Character Analysis

As far as I am in the novel of Number the Stars,   it’s hard to say that any of the characters are dynamic. Annemarie is the ten year old of the Johansen’s family she is young but yet knows enough to know the world currently isn’t safe or her.  Her behavior is expected of any girl living through the Holocaust; it seems to me like she misses all the little things, such as eating a full meal or being able to go outside without the worry of world. Now all those little things were taken away from her because of the Holocaust. Annemarie is a static character; her beliefs in God remain the same, values as well.   It’s very clear that Annemarie and her family have no respect for the German nation; never will they side with them unless it’s for their own safety or if their lives are at risk. Therefore they are all static characters.

  1. Personally I'd really hate being in her shoes. As long as you are young, "nature is your toy and the world is your playground." When you get older, you start missing out on things in life. You need materials to be happy. Kinda sad isn't it... She loses everything to early. Growing up to fast: don't really fancy it much.
