NUMBER THE STARS

Characters

Annemarie is my favorite person. She faced up to the two soldiers. She had a special mission. She had to get the handkerchief to Uncle Henrick. But she didn’t know what was in the handkerchief.

Jewish people

The Jewish people had a church called the synagogue. They have New Year’s Eve on a different day. The star of David is the special symbol.

Bravery

Annemarie was brave when she faced up to the two soldiers. Peter was brave too, when he made the secret paper. Peter smuggled the Germans for his people. Peter got the Jewish people to safety. He risked his life for his people.

Hardship

The Germans took away most of their food. They ate the meat. They took away the coffee beans. They took away their fish. They took away their chocolate and all their dairy.

My opinion

I like the book because it is very adventurous and sad but very very cool.

Characters:

In this book there are 8 main characters. Their names are Ellen, Ann Marie, Peter, Kristie, Lise, the Johansons, Germans and the Rosens. Ellen is an only child who is best friends with Annemarie. Kristie is Annmarie’s sister who is a bit silly.

Jewish people:

In this story some of the main characters are Jewish like Mr and Mrs Rosen and Ellen. Peter is helping the Jewish people get to Sweden. Lise was also helping before she died.

Bravery:

There are some brave people in this story. Annemarie was brave to lie that nothing important was in the little box. Miss Johansson is brave because she ran all the way to the boat and back. The Rosens are brave too because they didn’t know where they where going and kept quiet.

Hardship:

The people in Denmark could not have bread, milk, sugar or meat. The Germans took all the meat and other dairy products for their own army. Kristie always wanted cupcakes with yellow icing but there was no sugar to make cupcakes.

My opinion:

I think it’s a sad story. I feel for the people who had to go though that war. It’s not fair that the Jewish people got taken away. They must have been really scared.

The characters.

The first character is Ellen. She was very sensible and good. The next character is Anne Marie. Her sister Kirsti is silly.

Jewish people.

The Jewish people had to go on a boat to get away from the bad soldiers. They have to get to the other country Sweden.

They can’t have soft drink or drink chocolate, but the worse thing is they have to be in by eight o clock. So that’s bad and they cant talk about big important stuff on the phone.

Bravery.

Ellen thought that she was not brave, but she was heaps wrong. She was very brave, but she didn’t think so.

My opinion.

I reckon it was so good because I liked it, so did other people in the class.

Number the stars by Little Puppy

Peter was so brave. Ellen was pretending to be a sister. The Germans stopped Ellen when she was going to Annemarie’s house.

The Jewish people light candles on Friday night and their New Year is different. Ellen has the star of David on her necklace.

They did not have any bread, milk, coffee, tea, meat, cheese or chocolate.

I was so happy when Annemarie and Ellen were saved. The sad part was I thought Ellen was going to get kidnapped.

Peter is a brave man to sacrifice himself. It’s very good that Peter helped stop the war. It was cool that Peter saved the Jewish people.

Number The Stars by “Jeff Hardy”

There is a silly little girl called Kirsti. Her sister is called Annemarie. She is a teenager. Her friend is called Ellen. She is also a teenager.

The star of David represents the Jewish people that go to church. And the Germans hunt them down and sometimes execute them.

The Germans banned newspapers so the people didn’t know anything and they confiscated dairy products and ate them with their army. And they couldn’t go out at a certain time.

Peter and Lise were very brave because they were in the Resistance. Sometimes not knowing stuff is better because if you know you will have to act and if you don’t know it’s easy to pretend it.

They Germans were very mean and stupid and they were very greedy. Also they were savages and weren’t fair also very careless.
