The liquid that Peter gave the baby was a drug that puts you to sleep,kind of like Nyquil.It put the baby to sleep so that it wouldnt wake up during the journey.So it did have something to do w/escaping!What did you think it was?

RESPOND BACK PLEASE!!!!!

From Emily T.
Have you read any other good books aboutthe Jews? Well, I have its called The Diary of Anne Frank. This book tells about when this little girl named Anne Frank.Her family was all Jewish inclouding Anne. Anne and her family was sent to a concentration camp. Finally they got out and they needed a place to stay. So Mr. Frank went out to find a place to stay. He finally found a place it was a factory. So then they moved up into the attic. They had rules for everything, because people work there in the day time. They had to burn everythingin the stove. They couldn't throw anyting away ,because that might give someone a clue . So they will think someone is living there.
I have also seen that play. If you get a chance I would recomand you to go and see it! There is also a movie about it. I want to see that to.
PLEASE WRITE BACK A.S.A.P.

I don't think that they will put them in the casket and then sail all the jews away because their isn't enough room for all of them, but i do think that they will hide them somehow because the soldiers might catch them. Do u think they will get to Sweden?? Do u think that mama and annemarie and kirsty and papa will go with them??? please respond A*S*A*P*!!!!

I have to agree with you about getting a mysterious feeling when Peter dropped the liquid in the baby's mouth. I think it is a liquid that puts you to sleep. So, peter probably put the liquid in the baby's mouth so it would fall asleep and not make any sounds so they could get away without getting caught by soldiers. Don't you think it was smart of Peter to do that? I do. Otherwise they might have been caught by soldiers just because the stupid baby began to cry or something like that.

I don't know what the name of the liquid is but I know it was supposed to keep the baby from crying. I think that Kirsti will get mad at Mama when she finds out Mama gave away her sweater because she won't understand that it was being used for a good cause. She will probably think Mama was just being mean and wanted to give it to a total stranger. What do you think? What do you think is in the package that Peter gave to Mr. Rosen? I think it is something that will help Uncle Henrik help the people to escape. Do you think Mr. Rosen will be able to get the package to Uncle Henrik? What do you think?

TO:morgan.m.kristin.l I think that that liquid that put into the baby's body was maybe to keep the baby quiet and calm throughout the rest of the journey to Sweden. I am sure it would not harm the baby.

Why do you think that in chapter 12 Annemarie's mom is lying on the floor? i think that she is either dead or she passed out tryng to run from someone. i also think she was running from someone and tripped hit her head and fell. in chapter 11 it was kind of sad that they had to leave peter. I can't wait to read chapter13.

Dear Erica,
I also like chapter 10 because it was interesting but sometimes puzzling.I was also scared when the soldier slapped Mama but I was also mad! They had no right to slap her in my opinion.I thinek that they really isn't any person in the casket but I maybe wrong!I also think that Peter is reading the psalms so that if the soldiers are still there they will think that there really is an Aunt-Birte.

The liquid that Peter gave the baby was a sleeping liquid to keep the baby from waking up and crying.I also think Kirsti will be mad at mama but she will understand when mama explains that the baby needs it more than she does.Why do you think the book is called "Number the Stars"?

I just got finished reading chapter 11 and I think that it was not as exiting the chapters that I had read earlier. One of the questions that was from my response journal was:"How would this chapter be different if Peter was telling the story?" I said that the story would be different 'cuz Peter would have wrote how everyone was felling at that time.

what do you think? WRITE BACK ........ PRETTY PLEASE!!!!!!

To answer your question 'Why Uncle Henrik was lying?'

He lied becuase he wanted to protect Annemarie and Ellen.

In chapter 11, I thought it was really mysterious that Peter dropped that liquid in the bay mouth. I wonder what it is? I think that was nice of mama to give Kristi jacket to the baby. I think that Kristi is going to be mad at first, but know that the baby's parents can't afford it. That should make Kristi feel giving because she is giving up one of her favorite belongings to someone poor.

I think that this book was good,bravery,sad,and bad. I think the book was good because I like the action and how people helped there community.I thik it is bravery because Peter tried to sneak people to Sweden until the war was over.I think it was sad how they killed Peter by exicution because they caught him,and how they ran over Lise with a army truck.I think it was bad of the Nazi's to come to someone else's country and take over by sending them to exicution camps.I think they should get 6 stars.

If I could talk to annmarie,I would ask annmarie how did you feel when your sister get run over by one of the nitzi soldiers and what they did to peter.I feel really bad and sorry for you becous almost every body died in your family.I really liked the part when all of denmark was celabrating when they won the war.I like the man who at least gave the Jewish peaple a chance to ascape from denmark and go to sweeten.If I would get three wishes I would wish for this.My first wish would be that the nitzis were never hear.My second wish would be for all the peaple who died for no good reason and would be alive back then and my third wish will be that the nitzis well never come back.
