When Sister Maria asked all of the children to get up in front of the classroom to read, she called out everyone except for Liesel because Sister Maria knew that Liesel couldn't read. Liesel wanted to prove Sister Maria wrong by showing her that she could read. "All the kids were mashed, right before her eyes, and in a moment of brilliance, she imagined herself reading the entire page on faultless, fluency-filled triumph"(Zusak77). When Liesel went to the front of the class she pretended to read by reading off a page she memorized that she had read with her papa. When Sister Maria tells her to go to the corridor, Ludwig Schmeikl starts making fun of her. The way Liesel expresses her anger and frustration is by getting in a fight with Ludwig and Tommy Muller. "On her knees, she sucked in the air and listened to the groans beneath her. She watched the whirlpool of faces, left and right, and she announced, "I'm not stupid."
No one argued"(Zusak79). I have gotten into a situation like Liesel by getting in a fight in the 6th grade because someone made me angry just how Ludwig made Liesel angry. The way we can learn from our own challenges is by looking at what consequences were made after the situation. If it was a bad consequence then you probably wont want to be int he same situation again.

ReplyDeleteVery nice blog post Katie! Awesome job with your Works Cited section Katie! Just make sure you have the publishers name spelled correctly! I love the quotes you picked to back up what you wrote about. Just make sure that they are incorporated into your paragraphs. You also want to be sure to include the author's last name either in the sentence or in the parenthesis to have proper MLA in-text reference format.
Comments for Revision:
Comma placement: "Liesel wanted to prove Sister Maria wrong by showing her that she could read but when she went to the front of the class, she pretended to read by reading off a page she memorized that she had read with her papa."
apostrophe usage and spacing: "wont want to be int he"
