3. How would the story have been different if Liesel didn't keep having nightmares about her brother?

I think the story would've been very different because Liesel's nightmares lead to the relationship she builds with Hans. Through her nightmares they have late-night talks and build a relationship that is unique to them. It also leads to her learning to read and falling in love with books. Without the nightmares about her brother's death, Liesel wouldn't be as attached to books, and she wouldn't be able to trust Hans as completely as she does.
