Character Analysis

In the novel Number the Stars, there is one character that really stuck out to me, Annemarie. A young girl who is a shy and weak character that is afraid of the Nazi's and doesn't want to be known. However, at the end of the book, she changes. She is set on an important mission to save her best friends life, and at this part becomes… brave.

Annemarie affects the entire story because she is one of the main characters. She is definitely a dynamic character. In one of the scenes, Annemarie and her family hide Annemarie's best friend, Ellen because her family is Jewish, but Annemarie and Ellen think that they are just having a bunch of sleepover together. One day a German soldier came to her families door asking where Ellen's family was because they haven't been checking their mail. Annemarie then responds that Ellen's family ran away! This changes the whole story because they were trying to keep them hidden, so they would not be sent to the conservation camp. Annemarie is without a doubt a dynamic character.

Annemarie is a very young girl, that doesn't like to be heard. But in this story, she does things that she would never had done, before the Holocaust came into play. Annemarie is a very dynamic character, so she affects the entire story.
