12 comments:

  1. In the novel Number the Stars the theme is friendship. Friendship means to put that person before you and that you really care about that person. For an example in the book the main character Annemarie show friendship to her friend Ellen when they meet a soldier in the beginning of the book it say when the girls are being stopped by a german soldier who had told them to halt in a stern voice the word was frightening but very familiar to Annmarie because she had heard them say it to many people in copenhagen when, but she was never stopped by a solder so she was scared but didn't want to show it. When the soldiers asked for each of their names she had said “i'm Annemarie Johansen and this is my friend Ellen” see how she had not told them her last name there is a reason the reason is that she was jewish and the solder were taking these people and taking them away from there home. Later in the novel Mama had shown friendship to Mrs.Rosen
    Because she had taken her child and took her in and acted like she was her kid while the rosen run away with peter who knows where. Then last later in the novel Peter nielsen gives his life for freedom for his country when he was helping the jewish in Denmark he had been shot in public and he had no time to say goodbye in person. He had help people escape from denmark then soon the war was over he was no longer with us in the end of the story.

    The theme in number the stars is courage because courage means to be brave and to overcome challenges. For example, the main character Annemarie show courage by protecting ellen from a soldier because, the soldier said what what are your names and Annemarie said Annemarie johansen and your friend but Annemarie to the soldier ellen and not her full name. The way this is courage is that Annemarie protected ellen because her last name is rossen. That last name is a jewish so if Annemarie told soldier ellen's last last name she would have been captured. So Annemarie but her life in danger of being killed. This shows courage because later in the novel, the mom show courage when the soldiers come. The soldier came to the house to see why is there so many people in the house mama said that they are say goodbye to aunt brouck but there was nothing in the coffin so mama but her life in rick. When the soldier wanted to see great aunt brouck mama said no so mama had to make up a story. So they wouldn't open it so then when didn't so mama was also showed courage.

  3. The theme of the story Number the stars is courageous. Courageous means to be brave and overcome challenges. For an example, the main character annmarie this shows courage because Later in the novel, the the mom shows courage when she she told the father that she would take the kids to uncle henrik’s house and he would stay here so the nazis would not get suspicious but if she got pulled over they would see Ellen and take her away. And if the mom did not have courage they probably would have got caught. Also annmarie show courage in the middleish end of the story when she was stopped by the nazi and and she acted like a little girl like kristy and she got caught but they didn't know what she was doing. Courage is a lot in this story is they didn't have courage lots of people would have died.

    Courage means to be brave and overcome your challenge. For example when annemarie acted like when kirste said don’t touch my hair and acted sassy to the soldiers. So when annemarie came up close to another soldier when her mom told her “ if anybody stops you just act like a silly little girl.” and that's what she did and also gave uncle Henrik his basket full of food and a package with a handkerchief used to make the dogs get confused with there smell because it has chemicals in it to mess up there smell. Another way of courage was when annemarie and ellen/the jew were running they were stopped by the soldiers and he asked,the soldier said “what's your name” and annemarie replied annemarie johansen then the soldier said and “her”, repiling to ellen so then annemarie replied that's my friend ellen. Then there was a time in the novel where the soldiers came to there apartment because jews were running away from the nazis then when annemarie heard them she pulled ellen's necklace because it was the star of david.And the things I just told you is what is bravery to annemarie, because she saved her friend and he family. From the nazis and showed that you can be any age to be a hero.

    I think that the theme of "Number The Stars" well first of all never let your feelings get in your way of what you want because Annmarie's older sister Kristy died of a milatery man who ran her over, and she was getting married in 2 weeks. The mom and dad were so sad and they did dent do any hing because they were so misread. But the theme is courage because everyone in the story had courage. When Annmarie's mom went to go drop of the children to uncle Henrik, When Annmarie went to go drop off the basket to uncle Henrik and she got stopped by the soldiers. That all played an important part of the story.

  8. The theme in the novel Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, is courage. Courage means to be brave and overcome challenges. For example, the main character Annemaire in the start of the book she bumps into a Nazi soldier and is courageous to stand up to the soldier and not start crying and start to run away. This shows courage because later in the novel, the mom showed courage when she told the soldier that she didn't want to open the casket because the “body” that was inside had a disease. That showed courage by standing up to the Nazi soldier, just like Annemaire. Throughout the entire story, this shows courage.

    Another example of courage is when Annemaire had the courage to stand still while the dogs and the soldiers. She had to act like a helpless little girl while they were looking in the basket that had a handkerchief in it. This showed courage as she was standing up to the soldiers as I said many times before. The ENTIRE BOOK had courageous acts either to save friends or family. And so, the theme of Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry, is courage.

  9. The theme in the novel Number the stars by Lois Lowry, is Courage.
    Courage means to be brave and overcome challenges. For example, the main character Annemarie in the begin of the story she show her brave with soldiers. When Annemarie, her sister Kirsty and her friend Ellen in the path come home they see two soldiers in the corner of the street. Two soldier stop them, Annemarie does not scare and answer their question. When they ask Annemarie about her name she say Annemarie Johansen, but she just say her friend name’s Ellen and doesn’t say her last name.
    Then we also see the mom’s brave when the soldiers ask her to open the casket. She say that the peoples who’s die of typhus, she make the Nazi think it’s is true and go away.
    Peter Neilson is a example too, he is very brave when he is standing up for what’s right. Peter join the secret group, this group’s fight for Denmark. He help Jews escape to Sweden, but he can throw himself in dangerous and loose his life. In the end of story we know that’s Peter die, because he is catch by Nazi. The last day before he is shot, he write the letter for Johansen family that he love them, he is not afraid, and he’s pride to have do what he can for his country and for the sake of all free people.
    The theme of courage is shown throughout the novel.

    The theme in the novel Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry, is courage. The word courage means to be brave and to overcome challenges. For example, the main character, Annemarie, stands up to two Nazi soldiers and their tough dogs. This shows courage because she could have ran away instead, she pretended to be a silly little girl handing her Uncle his lunch.
    Later in the novel, the mom shows courage when the Nazi soldier tried to see what was in the coffin she got up and said, “The doctor said it should be closed, because Aunt Birte died of typhus and he said that there was a chance the germs would still be there, would still be dangerous.” knowing that no one was in there she still made up the lie. This was brave because if the guard still opened the coffin the mom would have been executed, but she still lied knowing the consequences.
    Finally, by the end of the novel, the Rosens show courage by escaping from Denmark to Sweden. This very brave of them because they could have chosen to stay at their house and turn themselves in to the Nazis, but instead they escaped after a very close encounter to getting caught. In conclusion, the theme of courage is shown throughout the novel.

    The theme in the novel Number the Stars is Hope. hope means to not give up on any thing you want to do because you know you can achieve it. For example, the main character animarie says , ´´ Of course not, there always threatening stuff. They just just like to scare people. This shows she has hope that they will be alright and the nazi are not going to capture Ellen. Another example of hope is that peter says ,´´ I hope so, Very soon don't grow much more, or you will be taller than i am, little longlegs. This shows how he has hope he is coming back. Lastly uncle henrik says ẗhat the war would end. This shows how he has hope that the war is going to end. Lastly the theme on the novel is hope.
