As Liesel's passion for books grew throughout the story, so did her passion for understanding the intricacies of words and how they could be utilized. When Liesel was younger and more innocent, words acted as a bridge connecting her to Hans, or even to her dead brother. Towards the end of the story, the reader realizes that Liesel had come to a mutual understanding with words. "I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right." How did the various events Liesel experienced throughout her years in Molching distort her perception of words?

At that time books from the jews were being burned and not a lot of people knew how to read. books were seen as a bad thing then. the more books she got the more she was hungry for knowledge.

As Leisel has grown and learned the influence that words can have, she has learned to love them and despise them, because although words can inspire beautiful thoughts and creations, it can also lead to the destruction of nations. Liesel developed a love for reading during her time on Himmel Street. Throughout this time, she discovered the power that words can have over people. Eventually, Liesel began to understand what the Fuhrer stood for and how he planned to accomplish what he wanted, through this revelation she began to develop a deep hate for Hitler and everything that he represented. Before this she thought of words as having only the possibility of goodness but after she began to see the other influences they could have.
