     I think inside the package is a handkerchief with a powder on top that temporarily ruins the dogs sense of smell, so the dogs would not smell the people. I think this is because the author states "Uncle Henrick said," We pile fish on the deck to prevent the soldiers from finding them. They hate getting their shiny boots dirty!" He made a face. "Then the soldiers started taming dogs. They smell right through the fish to the human scent . Peter took this problem to the scientists. They created the handkerchief. It ruins the dog's sense of smell.""

During chapter 14 and 15, two german soldiers stopped Annemarie from taking the package to Uncle Henrick. What might the importance of this package be in the context of the story and how does the author use this incident to build suspense?

If you were Annemarie, how would you be feeling at this stage and why? Use evidence from the text to support your ideas.

    The package is important because it has cocaine to numb the dogs sense of smell. There is rabbit blood so the dogs want to smell it. The author creates suspense by making you think that she is not going to be able to deliver the package. If I was Annemarie, I would feel intimidated by the Nazis because I saw them hit my mom and be so cruel to Ellen and the rest of the Jewish community.

The importance the package is the handkerchief inside because the drugs on the handkerchief numbed the dogs noses so they could not sniff out the Jewish hiders. Lois Lowry built suspense using the soldiers to slow down Annemarie and make you think that she might not be able to deliver the package. First if I were her I would feel sacred that the Germans might take the handkerchief and because Uncle Henrick might have all ready left for Sweden. After I delivered the package i would feel relived because the most dangerous part of my mini mission was over.   

Week 3-#5-Number the Stars-AISD

We read that the package held a handkerchief. The Nazis started using trained dogs to sniff-out the people, Jewish hiders, on the boats. The handkerchief had dry rabbit's blood to attract the dogs and cocaine to temporarily ruin their sense of smell. This is building suspense because no one knew what was in the package yet. I would feel paranoid because a German Nazi might be aware of a lot of things that I do because they make themselves own almost all of shops and stores.

"During chapter 8, "There Has Been a Death", the Johansens pretended that there was a death. Two men helped carry the coffin, full of blankets, into the house. Do they know what's in the coffin? Are they part of the Resistance? How do you know if they are (or not) part of the Resistance?"

 

I think that they are part of the Resistance, because they are delivering the coffin and I think they would have looked inside as it is human nature that people are curious. And since they did not tell any one anything if they looked inside, I think they are part of the Resistance.

During chapter 14 and 15, two german soldiers stopped Annemarie from taking the package to Uncle Henrik. What might the importance of this package be in the context of the story and how does the author use this incident to build suspense?

If you were Annemarie, how would you be feeling at this stage and why? Use evidence from the text to support your ideas.

The author builds suspense in a lot of ways so I can't just name one.

If I was Annemarie I would be feeling scared two soldiers stopping me and I hate guard dogs because they growl and bark and it just scares me.

The author builds suspense in a lot of ways so I can't just name one.
In the last few chapters when they are helping ellen and her family get away from the germans because the are jews its weird because the cloth took away the dogs smell witch is good because then the dogs wont be able to find the hidden door in the boat.

If I was Uncle Henrik I would have done the same but I wouldn't use the cloth. I would use the food because dogs smell their food before eating it. This would mean that the dogs would also eat it witch is double the greatness.

What would you do would you use the cloth or would you use the food?

    I do not think that the men who moved the coffin were part of the Resistance. I think that because in wars there are a lot of people how die. There are probably thousand of other people dead that day who have family planning a funeral. I know this because in the book, it says that the Nazis have killed a lot of people, mainly Jews. also, I read a different text stating that World War 2 was the second bloodiest war. All in all, I do not think that the men who carried the coffin were in the Resistance.

  I think that they are not part of the Resistance because they are just delivering the coffin. The person who gave them the coffin to deliver may be part of the Resistance because he may have packed the coffin. They know what's in the coffin because in a war, lots of people die, so they might think it is another dead relative. They aren't part of the Resistance because they are just delivery guys.

Yes I think they knew what was inside the coffin because if they delivered the coffin then they might have looked inside. Also, I do not think they are part of the Resistance because you don't have to be in the Resistance to be against the Nazis, if they were a Nazi or were against the Jewish people then wouldn't they report something?

I think the men who bring the coffin with blankets and jackets were part of the Resistance because the Resistance kind of schedules which people go in which boat across to Sweden. Yes, I think they know whats in the coffin, because if they are in the Resistance they would know what was in the coffin.They know they are traveling to Sweden and know what they might need.

Week 2-#5-Number the Stars-AISD

Maybe the men are not part of the Resistance but are just against the Nazis. Henrik is not part of the Resistance ,but, he is still helping the Jewish people. Also, the men should know what's in the coffin because if they delivered it they might have also packed it with the blankets.

WK- 1- GRP5- Number the stars- (CISS)- Why are the German soldiers in Denmark?

I think The German soldiers are in Denmark because there is war outside the country between the two country's.  I think they are in the town because they want to threaten the people in Denmark so that they can take the country. It clearly states that there is war on page 9. It also says that the German soldiers are threatening the people in Denmark and taking things away from them.

I think the soldiers are in here to take the Jews away because in chapter 3 it said the Nazi soldiers are are searching everywhere for the Jews trying to kill them. I think that the nazi wants to take the land from the people of Denmark to make Germany bigger.

 I am wondering about why they really need to make Germany bigger. maybe because they want to rule the world. This is why I think the soldiers are in Denmark for war. 

WK1 - Grp5 - Number The Stars-(CISS)

      I think the Germans are in Denmark because they have probably conquered Denmark in a war . One reason that makes me think that is the people in Denmark are kind of "allowing" the Germans to get into there country. Another reason that makes me think that is that it says that the King of Denmark blew up his navy fleet because the Germans wanted it for there own use. The king didn't fight with the Germans, instead, he just blew them up. Lastly, why I think this is that the germans are now capturing the Jewish people in Denmark and they are not doing any thing about that also. This is why I think the Germans are in Denmark and the people of Denmark are not really doing anything about it.

Week 1 Group 5 Number The Stars CISS

     I think that the Nazis are in Denmark because they want to take control of Europe. They also are in Denmark because there are a lot of Jews there. I know this because I have also read lots of other books and articles about World War 2. Also, in chapter 3 it states, " The Germans are searching for the Jews, trying to kill them." Also, the main point the Nazis were formed was to wipe out all the Jews. This makes me realize exactly how evil the Nazis are, trying to wipe out all the Jews on the planet.
