The Devil's Arithmetic starts out with Hannah the main character at her relatives house to celebrate a Jewish holiday. She did not care about the holiday or her culture so she got sent back in time to Poland during the holocaust. She has to live as a Jewish girl during that time. Not long after she arrives Nazis arrive to her village and abducted everyone in it. They take everyone in the village and put them in trucks like farm animals and take them all to a train station. Then they took everyone's valuables and loaded them onto trains]]> 2017-02-16 13:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154290779 akpunonn https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154308857 As the they were having the wedding, soldiers came. They made everyone lie on the ground while they took their jewelry. After they took them into a boxcar and drove them somewhere. Then were split into men and women, had to undress. They showered and got all of their hair cut off. My reaction of this chapter was surprised when they cut the girls hair. They did that so they don't get lice. Another thing that surprised me is that they got a prisoner to cut their hair. I wonder why they didn't get a Nazi or a actual barber to cut their hair. ]]> 2017-02-16 14:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154308857 https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154309530 2017-02-16 14:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154309530 kerna1 https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154309631 (Book Summary) 
After meeting new friends at the Shmuel's wedding Hannah finally made the venture to the wedding location. When they arrived there Nazi soldiers were waiting for them .They forced them into relocation. After finally agreeing to do the relocation, they made the journey through a boxcar that was feces infested and disgusting. When they finally made it to there encampment they were forced to give up there valuables and were forced into the showers where they would be cleaned and then shaved of all hair. I honestly when reading this was shocked. I never thought that happened even though I knew the cruelty that was inflicted upon people in that time period. I think that never should have happen and what they did is awful. I'm curious to see what other awful things happen to Hannah]]> 2017-02-16 14:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154309631 dejesusk https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154343413  Everyone is put in a train car and is taken to a camp.

In The Devil's Arithmetic Hannah and the other Jewish prisoners in the box car for 4 days and 4 nights. In the process they had to rest stops and people keep dying. When they finally stop and get out they are forced in to a building. In the building a non Jew prisoner is in a dress and tells them to learn the word Schnell. Schnell means fast. In the building they have to strip down in front of each other to take a shower. Two Nazi guards move them into the showers the women cover themselves with there arms and hair. My reaction to all of this is that it is weird. Trains are fast the fact that it took 4 days and 4 nights is very astonishing. When in the building I would think that since they have to take off there cloths in front of each other that the women and children were together and the men men and boys would be together. After the shower they were shaved bald what is that got to do with anything. When getting there tattoos on there arms the guard talks to Hannah calmly and tells her that her daughters name is Chya too. When getting the tattoo she forces herself not to cry in front of the kids and does not worry about the pain of the needles. ]]> 2017-02-16 15:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154350777 claya1 https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154350837 Hannah is at Shmuel and Fayge's wedding when Nazi soldiers came in on a rampage and forced the villagers into trucks. From the trucks, the villagers and Hannah rode to a train station out in Russia. They were then loaded into boxcars with barely enough room for everyone. Only two stops were made throughout four days of travel. Many people died because they could not handle the compacted area. They arrived at their final destination in a concentration camp. This where Hannah and the others undressed, showered, shaved their heads, and got a tattoo. The tattoo marked them as prisoners. I personally feel horrible for the way they were treated. I had an eerie feeling inside when they were all shoved into the boxcar with nothing to eat and no where to use the restroom. This feeling frightened me for what would happen to them next at the camp. I'm also curious to see what will happen next, though.]]> 2017-02-16 15:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/154350837 https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155150102 https://coggle.it/diagram/WKxErPXtdQABSYdM ]]> 2017-02-21 14:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155150102 https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155155311 https://coggle.it/diagram/WKxETDfUJAABhZEs]]> 2017-02-21 14:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155155311 akpunonn https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155450888 https://coggle.it/diagram/WKw9oPXtdQABSVSQ]]> 2017-02-22 14:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155450888 akpunonn https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155451205 Page 138
Told from a third person (or Hannah's point of view)
"Commandant!"
"But he was just through yesterday." Hannah said in a nervous whisper. "He's not due for at least another few days."
Ignoring her, Rivka already had her hands to her mouth, making the clucking sound to warn the children. Shifre, too, was signaling.
"It's not fair!" Hannah complained, her voice rising into a whine.
Shifre nudged her angrily, and Hannah began to cluck as the little ones scrambled for the middle pile.
Shifre's point of view
"Commandant!"
Shifre was surprised that they were having yet another one, but did not complain about it.
"But he was just through yesterday." Shifre heard Hannah whine and wanted to tell her to stop. Rivka just ignored her and had her hands to her mouth to warn the children. Shifre did the same as if we did not have one a few days ago.
"It's not fair!" Hannah whined. Shifre had enough so nudge her and made sure she can tell that she is angry at her.

This is told from a third person perspective (Hannah's point of view)
But Shmuel was silent, searching through the watching crowd, that same strange smile on his face. At last his lips moved and Hannah read the word there.
"Fayge."
"Shmuel!" came a loud wail, and Fayge pushed through the crowd, flinging herself at his feet. She lifted her face to his and smiled. "The sky is our canopy. God's canopy. The sky."
He bent down and kissed the top of her head as the guns roared, a loud volley that drowned out birdsong and wind and screams."]]> 2017-02-23 15:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155788255 akpunonn https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155791092 One text-text in the The Devil's Arithmetic, is when Hannah entered the past. It reminds me of the book called The School for Good and Evil, when Agatha and Sophie entered the world where fairy tales happens. It also reminds me when Gitl was telling stories and when Hestor was telling Agatha about what Sophie's symptoms means. One text-world is when Hannah was at a camp with other Jews. This relates to the real world when Jews were taken away from home and taken to concentration camp. Another one is when Hannah thought she was going to die by them spraying gas, but actually sprayed water. This relates to the real world, when prisoner were taken to another camps and were led to room with sprays, thinking they were going to die. ]]> 2017-02-23 15:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/155791092 kerna1 https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/156578565 (Coggle)

Both books have the Main Character in a concentration camp for one reason or another. and they go through the processes of being in one.

One example of Text to Text in the Devil's Arithmetic is when Hannah opens the door and finds herself into a another world and it reminds me of the book The City of Heavenly Fire  where Clary went into a different past where everything was different including who she was.
Text to world - 
When Hannah was sent to be killed in smoke stack it reminded me of when the Euthanasia program gassed and then burned people in real life. ]]> 2017-02-28 14:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/156729651 https://padlet.com/lbryson/4qjdthqw777h/wish/156761191 An example of Text-to-World in the Devil's Arithmetic is when Shmuel is shot to death. This is because back in the 1930's-40's, this happened in Germany and 2 million Jews, along with others were killed in the concentration camps/death camps. Shmuel represents one of the ways the people in the concentration camps were killed.
An example of Text-to-Text is when Hannah is taken into the cars to report to the concentration camp. Prisoner B-3087 had a character who went through the same situation and was shoved into the train cars to report to a concentration camp.
