I am reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Liesel has been adopted and is hiding a Jew in her basment. Max had mixed emotions when he left his family to be saved. Why? He was so relieved and happy that he was saved. He felt guilty for not being too upset, because he did miss his parents. Max had mixed emotions, because sometimes people feel a way they think they shouldn't. When have you felt guilty for being happy about something? Have you done something you know is wrong?

There is something called "survivor's guilt," not that i have experienced it. I've seen movies and read books where one person has survived an attack but everyone else has died.The survivor feels a guilty about living.Maybe like Max?

That's exactly what happened to Max.
