Adapting My Book

The book I'm reading for my book 2 is The Book Thief  by Markus Zusak. 

One challenges in making this book into a movie are the bomb attacks because they seem like they'd be kind of hard to film. Another challenge would be someone that looks younger than they really are to play Liesel because the book shows Liesel over the course of a couple of years.

 One scene that should definitely be included is the scene where Liesel beats up Ludwig Schmeikl for making fun of her. I think this scene should be included because it shows the turning point where Liesel really wants to learn to read.

 Another scene that I think should be included is the part where Liesel and Mr. Hubermann have their night lessons. I think this should be included because it shows the relationship forming between Liesel and her foster father.

One final scene that I think should be included is the part where Liesel and Rudy race to see who is faster. I think this scene should be included because it shows the beginning of their friendship. This also shows how their relationship grows throughout the book.

One scene that they might have to cut is the part where Rosa brutally beats Liesel because it seems really cruel and plus it's not a major detail in the book.

Another scene that they might cut is the scene where Hans and his son fight. I feel like their fight is kind of insignificant because you already know that Hans isn't a fan of the party.
