Question

Is Liesel a "thief"? Cite evidence from the novel to justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Liesel is referred to as a thief in the novel's first few chapters. In "The Book Thief," she is referred to as Liesel the Thief by everyone. Despite her inability to read, she claims that she stole the first book in order to keep a memento of her brother's funeral with her. You have committed theft, in my opinion, when you wrongfully take something that is not yours.
