Papa gets paid with a price of half a cigarette.
The first time Liesel drinks champagne she was slightly put off by the coolness of her cup, then she looked at papa for approval he grinned and said "prost,madel- cheers girl."(Zusak 357). When she went to take a drink she was bitten by the sweet taste of the champagne. Her reflexes made her spit up on papa's overalls. Then the laughed and she took another drink and this time she swallowed it. Papa asked her why she asked for champagne? Why not she asked. He looked at her and said, "I didn't want you thinking that champagne bottles are only used for rolling paint."(Zusak 357).
A very special day for me is when my family had a family reunion a couple years ago. It was special to me because I got to be around my family and friends plus that was the last day that I seen my great grandmother alive. That was special to me because I got to see her for the last time before she went to heaven. That day I could smell the beautiful outdoors and taste the beauty of the day. We ate, played games, and showed each other how much we love each other.
