Number the Stars (book)

In Lois Lowry's "Number the Stars," a handkerchief with a handkerchief was hidden in Lise's dress pocket. This handkerchief was embroidered with the Star of David, symbolizing her Jewish identity.

Mrs. Johansen responds cleverly to the German soldiers in the book "Number the Stars" to protect her family and keep the Jewish people hidden. By pretending to be dumb and simple-minded, she is able to deflect suspicion and avoid drawing attention to herself and her actions. Her cleverness helps in maintaining the safety of her family and contributes to the overall resistance against the German occupation.

The area around Uncle Henrik's farm in Gilleleje is rural and characterized by open spaces, fields, and natural landscapes. In contrast, the Johansen's apartment in Copenhagen is in an urban setting, with buildings, streets, and a busier atmosphere. The farm offers a peaceful and secluded environment, while the apartment provides access to city amenities and a more bustling lifestyle.

In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, the casket was in the Johansen's apartment because they were pretending to mourn the death of Great-aunt Birte in order to keep the Nazi soldiers from suspecting that Ellen was Jewish and had gone into hiding with them. The casket served as a decoy to protect Ellen's identity.

Uncle Henrik meant that ignorance can sometimes lead to bravery because not knowing all the dangers or risks involved can make it easier to take courageous actions without hesitating. In other words, being unaware of all the potential consequences can sometimes make it easier to act boldly.

Ellen and Annemarie were kept home from school after the visit from the German soldiers because it was no longer safe for them to attend due to the increased danger of Nazi occupation and potential danger they faced as Jews.

One example of an idiom in "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry is "the straw that broke the camel's back." This idiom is used to describe a small final event that causes a big reaction or effect.

In "Number the Stars," the sea represents hope and freedom for Ellen and her family as they embark on a perilous journey to escape the Nazis.

Mr. Rosen had dropped his pocket watch at Uncle Henrik's house. It was a special family heirloom that he had inherited from his grandfather.

In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, Ellen Rosen and her parents would have a better life in Sweden because it was a neutral country during World War II and provided a safe haven for Jewish refugees. Ellen's family would be protected from the Nazis and have the opportunity to rebuild their lives without fear of persecution. Sweden's policies towards refugees during the war allowed many Jewish families like the Rosens to find safety and support.

If the soldiers had discovered that the packet for Uncle Henrik in "Number the Stars" contained Ellen's necklace, it could have put Ellen and her family in danger as it would have revealed their connection to the resistance and potentially led to their arrest or worse. Uncle Henrik may have also faced repercussions for his involvement in the resistance.

Uncle Henrik explained that the handkerchief was used to signal to the boat carrying Ellen and her family that it was safe to proceed. By dipping the handkerchief in water and hanging it on the clothesline, it indicated that the coast was clear of any danger.

Annemarie was referring to the feeling of waiting for loved ones during dangerous times. She meant that while those in direct danger faced physical risks, those waiting for news or for loved ones to return experienced prolonged emotional stress and fear of the unknown.

Annemarie realizes the severity of the situation and the danger her Jewish friend is in. She understands the importance of helping her friend escape and the risks involved in keeping her safe from the Nazis. This news prompts Annemarie to act bravely and selflessly to protect her friend.
