In the book "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, Annemarie and Kirsti's sister's name is Lise. She is mentioned as having passed away before the events of the story.
In Number the Stars, Kirsti is upset because Ellen didn't say good-bye.
Mrs. Johnson, Anne Marie, Kirsti, and Ellen traveled from Copenhagen, Denmark to the Danish fishing village of Gilleleje in Lois Lowry's novel "Number the Stars." They made this journey to escape the Nazis during World War II.
In Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, Mrs. Johansen tells Kirsti that Ellen has gone to a safe place and will be returning soon. She reassures Kirsti that everything will be okay and asks her to keep Ellen's departure a secret to protect everyone.
Ellen's father was going to fix Kirsti's shoes by using pieces of cardboard to cover the holes and then gluing them in place. He was resourceful and tried to make the best out of the situation by finding a creative solution to repair the shoes.
Annmarie and Ellen pretended to be sisters in order to deceive the Nazis and protect Ellen, who was Jewish, from being captured and sent to a concentration camp during World War II. Presenting themselves as sisters helped them navigate dangerous situations and hide Ellen's true identity.
When Kirsti and Annemarie's mother came home from shoe shopping for Kirsti, Kirsti was very angry with the purchase. Kirsti's new shoes were made of fish scales because the shortage of leather during the war. When Ellen, who happen to be at the Johansen's apartment, saw how mad Kirsti was, had the idea to dye the "ugly" green fish shoes black with Mr. Rosen's black ink. This satisfied Kirsti now that her shoes were no longer green, and the problem was resolved. :) Hope That Helped! :)
Ellen and Annemarie and lisa
Annemarie, Kirsti, and Ellen are stopped by two German soldiers, because they were running.
Annemarie rips Ellen's necklace to protect her identity. Ellen is Jewish, and wearing the Star of David necklace could reveal her heritage and put her in danger during the Nazi occupation of Denmark. Annemarie acts quickly to remove any evidence that could compromise Ellen's safety.
Kirsti is brave when she stands up for what she believes in, faces her fears head-on, and acts courageously in difficult situations. Her bravery shines through when she is determined and resolute in the face of challenges.
Annemarie, Ellen, and Kirsti were stopped by soldiers because they were out past curfew during the occupation by German soldiers in Denmark. Curfew was strictly enforced to control the movement of civilians and prevent any resistance activities.
