The "booms" and "lights in the sky" on Kirsti's birthday refer to the sounds and visual phenomena associated with the bombing raids during World War II. These events were part of the air raids that targeted cities, causing both fear and destruction. The lights often came from flares or explosions, while the booms indicated the impact of bombs being dropped. This context highlights the harsh realities of life during wartime, contrasting with the celebration of a birthday.
On Kirsti's birthday in "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, the booms and lights refer to the celebration of the Danish Resistance's efforts against the Nazi occupation during World War II. The fireworks symbolize hope and freedom, contrasting with the oppressive atmosphere of the time. Kirsti, unaware of the deeper significance, simply enjoys the festive display, highlighting the innocence of childhood amidst a grim reality. This moment serves to emphasize the themes of resilience and the longing for liberation.
