If you've been reading(ahem), you may have noticed the theme of colors in The Book Thief. After finishing the novel a day or two ago, one question has stayed on my mind: Is Death the only one that can see the sky turning red/all the other colors he describes? I used to think the answer to that was yes, but then I recalled one paragraph from the ending. . .
She [Liesel] did not know where she was running, for Himmel Street no longer exsisted. Everything was now apocalyptic. Why was the sky red? And why did the snowfalkes burn her arms?(Zusak, 533)
So, can Liesel see the sky turning red? Share what you think here!
