I think they probably felt sleepy but scared at the same time. 3. How does Mama keep the soldier from opening the casket? She said that "Great-Aunt Birte" had typhus. 4. Reread the psalm and Annemarie’s reaction to the reading of it. What do you think is the significance of the title of this book? I think that the title of the book has to do with this verse because they both have to do with hope and faith that all will be well.

CHAPTER 11 1. What is in the casket? Clothes for the "escapees" 2. Why did Peter insist upon giving the baby some medicine? So that the baby would not wake up and cry while they were running away. 3. One possible theme for this novel is that it is easier for people to be brave if they do not know everything. Use an incident that happened in this novel to prove this. Annemarie did not know what was in the basket when she is running so she had a better act of being a silly little girl in the woods to the soldiers. 4. Find a section of this chapter that shows Annemarie no longer thinks of herself as the carefree child she was before. At the begging of the book, she was running to win a silly race at school. Then at the end, she is running to save her friend's life.

CHAPTER 12 1. Do you think Annemarie will meet any soldiers on the way to Uncle Henrik’s boat? Yes, because they are stationed mostly anywhere 2. What observations about waiting does Annemarie make in this chapter? She finds out that waiting is very hard to do. 3. Why does Annemarie worry about her mother’s safety? She is her mother and her mom has a broken ankle and doesn't want it get infected or worse while she is away in the woods. No, she was worried her mother would meet some Nazi soldiers and perhaps be captured.

CHAPTER 13 1. Why does Annemarie volunteer to take the packet to Uncle Henrik? Her mother cannot do it because of her ankle and obviously Kristi would not be able to handle it because of her age. 2. Why doesn’t Mama tell Annemarie what is in the basket? She doesn't have the time and doesn't want to waste any of it for the safety of her friends. What Annemarie doesn't know, she can't tell the soldiers. It will be easier to her to appear innocent if she gets stopped.

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? I think that Red Riding Hood was like Annemarie and the wolf was like the soldiers. 2. In this chapter we see that Annemarie is confronted with reality and begins to less of a child. What is the reality she confronts? She realizes that everything is not always good, but if you get the best out of it, it will all seem better in the end. She also realizes by doing so many brave things, she became more mature.

Chapter 15 1. What is your reaction to how the soldiers treated Annemarie? I wasn't surprised. They are always mean to people, including little girls. 2. List three times when the German soldiers are rude to Annemarie. They are rude when they take all her food and give it to the dogs, they are rude when they are mean to her, and they are rude when they laugh at her. 3. Why does Annemarie act like Kirsti? She acts like Kirsti to try to fool the soldiers into thinking she was absolutely innocent and silly so that they will not take too much of her time. 4. Did anything Uncle Henrik tell Annemarie surprise you? What? I was surprised at the part when he tells her about the hankerchief. I think it was ingenious of the scientists to develop the formula to "de-sniff" the dogs noses.

Chapter 16. 1. How does Uncle Henrik define “brave” to Annemarie? Based on this definition, is Annnemarie be considered brave? He defines brave as doing something you have always been scared of doing, but doing it anyway. I believe she IS brave because of her fright of the soldiers. 2. What secret information does Uncle Henrik share with Annemarie about the Rosens? He tells them that that they are over on the border of Sweden, safe and that they will remain there until the Nazis evacuate. 3. Describe something funny that happens in this chapter. It is funny when "The God of Thunder" falls into the milk pail.

Peter died by not telling any information to the Nazis and being executed. Lise was run down by a Nazis car on purpose. 3. Where does Annemarie hide Ellen’s Star of David necklace?
