    Project by Naomi Arpi

    PLOT
    Exposition : Annemarie is a normal girl that
    lives in Denmark with her lovely family and has
    Ellen as her best friend and they care for each
    other so much. Annemarie wants to help Ellens
    family from been captured and killed or taken to
    Concentration camps because they are Jews and
    the Nazi solders are searching and capturing the
    Jews.
    Ellen gets separated from her family for a while.

    Rising action : Annemaries family help the


    Rosens family (Ellens family), by hiding them
    in Uncle Henriks house and then Uncle Henriks
    will take them to a save place were they can not
    be captured by the German solders.

    Climax : Ellen and her family are put in Uncle


    Henriks boat so that he will take them to
    Sweden , but Ellen needs to get a special tool
    from her house before the solders search their
    boat.

    Resolution : Ellen and her family are finally save


    in Sweden , thanks to Annemaries help, and
    after two years the war has ended.

    setting
    The setting is Denmark Copenhagen, 1943 , at
    that time the Nazi solders were relocating all
    the Jews of Denmark .
    The story most takes place in Uncle Henriks
    house,

    Main Idea
    The main idea of my story is when Annemarie was
    hiding Ellen from the Nazi solders , and it was
    dangerous.

    Character development
    Annemarie at first was a normal happy girl that
    had a family and a friend that really loved her,
    she didnt know what being brave was until one
    day she had to be brave , she didnt care about
    being brave , now she knows what being brave
    really means and that its not easy.

    Theme
    The theme is to be brave no matter what, no
    matter how scary or hard the problem is, I
    connect this to myself because when I was little I
    had really bad problems and I didnt think I was
    brave enough to handle them I just wanted to
    give up but my mom told me to be brave its not
    easy to be brave but we have to try.

    past tense.

    means done and ed(sffix) is past tense.
    Dissapear- I know Dis (prefix) means distance,
    appear (root) means come in sight, ed (suffix)
    means past tense.

    Genre
    The genre of my book is Historical Fiction , I
    believe that because the setting is in Germany
    when there were Nazi solders.

    Imagery
    The night was quiet, too. A slight breeze moved
    in the tops of the trees, and from the meadow
    came the sound of the seas movement, which
    was a constant sound here and had always been.
    But no birds called or cried here now, in the
    nigh. The cow slept in the barn, the kitten up
    stairs in Kirstis arms.
    The author could've just write, a breeze moved
    the trees, but instead she chose stronger words
    so that the reader could visualize.

    Figurative Language
    I will take it, she said . I know the way, and its
    almost light now, I can run like the wind.
    This shows a hyperbole because you cant
    actually run like the wind , its just an
    exaggeration .
    There were stars here and there, dotting the sky
    among thin clouds, but no moon.
    I think this is important how the author uses
    some of this words to catch the readers
    attention.
