When Hannah was with her family at the Seder dinner, she got to open the door for the prophet, Elijah. When she opens the door she gets transported back through time and meets Shmuel and Gitl.

In the book, The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen, at the extremity of chapter 11, Hannah starts to have memory loss. I expect that it's exceptional for Hannah to know what is happening because she can know what will happen next, she knows important events of history, and lastly, she can support herself and her friends. With these factors. It's showing why knowing her what is happening is crucial. By having her memory, it will avail her survival in the camps. One reason I think that is important for Hannah to know what is happening so she will know important events of history. According to page 93, it says, “Hannah stood slowly, thinking: I will be brave, I'm the only one who knows about the oven, but I will be brave. What this is showing is

The holocaust was a terrible period of punishment and abuse for many who were discriminated against, especially the jews. One of these jews was Elie Wiesel. He is the author of the book Night a autobiography on his life as a Jew in the Holocaust. Throughout the book Elie displayed many traits. Elie’s traits include loyalty, determination, and religiousness. The characterization of Elie the protagonist and the other characters plays a role in creating and supporting a theme in the novel Night. From reading the novel we can tell that Elie Wiesel's night shows that the holocaust was a very difficult time for jews and that it made them lose faith in god.

The Holocaust was one of the world’s major tragedies. If you were a Jew the Nazis would take you to concentration camp and you would have to do everything they said, you would get your head shaved, and be treated awful. Millions died. They would choose Jews to take to the gas chamber, usually the weakest and most unhealthy ones because they weren’t much good to work anymore. “Yolen, Jane. The Devil's Arithmetic.

For many educated people learning about the Holocaust can send them feelings of sorrow or deep remource. Not only for the meaning of the word, but why it is called that. The pure evil of the final solution created thought of and created by none other than Adolf Hitler will never stop haunting people more than half a decade later. One of the prominat things that everyone missed in his highly sold auto-biography "My struggle". The thought of solid hatrid found within the cover of the horiable book will always burn in the souls that it harmed from the day it began till the dawn of today.

The devil's arithmetic book by Jane Yolen and the movie by Dustin Hoffman are very similar to each other. They both tell the story of a young girl who is transported through time to the 1940’s to learn what it’s like to live through the era of the holocaust after she ignores her family heritage. She then dies in that time at the hands of the Nazis and learns why she must remember and tell the future generation about the holocaust. These stories are the same but told in different ways and in different forms.

     The world that people lived in during the Holocaust is described by the personal experiences of the oppressed throughout the story Jack and Rochelle, written by Jack and Rochelle Sutin, and the memoir by Alexander Donat titled The Holocaust Kingdom. The horrifying mindset of the oppressors, particularly the Nazi`s, is illustrated in both books. The vicious and relentless emotional, physical, and psychological abuse the Nazi`s targeted at their victims is depicted in detail. The unspeakable cruelty received by the Jews dramatically altered their state of mind and how they lived their lives. The emotions of despair, distress, depression, hopelessness, helplessness felt by the Jews

The Holocaust was a huge event in history. The book The Devil’s Arithmetic shows this by having a young girl travel back in time and experience what the holocaust was like first hand. She is able to see her Grandpa Will and how he was affected by the holocaust and survived the concentration camps. It states in the book “Hannah could scarcely remember Grandpa Will didn’t have these strange fits, shaving off the tattoo on his left arm” (Yolen 9). This shows that these characters help the reader understand the pain and misery that the Jews went through. They also show their emotions and how much they suffered. This helped Hannah understand how amazing her life was compared to the lives of many other people. The author Jane Yolen also used a moment to wash away Hannah memories. When Hannah and others first got to the camp, they showered and

Guilt is defined as an emotion of regret or accountability for some offense, which drives a person to make amends in some way. Shame is defined as a painful emotion arising from the consciousness of committing something immoral. The Reader, by Bernhard Schlink, is a novel that is filled with various examples of guilt and shame. Guilt is especially important because the symbolic meaning of the story contains illustrations of both collective and personal guilt. This emphasis on guilt begs the question: “How can the novel, The Reader, be seen as a study in collective and personal guilt?” The Reader can be seen as a study in collective and personal guilt because it shows how Hanna and Michael represent the guilt of Germans communally and individually.

Perhaps, in one or the other, we all have experiences that we have gone through and they completely altered our lives. Evidently, we all have some unforgettable experiences, with some having the best and others have the worst kind of experiences. History is documented through the narration of testimonies by the victims of the experiences. Over the years, there is a lot that has happened in the world and all the occasions, there were people who were left to tell the stories. The holocaust is one of the worst events in the world that people had to endure; millions of people were killed in cold blood but there were survivors who lived to tell the story. Through their testimonies, we all get to know and connect with their experiences.

Karl Schleunes published his book titled The Twisted Road to Auschwitz in 1970. The title of the book has a symbolic meaning that pertains to the Holocaust. The Holocaust, taking place between 1933 and 1945, was characterized by the death of millions of European Jews in the hands of Nazi Germany led by Adolf Hitler and nations that collaborated with the Nazis (Dwork & Pelt 2). After crumpling of the Nazi regime, historians began to examine and come up with constructs leading up to the Holocaust. From the mid-1960s to the 1980s, historians established two metanarrative schools of thought emerged explaining the period and circumstances leading up to the Holocaust. These schools of were labeled ‘Intentionalists’ and ‘Functionalists.’ These schools present

In the story “The Fall of the House of Usher”, Edgar Allen Poe describes an eerie house which reflects the characteristics and the fate of the owner living inside. As the story begins, the reader is introduced to a house that is slowly decaying away and falling apart. The narrator describes his feelings as he first sees the house and says, “A sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. I say insufferable; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable”(1).This observation of the house mirrors the narrator’s observation of Roderick. Roderick’s gloomy nature manifests itself in his action that the narrator describes as “Alternately vivacious and sullen”(1).

There is a combination of factors on why Ernest Hemingway is so important to American Literature. First, his writing style was different from what was going on in literature at the time. He was more journalistic, Minimalist, direct, and to the point. Second, think about the time when he started writing right after World War I. IMO, WWI was a breaking point in US and European culture. It was the end of an era of relative opulence, and a sudden, harsh thrust into the realities of the modern world and that was reflected in Hemingway's subject matter and writing style. Therefore his writing had resonance with his readers.

“Always Like a Girl” is used as an insult in our society, starting around the age of 10, and follows into a woman’s adult life. The brand Always takes this misused phrase and reinvents it into something girls can own and be proud of. This advertisement effectively empowers young girls and women along with promoting the brand Always in a positive light. In this video, people are asked to “throw like a girl” or “fight like a girl” and this is intentionally acted out through demeaning actions. For example, the adult women would throw their arms around ineffectively which is significant.
