Markus Zusak uses supposedly insignificant events in his novel “The Book Thief”, to show the significant theme of the power of words. These 3 events are the first book theft by Liesel, the painting over of Mein Kampf, and also in the personification of everyday objects, such as books and words. All of these events are seemingly insignificant but as the book progresses they are revealed to have a much greater meaning in how they portray the power of words.
