THE FLOATING BOOK PART 2

The floating book is the book Liesel is reading called "The Whistler."  She likes to carry it and  feel it in her hand, either the spine or the rough edges of paper. One day, Liesel was carrying the book as she walked with Rudy when they ran into Viktor Chemmel and his friends.  Viktor began tormenting Liesel about her book, so she tried to act like it wasn't important to her.  Viktor said, "I'll tell you what fifty marks and you can have it back" (Zusak 301). Unfortunately for Liesel, "she knew the exact moment when Viktor Chemmel established that the book was a prize possession" (Zusak 301).  Chemmel grabs the book from Liesel and throws it in the river.  Rudy shows his loyalty to Liesel by saving the book after Viktor Chemmel threw it in the riverbank. Afterwards, Rudy wants to kiss Liesel because he has longed to kiss her for so long and he loves her so much.

 I've shown loyalty to all my best friends by helping them with whatever problems they have.  If they need money, then I'll give it to them because I trust my friends to pay me back.  I am also very loyal to my boyfriend who I love with all my heart. We have been together 5 years and he lives in Wisconsin but we have remained very loyal to each other. We have never cheated on each other and we have a wonderful bond when we are together. We can talk about anything and we barely ever fight. I'm also very loyal when it comes to church and things like that. I'm loyal to my grandma and grandpa; whenever they ask me to do something, I do it.  If my grandparents ask me to go get something for them I go and get it.  I am very loyal to the people I love and I hope they are just as loyal to me.
