As we read The Book Thief this semester, we are going to use this blog as a place to discuss this fascinating novel.  

Your entries each week will go towards your overall score.  Please remember that because they are worth a grade, you will be given credit for both the posts you make and how well they reflect your reading of the book.

This is an open blog.  You may comment upon Mr. Dittes's reading of the book, or you can post blogs of your own about ideas you get from the reading.  Please make sure, though, that your blogs link to posts on the Blog Roll.  Otherwise we may not know you wrote them.  

Also, please don't give away parts of the plot beforehand.  Respect those who are just keeping up with the reading.
