Give three reasons why you think the author uses Death as the narrator in the book "The Book Thief"

The three reasons that author used 'Death' as a narrator:

1. He though death and war to be best friend.

2. To present the story from 'Death's point of view using 'first person limited narration.'

3. Death is also used as narrator to tell about the things that were going on in Germany, Poland, and Russia.

Explanation:

'The Book Thief' is written by Markus Zusak. The book is historical fiction narrated from 'Death's' point of view. The author used 'Death' as a narrator of the book using 'First Person Limited Narration.'

This narration has helped to shed a light on all the deaths that were happening during the World War 2. Death gave perspective to Linsel's life and other's life as well. When asked Zusak about the reason behind choosing 'Death' as a narrator he said that while writing about this historical event of war, he realized that war and death are bestt friends. So he used this context to narrate the story of war from Death's point of view. Zusak also used Death as a narrator to narrate the readers of the things that were simultaneously going on in Germany, Polland, and Russia. He gave insight of other deaths as well. Zusak said that one thing that was common in these countries was 'Death.' So, this is the reason he chose Death as a narrator.

The correct answer is C. However, original authors deserve credit for their information and insights.

Explanation:

A counterclaim is a statement that opposes the main claim by showing the claim is not valid or there is evidence to rebut it. This implies a counterclaim to "Citing sources in a bibliography can be tedious work" should demonstrate citing sources is not a tedious work or it is necessary.

According to this, the best counterclaim is "However, original authors deserve credit for their information and insights" because this opposes the main claim by explaining the need for citing sources because this is the way to acknowledge the original authors or give them credit. Also, this is the only option that directly addresses citing and the need for doing this, which is the main focus of the claim.
