How does the book thief express the theme of individual identity vs. conformity to social expectations.

Answer and explanation:

In Markus Zusak's novel "The Book Thief", the theme of individual identity vs. conformity to social expectations is explored. The characters have strong beliefs concerning humanity, kindness, and morals, which prevents them from being easily influenced by society. They refuse to accept Nazi ideologies of racial superiority and, in the main character Liesel's new home, a Jewish man is hidden and taken care of so that Nazis won't take him to a camp. Liesel and her new "parents" are very much aware of the risk they are taking, but they believe it is worth risking your own life to save someone else's.

faulty parallelism is a grammar construction where there is no balance in the parts of a sentence they have a similar meaning but the grammar structure is not equivalent.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation's third president.

the problem with the first version is that the sentence:

"jefferson was both the writer of the declaration of independence"

presents jefferson as both a subject and an agent for the verb "write" because if he was "the writer" then the declaration of independence was written by him, besides that fact, the sentence presents a dependent clause.

while the second sentence:

he was the nation's third president.

presents a basic subject+verb+object structure

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in both sentences:

jefferson wrote the declaration of independence, and he was the nation third president.
