1. I think that Elli (the main character) is very frightened because she doesn't really know what is going to happen next. Also because she is a teenager, so she is worried about what everyone else thinks about her. Like when the Germans said that all the Jews had to wear the yellow stars Elli didn't want to go outside because she was embarrassed that one of her classmates would see it and make fun of her. Another reason iI thunk that Elli is so worried is because she thinks that she is not pretty or smart like her brother. So she thinks that her parents like him better and that makes her even more upset.
2. I think that Elli looks up to her brother because he is always helpful to his parents and he is smart. Also because her parents are always saying how handsome he is. I think that he will help his sister in the ghetto because he is strong and he won't get too worried so he can take care of his family. I also think that he will help his mom by cooking or cleaning and Elli will be so panicked that she won't help that much.
Why do you think that Elli was sad when she noticed that Jancsi Novak saw her yellow star?

I think that she was embarassed when he saw the star because I think she worries a lot about what people think of her. I think that she is kind of ashamed of being a jew at that moment because she wants him to like her no matter what her religion is. But them he sees the star and doesnt like her and so she gets sad that she is being discriminated against because opf her religion.
