The Cage

Now I am reading a book called The Cage. Its another book about the holocaust but unlike The Book Theif, this book is all about a jewish girl and her family. Its a really sad book, but I really like it. In the book the main character Riva is liveing with her mom and three younger brother. Her one brother Laibele becomes very sick and one day when the Nazi's come to take away men and sick people, Rivas mom hides Laibele so that he isn't taken, but then Riva's mother is taken away which makes Riva the guardian of her brothers. Then the Child Welfare Department comes and tries to separate Riva and her other three brothers so that they could be cared for, but Riva resists because the thing she wants most is for her family not to be split apart. Eventually, after Riva resists and protests enough the Child Welfare Department finally decides that because Riva cares so much for her family, they won't be split up. Instead Riva is able to adopt her brothers and become the legal guardian over them. Life became good for a while until one day Laibele dies. This is where i ended!! I can't wait to see what happens, I hope nothing else bad happens because Riva is such a good person and she has already gone through enough. But, i think that Riva and her two brothers will eventually be sent to a camp like Auschwitz.

Finished The Book Thief

I just finished the book thief!!!! It was a really good book, the only thing is that at the end most of the characters died. The sad thing is that Liesel didn't die and Rudy, Papa, Mama and basically everyone that Liesel cared a lot about died. I thought it was really cute when Liesel was leaning over Rudy's dead body and she kissed him. But it was sad because Rudy will never know that Liesel finally kissed him and that Liesel loved Rudy. I also basically cried my eyes out when Liesel was by her dead Papa because she was having a really hard time letting herself admit that he was dead. I thought that when Liesel was carrying around her papa's accordion it was cute because it really showed how much Liesel cared for her papa. Overall I think the book was a excellent book and had a good plot and story line.
