Remake of Blog 2/ Lit Circle Book

    This book I am reading is called "The Devil's Arithmetic", and the book is about a girl named Hannah Dreads. In this story Hannah is going to her family's Passover Seder. A Passover Seder is a Jewish Ritual Feast. And some of the people like telling the same stories every time they meet. But when she opened the front door to welcome the Prophet Elijah.she got  transported back to a polish village. In the book you can name her as a confused character because in the book she acts confused. Also as the story goes on she begins reading stories to the little kids she tells story after story. She kind of felt popular for that moment. The Books were "Yentl, Conan, The Barbarian with equal vigor, Star wars."

    Me as a reader I think it is a confusing book because at times you don't what the grandpa is saying because he is speaking Yidish. To me I don't like how they have to put the concentration camps to the little kids because its not fair to them that they have to live the life that their parents live. If I was in their position I break down everyday. No kids should go through that any day. It feels like they are being torchured everyday just for being a human.


    The genre of this story it is historical fiction. What I like about this book is that Hannah sterns family is still connected. What I mean is that her family stays in touch with each other families fall apart. The thing about this book that I don't like about this book is that they don't care who they put in the concentration camp they throw in little kids and even probably babies at the age of 1 or even 3. I have read this genre before in classes of Social Studies. Other things that I dislike about this book was little kids not that younger than me were dying. It was this one character named Esther and Hannah treated her it was funny because she tried to lie to hannah because she thought she could get away with it.
