Film by Marina Chernin ’23

“The Book Thief by Markus Zusak  is a powerfully visual novel that contains rich figurative expression and symbolism. I gave my students the job of reflecting on the function and meaning of a motif throughout the novel, and representing that function and meaning visually in some creative way. Seventh grader Marina Chernin was assigned the motif of painting, and she chose to write, compose, and direct her own music video capturing the power and symbolism of this motif from the novel. She uses direct quotations and imagery from the novel interwoven with her own ideas and lyrics.” ~ Ms. Fitzpatrick
