The+Devil's+Arithmetic,+STMM

After reading the //The Devil's Arithmetic//, answer question 1 by including 2 terms for the glossary. Then choose 2 of the remaining questions to answer.

1. Make a glossary of terms for the book. Include both Yiddish terms and ones specific to the camp like "Chosen" and "Organized". Be sure to include the italicized terms from the book.

2. As the story progresses Hannah seems to forget more about who she really is and slowly develops into Chaya. Why do you think she is forgetting her life as Hannah Stern?

3. After #|Rivka organized a job for Hannah in the #|kitchen she tried to thank her, but Rivka would not let her. Instead she told her to "...hand on the thanks...". What does that mean? How can we #|apply that to our own lives?

4. **Irony of the situation** is when what is expected to take place is opposite of what really happens. Explain how this applies to the setting at the camps. Examine the description of the commandant's house and the setting outside the camp and how it is ironic compared to what’s going on inside the camp.

5. How will Hannah's attitude change toward #|Jewish holidays now that she has a deeper appreciation for them?

6. Explain why Hannah spoke to the commandant when Reuven was caught. Would you have done so knowing the consequences?
