honestly what i think is that if someone wanted to steal from me that wouldnt be necessary if they asked i would give it to them not careing about my statues. i think that if i had to choose between death and stealing i rather die than steal because stealing is not only wrong but it is againt my belief i think that i rather recieve something than take it from someone who either worked so hard to get it or is in the same position as me or worst ... If i saw someonw hungry even though he is not starving and im walking on the street with a sandwich than i woul give them the sandwich because i could get more ...

The Concept of Stealing!

Stealing is a harsh word, many people try to avoid it. The ones who don't avoid stealing avoid the consequences which is still very bad.  Sometimes in life there moment when you feel the urge to steal just like Liesle and Rudy in the book. However, that is a very wrong thing to do they could work instead of stealing or even ask someone to lend them money (as long as they pay it back) or something. For example, the poor farmer worked so hard and the kids just stool the thing as if they were easy to get. instead of doing that they could of asked the old man to give them a job or something like that. My point is that stealing is wrong weather your dying or weather your fine. The fact that you stool or that you were planing on stealing is incorrect.

In my opinion i predict that Leisel will become smarter however smarter with both correct information that can help her be be a good person and incorrect information that she might use for bad. She might use the book to stop bad.  i really don't know the book thief so much so i couldn't say anything. However i think that by stealing she might be trying to make a change so she might be doing good. Most likely Leisel will die at the end but during the whole story we will find out more about her and she will get reunited with her mother at some point. And she will know more about her family.

Before We Were Free!! =D Question #2

The Second Question! 

I think that the Mancini we doing a good thing by protecting their friends. However they took a huge risk because being caught could have meant death for the whole Mancini family. They were great people because they help save lives and they we great friends!... I think that the Mancini family are wonderful people and that they did a great thing by helping Anita and her mother. I'm sure that if any of my friends we in that position my and my family would be at a great risk but will never let a friend down ... or better said would never let a person in need down. I am proud of the act that Oscar's parents did. Even if that is just a book the help between all the people (friends) is a great and necessary thing. 
In conclusion i think that the act that the Mancini did was great even though he put his family on risk he was a trusted person in the embassy and they would trust them.

Before We Were Free!! =D

I think that while Tio Toni and Anita's Father are doing the correct thing by trying to make there home (country) safe are trying to give there family a better home and that they don't have to run away from it like almost everyone in the family. However putting there family in risk isn't the right way! i thing that Anita's dad has to find another way to make there country safe and to have FREEDOM!! =P

"Pretty Little Liars" is about these 5 best friends who they had dirty secrets but only 1 of them knew, Alison. One afternoon, they were Alison convinced them to let her hipnotize them. They all did what ever Alison wanted because they were afraid that she would tell. However that same afternoon Spencer on of them yelled at her and treated terribly. She left running. 2 seconds later Spencer went to look for them but she disapeared. All the girls took there own ways didnt speak to each other for the nezxt 2 years until... Spencer get a note with his secret writen in it. Soon all the girls recieved one.. it was under the name of ... "-A" that was it! What went on there mind was ... Oh My God ...
