I don't think our page numbers match. Can you give me the title of the chapter this is in?
Part 6:
Death's Diary: 1942
“To me, war does not serve as a friend but an employer, and a demanding one at that.” (pg. 311) This shows that death does not love his job of collecting the dead human souls. He is forced to do it, also at the end of the book it says that death is haunted by humans.
The Book Thief, By: Marcus Zuzack
As a language model, I do not have perspectives or emotions, but I can tell you that in the novel "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak, Death is the narrator, and he describes war as a powerful force that causes destruction and takes many lives. Death describes the horror of war and the suffering it brings to both soldiers and civilians, and he often comments on the senselessness of the violence and the human cost of conflict. Death also notes that war is often fueled by hatred, fear, and propaganda and can bring out the worst and the best in people. Overall, Death's perspective on the war in "The Book Thief" is one of profound sadness and a reminder of the devastating consequences of violence and conflict.
