Setting: The time period of Number the Stars was 1943 during World War II. Number the Stars takes place in the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen. Copenhagen is a beautiful city run by a caring king, King Christian X. The only problem about Copenhagen is that German soldiers patrol the streets.

Chapter 1: Ellen and Annemarie are racing and then a German Soldier stops the and asks them why are you running. They answer quickly and then hurry home. Ellen and Annemarie wern't going to tell thier parents but Annemarie's sister Kirsten tells their parents.

Chapter 2: Annemarie is telling Kirsten a fairy tale and she talks about a king and a queen. This reminds her abut the stories her father used to tell her about Denmark's King, King Christian X. In his youth the king would ride through the city of Copenhagen and Annemarie and her sister Lise[ who had died two weeks before her wedding] would go and watch the King. Annemarie most remembers the story that her father told about how the King was riding through the city and a Nazi asked where are his bodyguard's and a man answered Denmark is his body guard. King Christian was nice and friendly to the people and the people liked him.

Chapter 3:During September in Denmark, Annemarie and Kirstin are going to school and their mother was going to button Kirstin's jacket and the button had broken. So their mother tells Annemarie to go to Mrs. Hirsch's shop and buy another button after school. Annemarie go's there after school but Mrs. Hirsch isn't there. Annemarie and Kirstin go home and tell their mother.Their mother was troubled when she heard that she wasn't there and went to talk to Ellen's mother. That night Peter Nielson came and gave her parents the forbidned newspaper that said about the rest of the world and told them what the Nazis were really doing.

Chapter 4: Annemarie and Ellen are playing when Kirstin and her mother come home. While they are playing Ellen asks if Kirstin and Annemarie want to come and watch her and her family light the candles for the Jewish New Year. Annemarie and Kirstin are not Jewish but the agree because the like watching her family cleebrate the New Year. But after school Ellen comes and Annemarie's parents say that she is staying with them tonight. After dinner when Kirstin and her mother go to her room to go to bed Annemarie asks why Ellen is staying with them and Ellen and Annemarie's father tell her. The Nazis had come into the synogouge and taken all the names of the Jewish people and where they live. They told Ellen's family that the soldiers might come that night.

What you have written is good, Luke, and, I presume you had more written today in class, but it didn't save.

Chapter 5: While Ellen and Annemarie are going to sleep Ellen asks Annemarie if she thinks the Nazis will come and she dosn't answer. Then Ellen asks Annemarie how Lise had died. Annemarie told her she didn't know exactly but the hospital called and said there had been an accident and they rushed to the hospital and when they got they sat in the living room and said Lise had died. They finally fell asleep and sometime in the middle of the night there was a knock on the door and they knew the soldiers were there. The Nazis asked if they knew the Rosens and they said no and then they asked if they were hiding a Jewish person and then they started looking aroud and right before they came in Annemarie yanked Ellens star of david necklace of and the soldiers walked in and they saw Annemarie and Ellen and they were about to leave but one of the soldiers saw that Ellen had brown hair and then they put two and two together and they asked if they got Ellen from the Rosens and they asked Ellen her name and she replied Lise Johansen and then Annemarie's father showed them a picture of when Lise was little and she had brown hair and then the soldiers left.

Chapter 6: Annemarie's father calls Uncle Hienrik and he tells him that Annemarie, her mother and Kirstin are coming with a box of cigaretts. So Annemarie, Kirstin, Their mother, and Ellen get on a train to go to Uncle Hienrik's house. On the train soldiers come and ask if they are Jewish and they say no and then they ask if they are celebrating the new year and they say no.

Uncle Henrik doesn't grow crops but he owns a cow and a cat This description of the second setting is very good.

Chapter 8: Annemarie woke up the next morning and found Kirsti trying to get the cat to drink milk. Annemarie told her that cats don't drink milk and Kirsti told her the cat's name is Thor, or God of Thunder. Then Ellen woke p and They ate breakfest and then Annemarie showed Ellen the farm. And when Uncle Hienrik came home he told them that their Great Aunt Brite had died. Annemarie was thinking about how she had never heard of a death in their family or even a Great Aunt Brite. So she decided Mama and uncle Hienrik were lying and there was no Great Aunt Brite.

Chapter 9: After dinner Annemarie go's to Uncle Hienrik in the barn and he is milking the cow. She asks him why Mama and him are lying.

The soldiers came into the house and asked why so many people had come to Uncle Hienriks house. Mama replied that there had been a death. Then one of the soldiers asked Annemarie who had died and she said My Great Aunt Brite. Then the soldier says he understands but then he asks why the coffin is closed up so tightly and says that they should open it. And Mama says that that is a good idea but she also says that reat Aunt Brite died of typhus and she is about to open it and the Nazi slaps her. He says that he does not want to see their dead Aunt and tells the to open it after they leave. Then he puts out the candles and they leave. Then Peter reads a quick psalm and opens the casket.

Chapter 11: They all look inside and there is no dead person, the casket is full of coats and blankets. He handed them to all the people and told Mr. Rosen to come with him. They got into the hall and Peter pulled a small paper wrapped packet out of his pocket and told Mr. Rosen thathe must give it to Uncle Hienrik without fail and that it is of great importance.
