Ch 1.
 * Why is Kirsti not afraid of the soldiers?

Kirsti is not afraid of the soldiers because when they ran into the soldiers in town, one of them said that he had a daughter who looked just like her. Kirsti may have thought, that the soldier thought, that he would not harm her because it would be like harming his own daughter. The soldier would not want to harm her, because she looked like his daughter. What insane, sick man would harm his own child?

GREAT JOB SARAH!!!-ANNA :) --

 Ch 2. What happened to Annemarie's older sister Lise?

As you know, Lise passed away, but how she died I will explain now. Lise and a man named Peter were getting married, but about two weeks before the wedding, Lise was in a car crash and died. :(

 Ch 3. What religion do the Rosens practice?

The Rosens are Jewish. That is why Annmarie and her family are hiding them. The German soldiers want to capture the Rosens because they are Jewish.

--

 Ch 4. Why does Ellen spend the night with Annemarie?

Ellen spends the night with Annmarie because the German soldiers made some sort of a list of Jews to capture, and the Rosens were on it. They could only hide Ellen and pretend she was Lise, because if they hid Ellen's parents too, it would be suspicious, and they would get caught. The family helped hide the Rosen parents elsewhere, but let Ellen spend the night as Lise.

-    Ch 5. Why does Annemarie tear the necklace from Ellen’s neck? She tears the necklace off of her neck because if the German soldiers saw it, they would know that Ellen was Jewish, and probably kill Annmarie's family for hiding her.  -- 

Ch 6. For what reason is Uncle Henrik’s home a good place to take a Jewish refugee?   Uncle Henrik's house is in Gilleleje, which is far away from Copenhagen, and Uncle Henrik lives alone so the soldiers won't suspect him of having too many people in his house. <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #fe86c6; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">

Describe Uncle Henrik and Mama’s relationship. <span style="color: #8d00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> Uncle Henrik and Mama are very close. They are brother and sister, and it sounds like they are the kind of friends that tell each other everything.

<span style="color: #ff2929; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Ch 8. Do you agree with Annemarie that Great-aunt Birte doesn’t exist?

<span style="color: #ffa824; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">I do agree that she doesn't exist, but something in my gut is saying to me, "She's alive! Don't listen to the book!". I guess I could go either way, but I am leaning more toward she doesn't exist.

<span style="color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Uncle Henrik explains to Annemarie in a mysterious tone of voice. He kind of told her with a strange facial expression, almost as if he was lying, but firm enough to tell that he was telling the truth. He tells Annemarie that they lied to her because they want her to be brave and they love her.

Ch 10. How does Mama keep the soldier from opening the casket?

She tells the soldier that Great-Aunt Birte died of typhus, a highly contagious disease. If you get Typhus, you couldn't heal it back then. It was like a death sentence. Anyway, Mama said that the doctor said some of the germs might still be active, and if they open the casket, they all might get typhus.

Ch.11 What is in the casket? Blankets, sweaters, and jackets. Ch.11 Why did Peter insist upon giving the baby some medicine? They couldn't risk having the baby wake up and start crying in the boat. If that happened they all would be killed.

Ch.12 Do you think Annemarie will meet any soldiers on the way to Uncle Henrik’s boat?

I think she will. If she doesn't it would just seem somewhat abnormal. Anyways the soldiers are everywhere now.

Ch.13 Why does Annemarie volunteer to take the packet to Uncle Henrik? She takes it to him because Kirsti can't and Mama has a broken ankle.Uncle Henrik NEEDS that packet.

Chapter 14 1. There is a reference to the story of Little Red Riding Hood in this chapter. Which characters from story are like Red Riding Hood and the wolf?

Annmarie is like Little Red Riding Hood, and the German soldiers are like the wolf.

Ch.15 Why does Annemarie act like Kirsti?

She acts like Kirsti because her Mama told her too, and if she acts like she knows anything, they will stop Henrik, and kill everyone who was in on the plan. A foolish young girl wouldn't know anything, or seem important.

Ch 16. Describe something funny that happens in this chapter. The God of Thunder falls into a bucket of milk!

Ch. 17 How did Peter die? How did Lise really die? Peter got shot, and Lise was purposely ran over by a car.

List three events in the story that actually did happen.

There were handkerchiefs that did have a special drug in them to stop smell. Denmark surrendered to Germany in 1940 They did love their King Christian X
