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.
