In the beginning of The Book Theif Death says he met the book theif three times. When were they?
Death's first encounter with Liesel Meminger, the book thief, is when she is nine years old, at her younger brother's roadside funeral.
Death meets Liesel for the second time when she crying over the bodies of Rudy and Hans.
He meets her for the last time at her own death.
The 3 times Liesel Meminger encounters Death (from The Book Thief)
Liesel first encounters Death at her brother, Werner's grave.
Liesel encounters Death the second time when the American/Allies pilot crashes and Rudy places the teddy bear on the pilot's dying chest.
The last time Liesel encounters Death is when she is wandering around in a daze after the air raid that kills her mama, papa and all of Himmel street except for her.
Remember:
She finally meets Death in person when she has passed on and had became a colour herself. This is not one of the three times that Death encounters her!!!
