Book Thief Prediction

Yay, i was bored so this came liked an icecream in a desert. =P Well, getting back to the book thief. Well, I predict that Liesel will die.I mean, her brother died because of a disease. Her mother always get sicks (according to what I heard), so don't you think there might be a connection between these events? Maybe the disease is genetic, and it will soon strike Liesel. Or maybe it will strike her in a couple of years, or a decade. My point is that a mortal disease will strike Liesel and she will finally land on Death's hands. That would make the book interesting. Oh and, by the way, why is Death interested in Liesel? I mean, aren't there any other thieves around? I am sure he has met ppl more than twice, so why Liesel? Maybe Liesel dies in a new way that Death hasn't seen ever before, which would be unlikely but possible. And so he/she decides to tell the story of Liesel. If any of you knows the answer to this questions please comment, or if you just want to comment on my prediction then carry on, but please no SPAMMING!

If u would like to explain why u voted wat u voted for, than feel free to write a comment about it!!! U don't have to explain ur vote if u don't want to, but plz vote!!! I'll show Mr. Lopez the results and mayb we can skip, or enjoy, this book. (No promises)

My Blog policy

ok, i think u might get a little "why in the world would someone do this?", but, it is all to improve the efficiency of my blog, and the ability to actually have a smart discussion. I know that a lot of ppl think that, based on my previous comments, i am not able to do that. but you'd be surprised if u actually attacked me with something. or u could just ask something and i would reply to you. well, that said, i would like to say that the policy of my blog is that you must leave a comment every time you visit my blog. if u don't then... well i haven't actually thought 'bout that so i'll put it on another post, jejeje... the point is THAT YOU MUST COMMENT IN ORDER TO HAVE A GOOD ARGUEMENT/DUSCUSSION WITH SOMEONE!!!! look, i believe that Mr. Lopez did this blog-publishing-thingy so that we have an opportunity to actually debate over things with other people, besides having a secondary school-related internet page and a new homework website, and if we only use our blogs to do our homework than why don't we just send it to everyone??? I believe that the comments are for other ppl to see them and so that they can join in the discussion/debate, but if there are no comments than how are ppl gonna debate??? look, i am just asking to write comments, at least on my blog, ok? that's all i ask... so will you do it???

Are the Mancinis taking the right decision???

they took the right decision by helping their friends. but at the same time they are putting their family in danger. the right course of action i would follow is to bring my friends over, but get them to a safe place ASAP*. by doing this i would help my friends and still keep my family safe, even if they r in danger for a short amount of time. My opinion is the same as last time b/c my mind is hard to change, unless you provide physical evidence to prove me wrong. that's why my opinion is the same. to sum up, the mancinis could have thought of a better plan.


ASAP: as soon as possible

Clarification

by freedom free i mean that there is no freedom

READ THIS

have u considered that mayb the right thing to do is send ur family over to another place, say... US??? while u (by u i mean the dad) fights for their country? and mayb change ur name so that whoever ur fighting against doesn't find ur family?? but of course, if u die then ur family is gonna be sad, but at least they r gonna be alive. and mayb they take trujillo out, and all his family, and what if then someone comes but he doesn't know how to run the country? all the stuff you fought for and all for nothing??? i bet u hadn't thought 'bout this, right? but if u actually fight for ur country and win, and it actually gets better, then i guess u were lucky (T_T). but getting wat u want is very hard, and sometimes u just can't actually get it. and in this case is more likely that u will never get wat u want, which is Puerto Rico to be free. eventually they will, but it's more likely that the dictatorship continues, cuz even if they are ppl who hate the dictator, they are ppl who could love it, and if those ppl fight, who do u think is gonna win? the citizens/civilians or the military AND civilians??? the odds might not always be with u, and if u learn from ur mistakes u'll see that the story repeats itself, and dictators have been around since , well, EVER SINCE I REMEMBER,lol. and ppl fight, win, and someone else comes, so wat's the point? just leave ur country which is freedom-free and go to a free country, that's what i would do, it's the safest strategy, u could even change ur name...
