Number Of The Stars- Assignment 5

     The genre of the story is mostly Historical Fiction. I think its Historical Fiction because The Nazis are real and what happens to the Jews are real to. Some events in the story may be made up but the whole point in the story is how bad the Jews were getting treated. I like this genre because most of the story is true and some are not. The Arthur tries to inform the reading about how the Jews were getting treated from a kids point of view. 
   In chapter in chapter 10 the family fake a fake death to give the Nazis a reason why everyone was coming over. When the nazis came they had a casket to make it more realist but really there was no body in the casket. They were planning something secretive for the Jews. The nazis did come and try to intimidate them and make cough up what was going on. Ellen also saw her parents.  

Number Of The Stars - Climax

   
   A summary of the book we finished " Number Of The Stars" is the conflicts are leading up. One of the main conflicts is making sure the Nazis don't find out anything there planning. One thing they planned was to fake like Ellen ( Annemarie friend which who is Jewish) was there real daughter while her mom and dad go on a "trip" but one night the Guards came in and was questioning the family trying to make them break and say that she wasn't there real child. But the dad finds a way to solve that problem! 
      The book we just finished in Lit Studies is called " Number Of The Stars". In chapter 9 " Why Are You Lying " the rising action happened when Annemarie found out Uncle Henrik and mama was lying her. As she walked out side she saw Uncle Henrik working on something so she went up to him. " You are lying to me.  You and mama both." Uncle Henrik knew Annemarie knew something about what him and mama were planning. " Its much easier to be brave if you don't know everything." Uncle Henrik replied. They were planning a fake death so they could have a reason to tell the Nazis why there were having so many people over but really they were planning something. Annemarie still didn't find out what it was until the day of the funeral came. After the rising action,
Annemarie found out what they were planning and it made her want to be more brave and be a upstander just like Uncle Henrik and Mama.

Page-67 
         A summary of the book we are reading in Lit Studies the main characters Annemarie, Ellen ( Annemarie friend ), Kiristi ( Annemarie little sister). Ellen's family is Jewish , they live in Copenhagen Denmark. In World War II, Denmark lost the war against the German so the Nazis came and took over the city. Since they took over everything is so different from the way it was before. Annemarie and her family want to save all the Jews especially her friend Ellen's family. Threw out the book they find ways to help the Jews from the Nazis.  
        In the book " Number Of The Stars " one of the characters (mom) Mrs. Johansen had a Memory Moment when they were on the trains and they pasted by where she use to live with her mom. She remembers how perfect it was when she was growing up and she remembers all the times she had. She said in the book "It stills looks perfect just as she left it." This made her remember all the times she had with her mom. 

Upstanders and Bystanders The Holocaust

I think some people stood by and watched the holocaust because most people probably thought of it as if they stand up than the nazis are going to come after them. Something that inspires the upstanders to stand up to the nazis because they saw how they were being treated and the jews were being victimize. I would have probably not stood up because what if they try to come after me. We have learned about camps when the jews were being catched they were put in camps and being killed. I don't like how they were being treated just because of there region. If I was a jew I would want someone to stand up for me but I would understand why they wouldn't.
