why are you running ?

When the book begins, in the first chapter Annemarie and her BFF, Ellen, are on their way home from school in Copenhagen. They decide to run a race. Annemarie’s little sister, Kristi, is with them. The two older girls race ahead, but their run to short when they encounter two soldiers. Turns out the soldiers are Germans—Nazis. The Germans have occupied Denmark for three years at this point. The soldiers have a bunch of questions for the girls, and Annemarie tries to take the lead. She and Ellen are scared, but little Kristi doesn't seem to be. Luckily, the soldiers think Kristi is cute and so let the three girls continue on their way, telling them that they shouldn't run. These soldiers are all over Denmark. At home, Annemarie and Ellen say goodbye to each other while Kristi heads inside. The two girls decide that they'll keep their little encounter with the soldiers a secret. But when Annemarie goes into her apartment, she realizes that Kristi has already spilled the beans. Ah, little sisters. The two mothers of the girls are very worried. Ellen’s mom tells Annemarie that they have to be extra careful. Spooky. Annemarie and Kristi’s mom tells them they can have a snack, but their choices are limited because of the occupation by the soldiers. They don't have butter, sugar, or coffee.

"she is pretty,like my own littl girl,"said the soldier in a more pleasant voice.

I find it interesting as the soldier said that to girls. Everybody thought that the soldiers had no feelings and why they killed innocent people. But the truth soldiers were human like everyone else. As this quote says the soldier has families and they may not want to kill people but they forced. I would want to know what the soldiers think about killing people.

"the copenhagen neighborhood was quiet it looked the same as always people coming and goign from the shops,children at play, the soldiers on the corner."

this quote is intersting because is in the time of the second war 2.this quote make me think about that ege.how hitler cotrol everything and how 1 person has alot of power. the mothers spend deciding on the perfect and precise word used to dicribed how they feel about the soldiers.why the soldirs are in each corner?,it something wrong? 

I predict that the soldiers are going to be friend of this girls,and the girls are going to scape of the school, and they would go and spy to the soldiers.they  wouls see hoew the jweiw people are in the camps. what i read of the book is very intersting.i like old the book that are about the second war.i like all the history about this book.i whant to steal reading about it.
