The Nazis tell the children not to run down the street anymore.

Ellen's mother makes the girls promise not to take that way back home from school again tomorrow. The 2nd chapter the story tells us about Annemarie's and Kirsti's dead sister Lise. They also mention the the king of Denmark, King Christian X. King Christian X is their beloved king who is fair and kind. Lise was the gentle, loving, kind, and light hearted sister of Annemarie and Kirsti. That is my synopsis on chapters 1 and 2.

**First Setting**
The first setting in the book Number the Stars is Denmark, Copenhagen. This story takes place in the 40's to be exact 1943 in the middle of World War II.

p.18-38 chapters 3-4 11/9/10 In chapter 3 in Number the Stars Annemarie and Kirsti go to the button store to get a new button for Kirsti's coat. When they get to the store there is a sign posted on the door written in German. The store is also closed. When the girls get home they tell their mother why they could not get a new button for Kirsti's coat. Their mother gets very worried when they mention the detail that the sigh was written in German. She knows that the sigh is from the Nazis. It turns out that the Nazis don't want Jewish families having shops just because they are Jewish. In chapter 4 Ellen and her parents have to go into hiding because the Nazis are now trying to relocate all of the Jewish families. Ellen is hiding at Johansens house. Her parents hiding place is unknown. Ellen will be staying at the Johansens house for a few days.

The Nazis make Ellen and Annemarie get up to see if they are any of the Rusans. Mr. Johansens pull out baby pictures of Lise and says that they are pictures of Ellen when the Nazis question that Ellen is their daughter. The Nazis leave after they are proven wrong, at lease they think they were wrong. Then in chapter 6 Ellen, Annemarie, Kirsti, and Annemarie's and Kirsti's mother go to visit Uncle Hendrik. They need to go on a train to get to Uncle Hendrik's house. On the train German soldiers ask everyone where they are going and if they are going to this place because of the Jewish New Year. When Mrs. Johansen is questions she plays dumb and acts like they don't even know that it is the Jewish New Year to protect Ellen.

They tell the solder that there has been a death and the solder leaves. In chapter 11 all of the people at the gathering are Jewish.

Mama sends Annemarie off to deliver the package to Uncle Hendrik. Mama says that if the package is not delivered all of their work to send the Jews to safety in Sweden will have been a waste. Y our summaries are good, Tricia, and so are your discussions with Grace. Keep working like this!

Second Setting The second setting in Number the Stars is Uncle Hendrik's cottage, which is in Gilleje, Denmark. This cottage used to be a farm where cops were grown but now Uncle Hendrik only keeps a cow named Blossom. Right across the boarder from Gilleje is Sweden. Sweden is a free country from the Nazi's. They went there because they were going to sail the Jews over to Sweden to safety.

p.106-112 chapter 14 11/16/10 In chapter 14 in Number the Stars Annemarie goes to deliver a package the package is at the bottom of a basket with bread and cheese to cover the package in case anyone stops Annemarie to look at the basket to see what she is delivering to her uncle.

p.114-128 chapter 16 In chapter 16 Uncle Hendrik explains that in the package was a hankerchif to Annemarie. The hankerchif had a sent on it that would mess up the sense of smell of the Nazi's dogs if they were searching a fisherman's boat for Jews taking the trip to Sweden.

p.129-132 chapter 17 11/17/10 In chapter 17 in Number the Stars WWII ends 2 years latter. The Germans had lost! Annemarie,Kristi, and her parents are out on their apartment balcony back in Copenhagen, Denmark. When they look around they see people dancing, singing, and hanging banners and flags.

Afterword In the afterword of this book, Number the Stars, the author, Lois Lowry tells us what was true and false in this book. Like, Annemarie is not a real person but, she is based on real girl that Lois did know. That is just one of the examples of the difference. One of the things that were alike is that King Christan X really did take rides through the villages without any body guards just to say hello to the people.

Annemarie-Annemarie is a 10 year old Dane girl that lives in Copenhagen. Annemarie is very brave, kind, and thoughtful. Annemarie risks her life to help the Jews in the middle of WWII.

Kirsti- Kirsti is the 5 year old sister of Annamarie. Kirsti is a silly, light hearted girl, that cannot stop talking. Kirsti is also loving and caring.

Mama- Mama is the mother of Kirsti and Annemarie. Mama is extremely brave. Mama led one of the journeys to the boat dock to send the Jews to safety in Sweden.

Ellen- Ellen is a 10 year old Jewish girl living in the time of WWII. This time is very dangerous to be Jewish. Ellen is Annemarie's best friend. Ellen goes to Uncle Hendrik's cottage with the Johansen's so they can sail her over to Sweden to safety. Ellen's parents also join her at the cottage to be sailed across to Sweden to safety.

Uncle Hendrik- Uncle Hendrik is Mama'a brother. Uncle Hendrik is a fisherman, he also takes Jews across to Sweden so they are not relocated. Uncle Hendrik risks his life to save the Jews, he is a very kind, brave, and understanding person.

The Nazi's- The Nazi's are German solders. They are relocating all the Jews and killing them. They are the enimies in this book. But, the Nazi's lose the war and they lose all of their power over the countries.

You were asked to describe 2 characters.
==The theme is Bravery, because in the whole story Annmarie is asking herself if she is brave enough to risk her life for her country. That's the topic of a theme, but what is Lowry saying about bravery in her story? ==

Initiating incident- The initiating incident was when all the Jews started being taken away and the Rosans started geting nereous.======

Climax- The climax was when things started getting dangerous and Annmarie had to start risking it alittle for her freinds and family.
