She hoped they would think of her just as a dumb little girl, trying to return her uncle’s lunch to
him. These are two very good examples of her cleverness in Number the Stars.
Annemarie’s courage is ceaseless throughout the war. It took a lot of courage to take
Uncle Henrick’s handkerchief to him through the dark woods. She probably knew there were
soldiers in the woods, but she didn’t care because she was courageous. She shows courage
greatly in Number the Stars which was influential for helping her family and friends.
Annemarie’s best trait was probably her thoughtfulness. She was always kind to her
family and friends. It was very thoughtful of Annemarie to take in Ellen, and treat her as a sister
so quickly. She would protect her like family. She was also thoughtful when she would play
dolls and tell Kirsti bedtime stories. She displayed her thoughtfulness vastly in Number the
From the beginning to the end of Number the Stars Annemarie exhibited traits of

was always from her heart and she just did what she had to do to protect her family
To begin, Anne was a selfless, outgoing, and positive young girl that had to live in hiding. Anne was always positive during the time of the war,
In addition, Anne says she was, “Nervous and irritable.” and that her mother made it no better. Also, Anne states that her mother
Anne's was a life filled with significant events. The trial and home confinement of her father was the most significant of her childhood. The education she received from her father at this time would prepare her well for her own trial. She had a deep confidence in
Annemarie is very brave and trustworthy. She has really good character traits. In the book Number the Stars, she becomes more mature, she goes from girlhood to womenhood. She lies but only to keep people safe. Other people lied to her to keep her or the Jews safe. When a German soldier stopped her in the woods he said, “What are you doing here?” She had to act as Kirsti would, so she held out her basket with the thick loaf of bread visible. “My Uncle Henrick forgot his lunch, and I’m taking it to him. He’s a fisherman.”
But now that she’s ten years old a lot has changed. She’s very hard working and determined when it comes to her school work and running. She wasn’t quiet but at the same time wasn’t always as much of a chatterbox like her sister Kristi. Annemarie would do anything for somebody that meant the most to her. And if it wasn’t for her, Ellen and her parent’s would be gone. Her role in the book was very major, because in the time of need she was the only one left to finish the task of saving her friend. And without thinking about herself she did what had to be done. She was selfless and saw the little things in life as the big things. Annemarie lived her life full of excitement no matter what was going on in the real world, the grown up

Don’t you hate it when your family and strangers treat you in a harsh way. Anne Frank was treated harshly by some people in the secret annex people would yell at her call her spoiled lazy and was always telling her what to do. But some people treated her nicely like Peter VanDaan and her dad in a way that made her feel loved by some people around her. Anne was a twelve year old girl when she was forced into hiding because she was a Jew in Nazi territory during WW2. Anne is treated by the people in the annex in many ways and that effects her character in such a way that changes her character.
An unknown author once stated, “Bad decisions make great stories.” This is debatable because in the book Number the Stars, Annemarie made a great decision and it altered the story for the better. Annemarie should have copied Kirsti to escape the soldiers for three reasons: because Kirsti was cute, because Kirsti was still sheltered, and because there was so much at stake. The first reason Annemarie should have copied Kirsti to escape the soldiers is because Kirsti was cute.
In the historical fiction novel Number the Stars, written by Lois Lowry, Annemarie, a ten year old girl, lives in Copenhagen with her family during WWII and the Nazi occupation. Later in the story Annemarie’s family finds out that the Nazis are going to take the Jews, so the Johansen’s take care of Ellen Rosen, Annemarie’s best friend who is Jewish, while Peter, a family friend, takes care of her parents. Eventually, Mrs. Johansen (Mama) takes the girls to Uncle Henrick’s house so they can move forward on the plan to save the Jewish family. Towards the end, the Johansens, including Annemarie, help the Rosens get to Uncle Henrick’s boat to escape to Sweden. At the end of the story the Rosen family makes it to Sweden, the war ends, and Annemarie

One of the quotes that sticks for me in the chapter is her friend telling her “it’s not like you don’t have a choice, because you do; you can either type or kill yourself.” Although this is a very dramatic way of wording it, it speaks to what writing was like for Anne. She talks about writing multiple drafts feeling like it was the end of the world. Feeling like she was going to be judged or out of a job because she thought her reviews sucked. Instead of giving
Throughout her time in the “Secret Annexe,” (what she called their hiding space) Anne grew from a hot-headed child into a smart young woman. In the beginning of the book, only 2 months after going into hiding, she writes that feels grateful that her and her family have been spared the fate of some of her friends, however this also makes her feel guilty, because she can’t save those who didn’t get the chance to go into hiding. In her diary, on November 19, 1942, she wrote,“We’re so fortunate here, away from the turmoil. We wouldn’t have to give a moment’s thought to all this suffering if it weren’t for the fact that we’re so worried about those we hold dear, whom we can no longer help. I feel wicked sleeping in a warm bed, while somewhere out there my dearest friends are dropping from exhaustion or being knocked to the ground.” (paragraph 5 pg 55)
Even though Anne lived in confinement and in such circumstances she didn’t give up on herself and was still optimistic. This shows that Anne Frank is a strong person, at an early age she was able to not lose hope and still believed that people are really good at heart. She continued to grow as a person and still had positivity in
