Lois Lowry Bravery

In Lois Lowry’s Number the Stars there is an illustration of bravery and courage, which is shown in the way that Annemarie protects her jewish friend Ellen. Throughout the book, Annemarie exhibits bravery; she is constantly conflicted with circumstances where she must act brave. Nazi soldiers lurk on the end of almost every corner, which makes the world that Annemarie and Ellen are living in is terrifying.

It shows that Annamarie is brave because, well, Uncle Henerick says it in the book. Annamarie was brave because Annamarie risked her life just to give Mr. Rosen the package. (Inside the package was a handkerchief that attractives dogs but when the dogs smell it then, the back off.) And Uncle Henerick says to Annamarie that brave meaning not thinking about the dangers. Just thinking about what you must do. And that is what Annamarie was. She was not aware of the dangers. She was just focused on getting the job
