What Is The Mood Of The Fault In Our Stars By Elie Wiesel

Context-

Occurred after Leisel and Max and the family had eaten in the kitchen. He simply went and hid in the basement again.

Personal Reaction-

I used this quote because I was shocked that death stated it. How could he call someone so kind a rat? He didn't deserve it. But he did give us a sense of how the Germans thought of the Jews. It almost slapped me into a sense of reality if what Jews really were at the time. Even though they were as equal as everyone else.

Analysis- Literary Device-

This statement is a metaphor. Max is not actually a rat, but it is used to undermine his existence. The effect it has on the text is to make the reader feel a hint of sympathy for the character because his religion makes him a rat, dirty and a menace

It shows us how Leisel and Rudy had always loved one another.

Personal Reaction-

This quote made me feel sense of pain and happiness. Happiness because Leisel finally realized her love for her best friend. We also feel sad because we know he will go to the grave without that kiss.

Analysis- Connections-

This scene is similar to a scene in the Fault In Our Stars. Augustus and Hazel were in the Germany on a date, when Augustus stated, “ I know oblivion is inevitable and love is just a shot into the vid, and one day we will all die. But I'm in love with you.” This is similar because like Hazel, Leisel realizes she has always had feelings for Rudy.

Context-

Occurred in the epilogue after the War had died, along with many others. Max survived and went to find Leisel and they share a touching moment where they finally continue the love and friendship they share.

Personal Reaction-

After reading that Leisel had lost everyone, it gave the book a happy shine. A half-happy ending. Knowing that Max deserved freedom, seeing him return was relieving. It was touching because Leisel and Max had reunited and she had a reason for happiness
