I think maybe they outsmarted the Nazis, until the point when Peter ran into the infantry soldier when he was burying the bullion. But nothing might happen because the infantry soldier was friendly with Peter. One reason is the infantry soldier is friendly with Peter is because when he was putting up posters all over the school he we friendly with Peter when Peter ran into the infantry soldier at school. Also the soldier might not even do anything because he doesn’t really like what he is doing to Norway and the Norwegians. Maybe he will take his side and help Peter and everyone else instead of spilling the beans.

Number The Stars – Open Response #3 – Chapters 9 – 13
June 9, 2021 by abbevangelista19
I agree with Uncle Henrik. If you don’t know a lot about something, for example the truth. It is much easier to stay brave, and focused, on the goal. To support this i have to say, would you think Some of the characters would do the things they did while knowing the truth? Although sometimes the characters might know the truth yet still do these things for a better life… some actions taken throughout the story could have probably been prevented, or changed for the better, or the worse if the truth of the nazis, and the alliance has been given out to everyone. Also for the 3 incidents in the story the first one could be when Annemarie was running to school at the start of the book. Would you think that Annemarie, and Kirsti would be running down the side walk if they had known that there w0uld be soldiers at the corner? Also when annemarie keeps her friend Ellen in her house do you think that would happen if no one knew of the nazis plans? Finally do you think that Annemarie, Kirsti, and Ellen would be sent to Uncle Henrik’s house if any of this happened at all?

Someone Named Eva Response #3 (6-10)
June 8, 2021 by abbevangelista21
In the book Someone Named Eva, on page 140, Eva says “I felt content and full for the first time in a very long time.” I think she said that because she hasn’t had a family that cared for her in a very long time. I don’t think Eva should be feeling that way yet and here are a few reasons from the text on why I think that. First of all Eva’s “vater” is A commandant of a prison camp and everyone is a proud hitler follower. Because of that reason, if I was Eva, I wouldn’t trust any of them incase they force me to become a proud Nazi citizen. Then I would have to let go my new family that I trusted. My second reason is that Since Eva now lives like a German citizen, Eva is starting to forget herself even more than before. She already forgot the names she called her loved ones and I don’t want her to forget anything else. Lastly Elsbeth says that vater’s favorite child is Peter and he treats Peter like a king and everyone else are just the slaves. I want to make sure that if Eva goes to vater for help she will get the help she asked for, and the vater will not say he’s busy or doesn’t care. I want to make sure all the children are getting treated equally. In conclusion, I want Eva to be happy with her new family but at first I want her to take precautions, be ready for anything to happen, and make sure her new family is treating her the right way.

Blog post #3

Misha should have tried harder to get rid of Janina. For one reason there were a bunch of flops and Nazis and Big Henryk was standing on the wall with Kuba. And if they spotted them they will go back to the ghetto. Plus Misha has to go by himself and if Janina and Misha started arguing Big Henryk will stop them. And also if they get caught they will be hanged just like Olek because he is a smuggler. Another reason is Misha has to go by himself to the secret location where Uri is and doesn’t want anyone to know where it is. Finally Misha should have tried harder because Uri has specific directions for Misha which Uri doesn’t want anyone else to know and what he told to Misha “Don’t look guilty” So those are the reasons.

Someone Named Eva Open Response #3
June 8, 2021 by abbevangelista15
In ‘Someone Named Eva’ a girl was forced out of her family to become German. She needed to go to a German citizen camp for 2 years! After World War 2 though, she left that camp and got adopted by the Werner family. Now she has one older sister, Elsbeth and a younger brother, Peter. Although on page 140 she said, ‘I felt content and full for the first time in a very long time.’ I feel by this statement she is feeling welcome, and happy, nothing really to worry about. I say this because in the book it tells how happy Eva is, her mutter sewed her a brand new dress, that exactly matches the tone of her eyes! She also says this because they through a huge adoption celebration just for Eva! Everyone has Eva’s favorite flavor cake and the whole day revolves around Eva! It makes her happy to the point where she nearly has nothing to worry about! Although I do think she should feel this way, at least at this moment, it’s a party! And the whole family is nice and safe. Her Vater is making good money, they live in a huge house, and well she is out of the camp! I am willing to figure out if this will stay the same throughout the rest of the book! But I wonder if ‘the tables will turn…’.

I agree with Uncle Henrik’s statement of “It is much easier to be brave if you do not know everything.” No offense Annemarie but, I don’t think she would have been able to tell that Nazi that it was her Great Aunt Birte’s funeral, if she knew that all the people that were there, were Jews and they were going to escape. This is because she would probably be so scared that the Nazis would find out that all the people that were there were Jews, that she would let something out that she wasn’t supposed to say, or do something that would make it obvious that she was lying. Another thing that proves this, is the first chapter, where Annemarie and Ellen were stopped by police officers. She probably wouldn’t have been able to say that they were running to practice for school races, if she new that they were trying to capture all the Jewish people, and Ellen who was right behind him, was Jewish. Lastly, She probably would not have been able to tell the Nazis that Ellen was her sister if she knew everything about what the Nazis were trying to do. Clearly, it is much easier to be brave if you do not know everything.

Number The Stars Chapters 9-13 Open Response (Lucas)
June 8, 2021 by abbevangelista5
I agree with Henrik when he said “It is easier to be brave when you don’t know everything.” I agree with him because if you know how scary the thing can be, it is a lot harder to be brave. First of all, in chapter 1, when Annemarie and Ellen got stopped by the Nazi’s. If Annemarie knew that the Nazi’s were after the Jews, she would’ve probably been to scared to talk because Ellen is Jewish. Another reason is if Annemarie knew that the Jews were gonna escape, it would be much harder to tell the Nazi soldiers that her Great-aunt Birte died. My last reason is that if Annemarie knew that they were going to Henrik’s house to get Ellen to Sweden, it would be mush harder for her to go because she wouldn’t want to let her best friend go. Those are the reasons why I agree with Henrik when he said “It is easier to be brave when you don’t know everything.”

Peter, Uncle Victor and the others have outsmarted the Nazis. They have outsmarted the Nazis because most of the gold is on the boat and would be able to be shiped to America that the moment. They would capture the blue eyed private because he saw Peter hide the gold under the snowman and he won’t be able top tell the Nazis about the gold. They could tell the blue eyed private to not tell the rest of the Nazis because he was captured. In conclusion, Peter, Uncle Victor and the others have outsmarted the Nazis.

Peter, Uncle Victor and the others have outsmarted the Nazis. They have outsmarted the Nazis because most of the gold is transferred to Uncle Victor’s boat which will transfer the gold to America. Also, even though the blue eyed infantry soldier saw the gold they would capture the blue eyed infantry soldier to stop him from breaking the news to the Nazis. Also, if the infantry soldier escapes afterward it would still be too late because by the time he escapes the gold would have already been transferred to America. In conclusion, I think that Peter, Uncle Victor, and the others have outsmarted the Nazis.

Milkweed open response #3 (Gigi)

Should Misha have tried harder to make sure Janina stopped following him? Well, I think this is more complex than just “Yes” or “No”. However, if I had to pick a side, no, And here’s why. First off, Misha is literally 8 (more or less), so why should he have to be responsible for taking care of a child? That’s Mr.Milgrom and Mrs.Milgrom’s job, even though it was difficult to look after Janina. Next, I don’t think he should’ve tried harder to stop her because he had already made such an effort, you know? But she still wouldn’t listen. In the story, Misha says “Your father wants you to stop.” “You get in my way, you’re a dirty Jew.” He had already attempted several times, why would a stubborn child (Janina) stop now? Finally, I don’t think Misha should’ve tried harder because Janina would probably find a way to escape anyway. “Janina!”Misha said. “I followed you.” Janina said. As you can see, she can already slip out of the ghetto on her own, so Misha telling her to stop most likely wouldn’t have done anything. Clearly, although Janina should’ve stopped smuggling because it was far too dangerous, I don’t think it was really Misha’s job to take care of her.
