At first Hannah is very self-centered. She disrespects her family's beliefs. She expected to get whatever she wanted. A good example of this would be, "Hoping for a big breakfast, Hannah was disappointed when all Gitl put on the table was a jug of milk, black coffee, and a loaf of dark bread." This is a good example because she continues on getting upset with Gitl. Later she starts to become nice, and caring.
I completely agree with you. She disrespects her family just because she doesn't care for her religion. She learned that that was wrong when she went back and became Chaya.
I agree with you. she isnt respectful to any of her family members. she doenst care about what religion she is she just wants to fit in. she learns that her religion is part of who she is.
I agree with you! The breakfast was a great example of how she is a little selfish and spoiled. Hannah's traits change dramatically through the story from negative to positive. she learns that religion makes a huge impact in her life and affects her greatly.
I agree with you. Her first day at the concentration she was really spoiled and just wanted to survive and wasn't worried about anyone else. She changes dramatically later and takes her own life for someone else's.
Hannah was a conceded person and very disrespectful to her own practices but now she has realized why the Jewish Religion celebrates the past all of the time because there have also been bad times and now she longs for the ‘good times’ back when she wasn’t being tortured by the Nazis. She used to be very impatient with Gitl until noticed that Gitl really tries to do his best for Hannah and himself. When Hannah finally realizes that he has been trying to help her through all of this and apologizes to him and starts to become compassionate and thankful.
I agree with you. Gitl really does try to help Hannah to the best of her ability. Hannah eventually learns about the 'good times' like you stated. *By the way....Gitl is a girl.*
At first Hannah just wants to get back home, but later in the book she realizes that she needs to stay for a while and help the other Jewish people. "(When the Commandant pulled up) Hannah noticed that one of the camp babies was stillcradled in a washtub. Without stopping to ask, she grabbed it up and ran with the child into the middle of the midden. Garbage slipped along her bare legs" ( Yolen, 123). This important because it shoes some of Hannah's new self- confidence she just risked her life to save a baby that she didn't even know. Then she climbed into the garbage pit and the mom didn't even thank her at the beginning because she didn't take of the babies clothes, but Hannah fired back by saying your baby would have died if it weren't for me and the mom finally gave her thanks to Hannah.
I agree with you. Hannah starts to become more aware of her religion. It changes her point of view completely, when she actually knows about being Jewish.
I agree with you! She starts to understand and appreciate her religion. She finally sees the bond and how the jews come together and have each other's back.
Hannah is a very selfish person. she only cares about herself and doesnt care about anyone else. she is disrespectful to all of her family members as well. in the early goings of the book, Hannah was whispering along with her Aunt Eva. Aaron tried to get in on the act but stumbled the words. instead of just letting it go she pinched her brother infront of everyone. he cried out and her father shouted "Hannah!" all she wanted was for her bother to be quiet but she "made him be quiet" in a disrespectful way causeing her to be the center of attention. She needs to learn to be more compassionate towards everyone else.
I believe that Hannah is a very disrespectful person. Because going back all the way to the beginning of the book she never wanted to do anything with her family. In the text it says that she was tired of remembering. I think that if you are a certain religion that you should do your best to practice it. This shows that not only is she disrespectful as a person but she is also disrespectful to her own religion which is ridiculous.
i agree with you 100% Kylan. she was very disrespectful to her parents, and her family. she really hated the fact that she had to go visit her family, even on holidays. she is also very dispespectful to her religion. i feel like she wants to be her friends religion.
Hannah is very selfish and doesnt have sympathy for others. In the begining of the book she doesnt want to spend time with her family, and doesnt care that her grandfather suffered through the hollicost. She is also very disrespectful to her family members. Hannah is talking with her mother and says "I dont want to go I want to be christian like my other friends, im tired of remembering" Hannah is saying that she doesnt like jewish holidays and doesnt want to be with her family.
I agree with you. she isnt kind to her family and expects to get what ever she wants. she is very selfcentered and doesnt realize what her herritage means.
Hannah starts out to be a very selfish person. At the beginning of book Hannah didn't want anything to do with her family or religion. she thought that Christians were the best. She was also very impatient and mean with Gitl. When gitl made hannah breakfast, she was hoping for a big breakfast but instead she got a jug of milk,black coffee and a loaf of dark bread. This shows that she was greedy.
I agree with this completely, Nevian. Hannah was disrespectful towards her family. Later, she realizes the good in her religion and becomes different. She becomes caring and loving.
Hannah is a very selfish person and doesn't appreciate what she has. You notice this in the beginning when she doesn't want to be with her family because she doesn't appreciate them. She is also selfish during parts of the book also. One example of that is, "Hannah was disappointed when all Gitl put on the table was a jug of milk, black coffee, and a loaf of dark bread." She was hoping for a big breakfast at home but she wasn't home and at least she was getting food when she was starving. Hannah is a girl who doesn't care about anyone but herself.
In the book the Devils Arithimetic, Hannah resembles a spoiled Jewish girl who is self-centered and has no knowledge on her religion and doesn't care for many of her family members. I good example of Hannah being all these things is when the text states, "Hannah was disappointed when all Gitl put on the table was a jug of milk, black cofee, and a loaf of dark bread." This showed that Hannah was ungreatful for the food she was supplied with not realizing that she should be greatful that she got that much. I also think Chaya is the alter ego for Hannah. If Hannah never encountered Chaya then I think Hannah would still not be educated on her religion and the past. Chaya was also showed a lot of strength.
i completely agree with you. she is very ungrateful in the beginning of the book. She wouldnt have learned bout her religion then if she hadnt met chaya
I agree with kennedy. She is a very spoiled jewish girl. She said she didnt want to go to passover because she wanted to stay home and celebrate Easter. Also I think Chaya is a alter ego for Hannah
In the book, HAnnah is a mean girl who is self-centered and does not care about her religion or family members. An example of this in the text is, "Hannah was disappointed when all Gitl put on the table was a jug of milk, black coffee, and a loaf of dark bread." This is an example of that Hannah is ungrateful and maybe alittle spoiled.
In the book The Devils Arithemetic, Hannah resembles a very unapprecaitive Jewish girl. One way she does this, is by being embrassed of her religon. SHe does this, because she rather stay home and celebrate easter rather than celebrate passover with her family. This shows she is ungrateful. Next she was "disapointed" when all she got a loaf of bread, milk, and a loaf of bread from Gitl.
