Number the Stars (book)

Aunt Birte's funeral served as a way to honor and remember her life, as well as to bring friends and family together to mourn her passing. It also symbolized an important moment of reflection and closure for the characters in the story.

Mrs. Johansen did not tell Anne Marie what she was really carrying to Uncle Henrik on the boat to keep her safer.

The Danish army did not have the military capability to resist the German invasion in 1940. Denmark was also concerned about minimizing casualties and potential destruction to their country by not engaging in a futile fight against the larger German forces. Additionally, the Danish government hoped that cooperating with the Germans would protect the Danish population from harsh reprisals.

In the book "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, the problem of helping Jewish people escape from the Nazis was solved through bravery, quick thinking, and cooperation among the characters. The main characters worked together to smuggle Jewish people to safety by relying on courage and resourcefulness to outsmart the enemy.

In the book "Number the Stars," Mama sewed a yellow starred handkerchief for Lise before she died. The handkerchief became a symbol of resistance against the Nazis and was ultimately given to Ellen.

The german soldiers came to uncle henrik’s house because they saw that a lot of people were going to his house, so they were suspicious and thought that there were jews in a hideout.

I'm not sure which specific scene you are referring to, but in the book "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, Mama is slapped by a German soldier because she stands up to him when he questions why the Rosen family has disappeared. The soldier becomes angry and reacts violently towards Mama.

Mama's true reason for choosing the country path to Uncle Henrik's house was to avoid suspicion and detection by the German soldiers who controlled the main road. By taking the country path through the woods and fields, Mama hoped to evade their scrutiny and reach Uncle Henrik's house safely with Ellen and Annemarie.

The first test of Anne Marie's bravery was when she had to deliver a secret package during the occupation of Denmark in the novel "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry. She had to pass through Nazi soldiers and checkpoints to successfully complete the mission.

Mrs. Johansen is stopped by soldiers while on her way back from Uncle Henrik's boat, but she manages to distract them and avoid suspicion by showing them a handkerchief stained with red wine. This allows her to safely continue on her journey home.

In the book "Number the Stars," Ellen says that her mother is afraid of the Nazis finding out that Ellen is Jewish and her family hiding Jewish refugees like the Rosens. This is because the Nazis are hunting down Jewish people during the occupation of Denmark in World War II.

Mrs. Johansen advises the Rosens to trust Annemarie's courage and to follow her lead. She tells them to act naturally and to pretend that Ellen is their daughter if they are stopped by the Germans. Mrs. Johansen also tells them to trust that a darkness will always be followed by dawn.

Ellen does not die in Number The Stars. She makes it to Sweden Safley with her family.

In "Number the Stars," Lise's funeral is a somber and sad event because she died tragically, while Aunt Birte's funeral is depicted as more of a celebration of her long life and the joy she brought to others. The different tones reflect the different circumstances surrounding each character's death.

Annemarie's older sister died when she was around 23 years old.

Peter brought Annemarie a package with a handkerchief that contained a rabbit-shaped amulet.

Mama was heroic in "Number the Stars" by hiding Ellen, their Jewish friend, in their home during the Nazi occupation of Denmark, risking her own safety to protect her. Mama also acted bravely by helping the Rosens escape to safety in Sweden despite knowing the dangers involved.

Annemarie should have been clued in about Peter's true identity when he mentioned things she didn't recall sharing with him and when he survived the brutal beating without revealing the Rosens' location.

The casket contained the Rosen family's belongings which they were taking with them to escape from Denmark during World War II. The casket symbolized the family's hope for a new beginning in a safer place. Its presence in the book "Number the Stars" highlights the challenges and sacrifices made by families during the war.

At the end of chapter 5 of Number the stars Annemarie finally lets go of Ellen's Star of David necklace.

Kristin does not like her shoes in "Number the Stars" because they are uncomfortable and give her blisters, making it difficult for her to walk long distances during their journey to safety. She also finds them unattractive and not suitable for the serious nature of their situation.

Annemarie's sister, Lise, died in a car accident during the war while riding on her bicycle. Her death had a profound impact on Annemarie and her family, shaping their experiences during the war in the book "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry.

Papa tells the German soldiers that Ellen is his daughter Lise, and that she is deaf and cannot speak. He also mentions that Ellen has been sick, which is why she looks pale and weak. This deception allows Ellen to avoid suspicion and remain hidden.

In chapter 9 of "Number the Stars," Annemarie begins to feel older because she takes on more responsibilities, such as helping to hide Ellen's necklace and acting brave during encounters with German soldiers. She also becomes more aware of the dangers and risks facing her family and friends during the time of war.

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.
