nightmares but her new foster Papa sits with her and tries to comfort her.  Through his
kindness and the security of him and his wife she learns how to trust
again.

She is taught how to read and begins to steal bools
from the Mayor's wife.  In the woman Liesal identifies a broken person.  As the woman
begins to allow her into her life, Liesal begins to mature and look at the damages
caused by life and death.

When the Jewish man is brought
into the home for hiding the child begins to take responsibility for his safety and well
being.  She gains the maturity not to report him and to be careful about covering for
him.  She also develops compassion.  This is evidenced by her calm actions when she is
in hiding and begins to tell stories she has read to calm the children and others.  She
has also gained the ability to remain calm in a
crisis.

street with the other men, she runs to him even knowing that socially it is forbidden. 
She shows courage.

In the end when her new family is killed
and Peter is gone, she leaves to begin a new life with the mayor's wife.  She has gone
from being a frightened little girl to a young woman in a short period of
time.
