Throughout the book, Death followed the story of Leisel and her family. Death seemed to have an interest with her and what her life was like, so why do you think death was so intrigued with Liesel?

In the prologue Death starts to talk about survivors and that brings him to Liesel. He says he only saw her three times. Death also says its a small story. But he is still interested enough to tell her story. But I don't think that death was so intrigued by her. he seems interested in all the humans and like i said earlier death was talking about survivors and since he decide to tell her story it must mean that she is of some importance. death was not intrigued by Liesel but she did affect him.

Death was intrigued by Liesel because she was living in a place and time where death was constantly present. Additionally, she lost her brother, and her adoptive parents (who knows what happened to her birth parents). So many people close to her heart died, but she survived.

Death is constantly present in Liesel's life. It seemed that around people kept dying around her. Death is so interested because he sees her and he knows her story. She is a fighter. Death might be surprised on her survival.

At the end of the novel, the narrator Death quotes "I am haunted by humans" (Zusak 550). The author intends for the readers to further understand Death's purpose in the novel and plot. I have concluded that Death is jealous and envious of the humans' lives in emotional states. Death longs for the internal emotional activity that the characters implied onto their day to day lives. As the other posts say, Death was intrigued with Liesel's lifestyle because death was all around her due to the war. Death also distinguished the war as its "boss" , repeatedly "picking up" souls with no rest "He stands over your shoulder repeating one thing, incessantly: 'Get it done, get it done.' So you work harder. You get the job done. The boss however, does not thank you. He asks for more"(Zusak 309).
