The Book Thief
In the StudySyncTV clip, the students discuss Death's need to take "mini-vacations" from his work. They believe he might be too sensitive to do his job. Do you agree or disagree? Explain your response.

I have no access to the video you've been presented with. Death does not take a vacation, thus, he uses his distractions as a vacation. He needs distraction in order to go on with his job.
As I’ve been alluding to, my one saving grace is distraction. It keeps me sane. It helps me cope, considering the length of time I’ve been performing this job. The trouble is, who could ever replace me? Who could step in while I take a break in your stock-standard resort-style vacation destination, whether it be tropical or of the ski trip variety? The answer, of course, is nobody, which has prompted me to make a conscious, deliberate decision—to make distraction my vacation. Needless to say, I vacation in increments. In colors.
