I found two tricky word. The first word is dazed, it means if someone is unable to think or react. The second word is clanging, it means a loud metallic sound. I predict Friesland is no more safe, because bombs are starting to drop on the schools.

Today we had two tricky words which was dike and galvanized, dike is like a valley or a hill and galvanized is like a tub which has a layer of metal protected with zinc. I predict that it's going to start getting more dangerous at Friesland because a stray bomb already almost destroyed a school so who knows if the Nazis might Attack again?.

Sometimes items in a story are used by the author to symbolize something deeper. For example, a cupcake might symbolize a happier time before the war when people were free. What items have you noticed in your book that symbolize something deeper?

3 symbols I saw today was hero the horse the sleigh. Why I think hero was a symbol is because he reminded izaak of power determination and resilience, why I think the sleigh is a symbol is because it remanded izaak of happy times.

When something happens in a story, it could have a big or small impact on the character. But you yourself might have a different perspective because you are not living the character's life. Your life is different. For example, seeing some butter probably means nothing to you, but to a character in Number the Stars it is a big deal... Find a passage of text from your book and explain how a character's point of view might be different to yours, because of your different backgrounds.

I thought that in the war, if the German soldiers came. They would take everything from the people like animals. Isaak had to hide Hero the horse so that the German soldiers wouldn’t take it away. But nowadays, we would just run for our lives, not saving any animals, because the soldiers doesn’t need them any more. In the war before the comtries  were very poor and that’s why they take things they need.

I found two symbols today. The first one is hero, because it shows strengths and power to me. The second symbol is the sleigh, it brings happier times for Isaak before the war started.

From my point of view the German soldiers are trying to take all the animals that they need to get even stronger that they can take over all the earth to them self and all that stuff, and nowadays we would just not save any animals we would just leave them alone and run for our lives to keep ourselves safe, and when they get more animals they get stronger every moment, when they get the animals.

In this chapter the characters feel as if they are family. For example Gabes point of view is when the soldiers come to the barn to look for any animals for Jews. Gabe surrenders for izaak. Because of what his family did for him and he had to flee. So he doesn’t want izaak to go through the things that he went through. I can understand that he stood up to the soldiers for all that izaak has done for him. Nowadays if a soldier came up to someone asking to take someone there’s got to be a back story on why they are there

For symbols, today I saw 2 symbols 1 is hero (the horse) and 1 is Gabe
Hero is 1 of the symbols because he is the most important animal in the farm (friseland) and because he is the most wanted animal, he is also a symbol because he is a very special animal that will help the Jews get to freedom, Gabe is a symbol because he also wants to help all the Jews to escape even when he’s a Jew and he wants to be brave and that he would be the one who’s going to be the one that’s going to be taken.

They were many different symbols in this chapter. For example there is the cobblestone path. One reason for this is because of how he remembers when the tanks were in Amsterdam. On top  of this there is is the windowsill on how for days and days he went into hiding under the sill
