Ellen has to stay at Annemarie's house because her parents went to a relative's house. Also since the Nazis were around and checking for more Jews,Ellen had to pretend to be apart of the Johansen Family. "Tonight Ellen be coming to stay overnight and be our guest for a few days!"(Lowry,35) "Annemarie Johansen. And this is my sister...(Ellen says) Lise, Lise Johansen." (Lowry,47)
This is is Annemarie's call of adventure to save her friend Ellen, she knew that Ellen was Jewish and needed help
Ellen was worried which made Annemarie worried. And Annemarie was asking her mother about Ellen's new year which is a Jewish religion and that this may not be a good time to do anything. "but it was clear that they were worried and it made Annemarie worried". (Lowry, 35) "But mama,it's their New Year. They were going to have a celebration at home!" (Lowry, 34)
Refusal Of The Call in The Number The Stars is basically when Annemarie doesn't feel comfortable with Ellen having to stay with her family for a few days during the jewish new year which Ellen and her family were going celebrate, and that probably made Ellen worried and that made Annemarie worried and that also probably caused Annemarie to ask her mother that probably this isn't right. She felt bad for her friend, and was uncomfortable with her being so worried.
Life was good for Annemarie and Ellen, its the time when Annemarie and Ellen found out about the Nazis and what they are capable of. In the ordinary world Ellen and Annemarie would race a lot to practice for school races. "We have to meet for athletic meet on Friday- I know I'm going to win the girls' race this week, but I have been practicing every week." (Lowry, 1)
This stage in the book and in the hero's journey relate to eachother because the ordinary world in the hero's journey is before everything gets serious, before the big fight, before everything got real. The ordinary world in Number The Stars is before Annemarie and Ellen knew about the Nazis and what they are doing to only Jewish people.
The Hero's Journey was written by Joseph Campell. The Hero's Journey is about what a real hero is and the stages they go through to become that hero that they're meant to be. A hero is just not a cop, fireman, doctor,a mother, father, or a person that saved your life . It can be an ordinary person. It doesn't matter what shape or size you are,its about what you are capable of and how you can do it the sacrifices that the hero has to go through and how the sacrifices make them grow as a person in a strong and awesome way not just by shape or size. Mormomyth is anther word for Hero's Journey.
Number The Stars by Lois Lowry is mostly about a German girl named Annemarie who is 10 years old. It's 1943 in Copenhagen and this time is back where the Nazis were in the picture. Annemarie and her family have to sacrifice their lives for Annemarie's friend Ellen and Ellen's family to save their lives because they're jewish and they could be killed or captured. This is a dangerous mission for Annemarie. There was no turning back now and the job they had to do had to be done right, if there was a mistake it will lead to consequences.
After the Johansen's have been lucky with Lise's baby picture of her having dark hair because of Ellen's dark hair. Ellen apologizes to Mrs. Johansen for her having dark hair after Ellen said that, Mrs. Johansen explains to Ellen how lucky they were and that Ellen has beautiful dark hair.Ellen has been lucky again because Ellen has that jewish star necklace that is called star of David and Annemarie had yanked it off of her neck before the German soldiers began to inspect her and Ellen, if Annemarie didn't noticed the necklace on Ellen the German soldier would've known that Ellen is Jewish.Soon after that, Mr. and Mrs.Johansen think about what they should do and that choice is that Mrs. Johansen ,Ellen and would Annemarie go to Uncle Henrik's house instead of school and plus it would raise less suspicion of their appearance especially for Ellen's sake. "We must take the girls to Henrik's." (Lowry,50)
Mr. and Mrs. Johansen did a good choice when they have decided to take Ellen and Annemarie to Uncle Henrik. Things were a lot safer since then.
Meeting The Mentor
Road Of Trials
Uncle Henrik is kind of basically Annemarie's mentor because he tells her that she's brave,how she is brave and help her to brave. Uncle Henrik basically defines her and helps her and also most importantly gives her advice."It is much easier to be brave if you do not know everything."(Lowry,76)"We did so, to help you to be brave,because we love you." (Lowry,77)
Uncle Henrik knows what's best for Annemarie and has faith in her for every step she goes on completing her mission. She needs him. She most definitely would not be better off without him.
Allies and Helpers
Peter and Uncle Henrik are Annemarie's true allies and helpers. Peter tells Annemarie more about the Nazis and also Peter at the end did such a huge help, it was super important and definitely without him the mission would've been unsuccessful.Same with Uncle Henrik, the Rosens needed a place to hide on the boat so they will be unnoticeable. Uncle Henrik tells what's brave about Annemarie. He gives her advice. Thank goodness for them.
All heros need allies and helpers just like Annemarie she couldn't do her mission without Uncle Henrik and Peter. Image a mission without allies and helpers or a mentor... it doesn't look pretty.
