Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Identify three acts of resistance (large or small) demonstrated in the novel "The Book Thief". Why do you think the author included these examples?

Answer:

  1. Rudy rejecting associations favorable to Hitler, even those formed by young people.
  2. Hans destroying anti-Semitist paintings.
  3. Hans hiding a Jew.

The author includes these examples to show that there were people who were not supportive of Nazism.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Book Thief" is a novel that portrays moments from the second world war, mainly moments focused on anti-Semitism, Hitler's rise and influence and the Holocaust. The story takes a stand against all the terror caused by Nazism and shows characters that not only take a stand against Nazism that provoke acts of resistance to this type of philosophy such as:

  1. Rudy rejecting associations favorable to Hitler, even those formed by young people.
  2. Hans destroying anti-Semitist paintings.
  3. Hans hiding a Jew.
