For Kirsti, the soldiers were simply part of the landscape, something that had always been there, on every corner, as unimportant as lampposts, throughout her remembered life. (page 15)

Observe: It appears that it is the calm after a very traumatic or negative experience.
Notice: Kirsti's knowledge and experience with the German soldiers is a stark contrast to the one Annemarie and Ellen had.
Wonder: What exactly happened before Kirsti could remember/was born? War?

The German word was as familiar as it was frightening. Annemarie heard it often enough before, but it had never been directed at her until now. (page 11)

Observe: She has heard German soldiers using the word "stop" many times.
Notice: Familiarity typically comes with comfort. When you are familiar with someone, you become more at ease. In this case, it is the other way round. Which shows the kind of negative experiences Annemarie has had with the German soldiers.
Wonder: To whom did the German soldiers direct their commands to usually?

But Kirsti reached up and pushed the soldier's hand away - "Don't," she said loudly.

Observe: While the older girls were afraid and knew to stand still and not antagonise the soldiers, Kirsti was bold and brave.

Notice: Kirsti is clearly unhappy with the whole situation and she scowls at the soldiers and the 2 older girls. She is quite brazen.

Wonder: I wonder why she isn't more guarded, afraid. Being younger, I would expect Kirsti to be more scared especially if she is 5 and the soldiers have been around for 3 years.

Excerpt: He prodded the corner of her backpack with the stock of his rifle. Annemarie trembled. “What is in here?” he asked loudly. From the corner of her eye, she saw the shopkeeper move quietly back into the shadows of the doorway, out of sight.
Observe: A soldier seems to have caught up with the character.
Notice: I notice that the shopkeeper moved silently from the scene.
Wonder: I wonder why the shopkeeper did not help... I wonder what would happen next.

...They walked quickly, not speaking,... When they were almost home, Ellen whispered suddenly, "I was so scared."
Observe: The girls moved to distance themselves from the soldiers very quickly.
Notice: They appeared/seemed fearful of the soldiers.
Wonder: Normally soldiers are associated with protection. Why would the girls be scared and fearful of them instead?

Observe : Appearance of a German soldier changes the mood in the story.
Notice : The German word being used in a town of Copenhagen.
Wonder : Is it WW2?

# data[].attributes.body
Observe:  Three girls innocently moving around a neighbourhood in Copenhagen. They cross paths with soldiers. They stop whatever they are doing.

Notice:  They seem to be deathly afraid of the soldiers. Are soldiers a normal sight in the neighbourhood? Based on the girls' reaction to the soldiers, this is a relatively new development in the neighbourhood and the girls are adjusting to the change.

Wonder: I wonder what is the relationship between the girls? Is Annemarie the eldest? Are they more than school friends and neighbours?

Observe : The soldier's appearance change the mood in the story. From the joy of childhood innocence where the two characters were racing to something serious.

Wonder : Is this during WW2?

“Don’t talk so much..”
Observe: Annemarie is answering a soldier.
Notice: She knows she should not say too much to them.
Wonder: Why should she be mindful of what she says to the soldier? Why do her friends stop behind her?

Excerpt: "I'll race you to the corner, Ellen!" Annemarie adjusted the thick leather pack on her back so that her schoolbooks balanced evenly. "Ready?" She looked at her best friend.
Observe: Two friends are playing.
Notice: they are probably after school.
Wonder: I wonder who is going to win. I wonder where they are racing.

"The soldier reached down and stroked her little sister's short, tangled curls." p.4

Observe: The soldier is friendly to Annemarie's sister, Kirsti.
Notice: The soldier is unusually friendly.
Wonder: Is the soldier up to no good or he is genuinely nice? Will the two girls be safe later on in the story?

"Halte!" the soldier ordered in a stern voice. (p.2).

Observe: There is a soldier in the middle of town, that is unusual.
Notice: The soldier is addressing harmless schoolgirls running in the middle of town, as if he is going to reprimand them for breaking a rule.
Wonder: What sort of world is this set in, where soldiers give commands to girls in the middle of town? Is it wartime?
