The Book Thief Blog Entry.

The setting where The Book Thief is taken place is in Nazi, Germany 1939-1942. More specifically, Himmel Street in the town of Munich. During this time World War II is being taken place. Liesel Meminger which is the main character, is living on Himmel Street with the Humbermans where she meets the Stieners. Liesel becomes best friends with Rudy Stiener, but she also becomes friends with many other characters throughout the book. The Book Thief takes place not only on Himmel Street , it also takes place on Munich Street. Since the time that this story is being taken place is World War II, it has much impact on the book. Hitler is ruling everyone, he created the laws. Also many innocent people are dying. I think the author chose this specific time and place because you can make yourself believe that this would actually happen. The author emphasizes everything to make the reader think that whatever is happening, is real.

"I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want." -Muhammad Ali  

Personally i think this quotes hidden meaning is you know what you want. You know what you want to become in life. You know what is right for you. So if you know whats good for you, do not let other people tell you what to do. You can't please every single person, but the one person you can please is yourself. This exact quote may relate to so many other people, especially high school students. How? Some parents CHOOSE their child's career, the child has no say in what they want to become. Example; a parent may want their child to become a lawyer or doctor, when the child might be passionate about becoming a mechanic. Anyone is allowed to be who and what they want to be, don't let anyone stop you from achieving that.
