The Book Thief: Can't remember quotes atm but find some from early in the novel and later on and demonstrate the contrast showing Liesel's maturity and development as a result of her strong human spirit.
- Liesel's resilience despite the adverse times.
- Journey of discovering the power of words leads Liesel to an increased understanding of the world around her and how influential humans are in shaping it.
- The symbolic nature of the accordion of hope, promise and courage depicting strong human spirit

The Book Thief
(1) Symbolism of books as life
(2) Liesel's spirit and her eventual survival
(3) How Rudy arguably embodies youth
(4) Continual contrast with death and life; how the human spirit can overpower death.

Life of Pi
(1) Symbolism of Richard Parker as Pi's human spirit
(2) Pi's own journey to survive against all odds
(3) Significance of Pi's memories in maintaining Pi's resilience
(4) The role storytelling played in helping Pi endure (e.g. concealing the horrible deaths by substituting humans for animals).

Hope this helps!
