On the train ride, Liesel had snatched a book that had fallen out of the grave digger’s pocket at the burial of her brother. Liesel starts to open up to her foster parents, and is particularly closer to her “papa.” She has gotten to the stage that she is ok calling them mama and papa. Although she didn’t know how to read, papa is helping her learn how to by reading her sections out of the book. She stole other books, and was given some as well which he helps her read as well.
