying a martyr was the best possible thing a boy could do. Although, in reality, all it means is that they died as pawns of the government.
This key is an especially repulsive symbol because it holds absolutely no intrinsic value—it's "a plastic key painted gold" (13.34). The Iranian military couldn't even give kids something of value to lure them into war, something they might be able to melt down for money. Of course, what value does money have to a martyr? You can't spend it when you're in the theoretical halls of heaven, with more virgins for the taking than you know what to do with."
