Thoughts and Response
In this part Rudy is wanted by some people from the NSDAP, but not for bad things. They believe he is very special and they could use him for a better set of Hitler Youth children. They noticed him at the carnival when he got first in three events. This explains why Rudy got disqualified on purpose. He didn't want to draw too much attention, but it was too late. Poor Rudy.
After Hans fed that Jew he had been waiting for his punishment but instead he got accepted into the Nazi Party. Now he has to go to war. (cruel Nazi Party) When he leaves we see a different side of Rosa Hubermann. She cries and shows her sensitive side a little. (sweet Rosa) Liesel sees Rosa with the accordion and decides not to disturb her because she believes this is a beautiful sight, which is definitely true.
In the end Liesel almost kisses Rudy! They both went to Rudy's father's shop and Rudy tried on a suit. Liesel was going to kiss him, but she backed out. (I wish she did! that would have been so sweet)
