The Devil's Arithmetic

What is the lesson Hannah learns from being transported in time? How do you think she will behave around her family from now on?

  1. I think the lesson that Hannah learns is that she cant take her heritage and the things about her family are important and not boring. I think she will behave better around her family and actually realize that her family isnt boring.

  2. The lesson that Hannah learns from being transported in time is that you should always remember and value your past and the past of others.Also that you should always value your life and the life of others. Around her family, I think Hannah will start acting more susceptible to all the holiday parties. Also think she will start appreciating all of the time remembering the past of her family. I think Hannah will be more appreciate that of the family that she has, that survived through the holocaust, are still alive and willing to share their stories with her.

  3. 1. Hannah learns that when you learn something in school is doesn’t really have an effect as if you were apart of it. Like, when she was telling people in the shul that the people in the jeeps were there to capture them and take them to the Concentration camps to make them work and then soon die. She also learns that when some of her surviving family members from the holocaust have an emotional impact on the holocaust than others. Like, Hannah’s Aunt Eva, when she saw Hannah staring at her number on her wrist and then Hannah recited the memorized version of Aunt Eva’s number and she broke out in tears because of the thoughts she was probably thinking of.

    2. I think Hannah will behave a lot more respectful to her family members because of what she went through and what she saw people go through at the camps and how they were treated in real life.

  4. I think the lesson Hannah learns from being transported in time is that there is more to things than meets the eye. In this case it was the tradition that Hannah took for granted but after she was transported in time and endured what her elders did she came to an extremely thorough realization that this ceremony not only represented the passover and their religion, but it also represented what the jewish people, including her elders, had to go through in order to be able to practice it. So I think Hannah now realizes the significance of her relegion and will respect it and her family like a good practicing jewish person.

  5. she now realizes why the family is always remembering because all those terrible things happened. And they have to remember those lessons they learned.she will no longer question the way they always remember. and will listen more closely so she can learn those lessons too.
