The Devil's Arithmetic Summary

So far in my book the main character is Hannah.  She is a Jew. Her whole family is celebrating passover. Which is a type of tradition that involves a lot of food and prayers. Hannah hates all this celebration stuff. She has a brother named Aron. When celebration your suppose to drink some wine. Hannah has a little to much fun and gets dizzy. Then her grandpa tells her to open the door for Elijah. Which is a tradition they also do. When she opens the door there is no one there. Then she starts dreaming with all that wine. She goes in almost another dimension into a Polish Village. The years turn into 1942. Everyone calls here "Chaya".there. She doesn't know what it means.  Soon the Nazis take her and all the villagers away. Only Hannah knows what awaits.

One sign post that I found in my book was Again & Again. People kept saying Chaya to Hannah. I believe it has a meaning to it. I believe it means life and beauty. I think they keep calling her that because she has a meaning to be there in the Holocaust. She knows what happen in the past now she is going to help the people escape from the camps and help them survive.

  2. Victor, what signpost is this? I don't understand. You need to tell what signpost you've found, and then also explain what you think it says about the story as a whole. See me so we can go over this more together. Thanks!
