Hans Hubermann and Rosa Hubermann, Liesel’s adoptive family loved her from the start. However, from the beginning she feels closer to Hans than to Rosa Hubermann.

The Power of an Author Authors have the ability justify the worst actions. Authors have a way of romanticizing certain situations in order to convey a specific message. A good author has power to influence the reader into believing whatever it is the author wants.

Take Liesel’s first encounter with her new foster family for example. When Liesel first arrived at the Hubermann house as a traumatized girl unwilling to talk to anyone, it was Hans who showed her kindness and love. As Rosa Hubermann demanded Liesel to take a bath, Hans said, ““Leave her alone.” Hans Hubermann entered the fray. His gentle voice made its way in, as if slipping through a crowd. “Leave her to me.” He moved closer and sat on the floor, against the wall. The tiles were cold and unkind. “You know how to roll a cigarette?” he asked her, and for the next hour or so, they sat in the rising pool of darkness, playing with the tobacco and the cigarette papers and Hans Hubermann smoking them”(33). Because Liesel had nightmares each night, it was Hans that would have to wake up in the middle of the night and comfort her for hours. After these nightmares occurred, Death describes Hans’ actions, “He came in every night and sat with her. The first couple of times, he simply stayed—a stranger to kill the aloneness. A few nights after that, he whispered, “Shhh, I’m here, it’s all right.” After three weeks, he held her. Trust was accumulated quickly, due primarily to the brute strength of the man’s gentleness, his thereness”(36). Liesel’s naiveness in a world where children have to grow up very quickly makes it even more difficult for Hans to take
The Wrights home was a poor, lonely type of home. The trees that surround the house grew in a sad state. The road that led up to the farm was an unoccupied path. Minnie Wright is the woman who lives on these lonely grounds. She is friendless and mostly keeps to herself.

Rosaura also seems to be selfish and pea-brained. Even though she knows that Pedro and Tita have an affair, she agrees to marry Pedro. She should have thought about the consequences of such a marriage and then make a wise decision. She tries to steal her younger sister’s love but she is unsuccessful as even after marriage, Pedro doesn’t stop loving Tita. This clearly shows us that Rosaura was egocentric and perhaps, because she had no one to turn to.
