At the very start of the novel, the importance of symbolism is established through Liesel’s first book, “The Gravedigger’s Handbook”. She steals it from the cemetery ground after her brother’s burial, even though she cannot read or understand a single word of it. Soon after the burial, Liesel is sent to a foster family in Himmel Street by her mother. At this point, “The Gravedigger’s Handbook” is used to heighten the emotional intensity of comforting the pain and sorrow Liesel feels about her brother’s death and the abandon by her mother. The book is an indication of the end of her old life but a start of her new life in Himmel Street as it symbolises her last connection with her family.
Since Sara worked within the hospital of the camp she witnessed the birth of a baby who should have been born dead. While the baby was in good health, the person who delivered the child generally killed the baby and announced them dead so that the women could go back to a “normal” life within the camp. With the mother insisting that the camp would make arrangements for her and her baby, she showed off her new prized possession as if she was not a prisoner. After showing her baby to the “angel of death” Dr. Mengele, she was soon killed with her child just like the rest of the women who delivered within the campgrounds. Wanting to be “humanitarian”, Menegele insisted that mothers would die along side their children, “it would not be humanitarian to send a child to the ovens without permitting the mother to be there to witness the child’s death” (Nomberg-Przytyk 69).

If the grandmother stopped preaching about how the new world has fallen from the Christian faith, and opened her eyes to her real life, she would have saved the whole family from the misfit. Garo 2 The grandmother’s son, Bailey, seemed exhausted of having to take care of his own mother. He doesn’t bother raising his head when his mother is trying to get him to read the paper about “the misfit.” This creates Foreshadowing and a bit of irony to the story because in the end the misfit is what brings him and his family to his demise. Not only does he ignore his mother, but when she wants to take the children to see the old plantation, he sighs, gets aggravated and didn’t want to be bothered.
