Number the Stars - Chapter 8

I LOVED our class discussion today. Several of you were making predictions at the end of Chapter 8. Annemarie says she is certain there is no Great-Aunt Birtie. What is your predicition?

  1. I think that something to do with the Jews is in that coffin. Or, I have a lurking suspicion that Peter might be in there.

  4. I think Peter took Ellen's Parents to Sweden. They rent a boat and sail over to retrive Ellen and live in Sweden for the rest of their lives.

  5. Somehow I think "Great Aunt Birte" is some kind of code for Ellen's parents. Just a thought.

  9. I think that Great Aunt Berdie is not real and Mama and Hendrick are making her up just to cover for something else.

  10. I think that they were talking in code again. I am pretty sure they are talking about someone important to them and don't want the girls to know yet.

  11. I think that there is no such thing as Great Aunt Birte because Annemarie said she almost knew almsot of her realatives names and never heard of a Great Aunt Birte.And why would they put a casket in their livingroom?

  12. I think that they were talking in code. They probably didn't want Annemarie to know who she was.

  14. I think that no one died and it was just a secret code.

  17. I still think Annemarie's dad or Peter is in coffin. All the girls mom, Annemarie,Ellen, and Kristen or Kirsti went to Inge's brother's house.
