I think in the chapter 11 when the first group have to go to Sweden I think of this moment in the book were they are in the boat I could say the family is kind of stress because they are living to Sweden and they are just living there home and just going to save there life.And I think they are stress too because there were a solder and they are going maybe they are scared of seeing again a solder.
ReplyDeleteI see that now everyone is moving on to get to freedom and Peter is the person who is helping them. I used to think that all the Jews have suffered a lot, but now I think that Peter is the one who founded this company for helping Jews because the author is only mentioning him in the story, but there also might be other people too. One important theme of the book that I infer is war. Since there is war all around them I think the setting is the most important piece of the theme.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Mahil. Its real Peter is helping all time.
DeleteI think peter is taking the jews to a safe place and other family jews thats why he said im never coming
ReplyDeletedud I so agrey
DeleteWhat I do not get is arent there army boats on the see
ReplyDeleteps that is so much of a riscke
I think in the chapter 11 too Peter is very courageous.I think he is courageous because first he is like giving his live for the Jewish people.And secondly I think he is courageous because he trying to take all the Jewish people to a saver place.
ReplyDeleteI think that Peter and the Johanson family are compassionate to help the Jews from the Nazi's.
ReplyDeleteI have this big question why are the Nazi's bad why did they choose this path in life? They could
have chose the good path. Why are they so bad?
because I think Hitler has some power over Nazi's and he wants to rule the earth so he is taking over some Countries like Denmark.
DeleteI think Peter is helping Jews because of something that happened to Lise,because Anne Marie older sister helping Jews would put Anne Marie's life in danger so Peter would not want to do that. Peter was really sad that Lise died so he is helping Jews escape so Jew won't die like Lise did.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you Niyanta. I think he wants to help everyone.
DeleteDuring this last chapter, I noticed that everyone is showing courage. The way I think this is that Peter risk his life to save someone's life. Anne Marie's mother was scared of the sea, but courageously, she got on the boat. Also, Ellen and Anne Marie was brave to being in the dangerous war.
ReplyDeleteI think one important theme of this book is Courage. For addition Ellen's mom is showing courage because even she is scared of sea, she is crossing the sea to go to Sweden. Another example is Peter. He is showing courage because he is risking his life for saving Jewish people. He is helping Jewish people by helping them to escape from Denmark. Because there are Nazi soldiers in Denmark but in Sweden there are no Nazi soldiers. And Nazi soldiers didn't invaded Sweden yet. And also another example is AnneMarie's mom because she even lied to the soldiers to save Jewish people.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think one more important theme in story is Compassion. Because Peter is compassionate he helped Jewish people. Because there is no other reasons that he helped Jewish people. Because if he was not compassionate about Jewish people he will just call the Nazi soldiers and they will caught them all.

DeleteI think after peter is taking them I predict he is going to have maybe a hiding spot in Denmark and take them there.I also predict maybe peter has a relative in Sweden and he is going to take them there.Peter really wants to saw the Jewish people.So peter is a really important character in the book.
ReplyDeleteI used to think that Anne Marie is not brave, but now I think that she is courageous. Something that really struck me in the story was that they faked that great aunt Birte was there. One important theme of this book is Courage.
ReplyDeleteI think a theme of this book is friendship because when Ellen comes to live with Ann Marie and her family they take her under her wing and love her. They also risk getting caught by the Nazi just to get Ellen and her family to Sweden
