is anybody here to discuss my long discussion ideas???

Anonymous said...

ok well for people who sign on later- here is a copy of my discussion questions before:

at the beggining of the story, ellen said "I'mm Ellen Rosen" and annemarie said "im annemarie johansen!" to the soldiers.

Wat is the giraffe soldiers talk with the soldiers that came in at night????

This is tense. Im on the edge of my seat.

Also, Kirsti. Kirsti nearly blew their whole cover, and maybe will do it again.

Why would they use ellen in code? to hide from the girls or from german soldiers possibly eavesdropping??


GOOD NIGHT TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

well cc4 if that is true then why doesnt ellen go to sweden cause ther is proboly isnt a soldier there

Anonymous said...

i think that he couldn't call them because maybe the solders have taped into everybodys phones and that's why he Mr.johansen said cigerettes instead of a jewish girl

Does anyone think that Uncle Henrik will die? i do because he could be seen hiding a jewish person and could be killed for it.

Do you guys think aunt birtie is real, because in the book they said she wasn't real? Maybe the phrase "aunt birdie" is apart of the code, just like "it is a great day for fishing".

Maybe mg7 afterall the next chapter is why are you lying

ya- bs17 when we were reading, i saw the next chap. and waz thinking, " Is lying about the mom lying or the soldiers asking them if why they are lying they found out"

ALso, Aunt Birtie i dont think is real. I think its really Peter (last night we talked about who do we think will die) I think its code for Peter. If not, because noone seemed sad, ithink company is coming. maybe other hidout jewiush people.

i have a question:

do you really think that there is a great aunt birte that died, or do you think that this is another code that they are using for ellen, or for something else?

maybe, but i don't know cc4.

hey ls18 she might go to sweeden because if you look at the picture you see a ship that has many people maybe there taking jews to sweeden.

lp16 i think it's a real even though the next chapter 9 is called Why Are You Lying chapter 10 is lets open the casket. Then they talk about burying herat there house. so it could go anyway i think its real.

Earlier I said that there was no phones or they were a lot of money. Well apparently to call uncle Henrik you have to have a phone but still peter didn't have a cell phone so anyway they couldn't communicate

Where do you guys think the Rosens are? Where do you think Annemarie hid the necklace? Do you think anyone will find it? I think that the Nazis are going to come to Uncle Henrik's house and try to see Ellen but I think that Great Aunt Birte had died was another code and the kids were going to hide in the casket.

Sorry I haven't been here for a while but when aunt Birte 'died' and no one talked I remember when my grandmother died and we talked about good things to remember about her to remember what she did for us and in the book they really didn't have anything to talk about because there was no Aunt-Birte.

Today when Mr. Staley said, "that there was a mouse in the box" he made everyone believe that there was one in it. Many wanted to see it. The point was the courage for wanting to see something dead. I relate it to my mom, and getting me on a roller coaster. If I was aware on the ride, I would not want to go on it. CS20, you made a point about where the necklace that AnneMarie hid. I think that the necklace may be hidden in her clothes closet or her pillow case because she did not have a lot of time to hide it when the Germans left.

I think that in sweden they will live there and peter druged the baby beacause it might make noise so does that mean soldiers might be in sweden what if there is. I also yhink that he should take them somewhere else beacause soldiers will get supcious and check in sweden for the jewish. So why vtake them to the store and the soulja is still there if they are in sweden. someone answer please
