Number the Stars (Chapters 5-6)
Mr. Johansen calls Uncle Henrik in the middle of the night and asks him if the weather is good for fishing. It seems odd to call someone in the middle of the night, right after your home has been invaded by soldiers, to ask if the weather was good for fishing. Was Mr. Johansen really wondering about the fishing conditions? Or was there a different meaning behind his words?
There is a different meaning behind the words. I belive that the words are asking if they could stay with Uncle Henrick for a while.
ReplyDeleteI think you could add and explain yourself a little better but you did good !
DeleteI think that the words have like a secert messege and different meaning to confuse the Nazi soldiers
ReplyDeleteWhat if the Nazi's aren't listening?
DeleteJust in case probably.
DeleteI think he was talking in a type of code he knew to tell Uncle Henrik that the girls were safe and they were coming to stay at his house.
ReplyDeleteGood!
DeleteI think Mr. Johansen wanted Uncle Henrik to believe it was a normal day and they just wanted to have fun with their Uncle. There was a different meaning behind the word.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the secrete meaning????
DeleteI think Anne Marie`s dad was speaking in a secrect code so that if Nazi soldiers were watching them then the Nazis would not know.
ReplyDeleteThere is no space in between Anne and marie. It's just Annemarie.
DeleteI think they were using a code that asks if the girls could visit Uncle Henrik.
ReplyDeleteI think there in a different meaning behind the word. I think it was a code word for saying there is a problem. He said that because the Nazi's could be watching him talk.
ReplyDeleteI bet that it is a secret code saying that they need a hiding place for a jew so Ellen wasn't caught. He might have said that in case Nazi soldiers were eavesdropping.
ReplyDeleteNo. 2
ReplyDeleteShe asked Uncle Hendricks if it was good for fishing because he could ship Ellen across the sea to Sweden. She was referring the cigarettes to Ellen because the Germans could be listening and its like a code.
Amazing!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI think Mr Johansen was using code words to ask if it was safe to bring the girls over.
ReplyDeleteI think Mr.Johansen means its a code to hide the girls from the Nazi soldiers.
ReplyDeleteThere is different meaning for is the weather good for fishing Mrs. Johansen want to stay with her brother because there no German soldiers there and he is hiding no one.
ReplyDeleteHe called him to ask if he could go to his house because the the Nazis just came and figured out too much information and is it good day for fishing means is it safe to go to your house.
ReplyDeleteI think that Mr. Johnson and Uncle Henrik made a code incase anything bad happened, they can use it so if anyone tracks the call they don't get suspiciuos.
ReplyDeleteI think Mr.Joansen was trying to ask if they could stay at his house for a while. After that scary moment I don't think anyone would want to go fishing.
ReplyDeletei think that it means like uncle hendrick will hide them on the water :):):):):):):):):):):):):):(
ReplyDelete"wile fishing"
DeleteI think Mrs.Joanson is going to Uncle Henrik's place to droop of Ellen
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs.Joanson is going to Uncle Henrik's place to droop off Ellen
ReplyDeleteSince the Jewish soldiers invaded the apartment, Papa wanted to keep Ellen safe. So, he made a call to Uncle Henrik as soon as possible. To know if it was the right time to go, he asked if the conditions were good.
ReplyDeleteIt doesnt really mean that I think there trying to move Ellen on the boat sense the soldiers are suspicious.
ReplyDeleteI think Mr. Johansen wanted to get Ellen out of the house so the soldiers wouldn't think she was hiding. So he wanted to know if it was the right time to go there.
ReplyDeleteIs the weather good for fishing was code. It meant that Mrs.Johansen wanted to know if it was a good time to bring Ellen down. Is the weather good, could also mean are their no soldiers? They brought Ellen down there to keep her safe.
ReplyDeleteI think that it was code for is today an o.k. day to come to your house because some soliders invaded the apartment.
ReplyDeleteI think Mr.Joanson may have meant is the time right to bring Ellen the Jew. "Is the weather", means is it a good time. But "good for fishing", meant to bring Ellen. He may have been using a secret code.
ReplyDeleteI think that when he asked if the weather is good for fishing, it was code words, like on the Underground Railroad. He was really asking if it was safe to come over. Annemarie´s papa also talked about cigarettes, he really was talking about Jews.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a code that they had planned in case of an emergency. They actually meant that the soldiers had came to look and they needed somewhere else to go.
ReplyDeleteI think he was asking if the path was clear. The reason he asked that way was because phones used to all connect and a soldier could find out.
ReplyDeleteHe was not wondering if he could fish or not. It was code for "Can you keep Ellen safe in your house? Because if we keep her, the soldiers will be suspicious that we are not working."
ReplyDeleteI think it was a code because if he did say the actual meaning the girls would become suspicious.
ReplyDeleteI think the phrase was a code for if we could come to talk to you. Also it was asking if it was safe. When Annemarie's papa was talking about cigerets, he was taking about how Ellen was a jew and we are here to talk to you about her and the other jews because we are having a problem about it.
ReplyDeleteI think he meant that was it good enough as in was the area clear of Nazi soldiers
ReplyDeleteI think that he didn't want to scare the girls. It meanings that they are going to try to send Ellen away on the boat.
ReplyDeleteThere was words behind the words because if he asks that question and he says yes they think that the coast is clear for them to come to his house.
ReplyDeleteThey might of made some code to explain to Uncle Henrick if he could help to keep Ellen safe.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that he ment about fishing. I think that they made a code.
