STOP! READING SELECTION The commandant looked down at the boy.
Have you hurt yourself, my child? he asked, his voice deadly soft.
Hannah moved forward a half-step and Rivka jerked her back. Let me
see, Breuer said. He took out a white handkerchief out of his
pocket and touched it to Reuvens bloody knee thoughtfully. And
where is your mother? When Reuven didnt answer, Hannah stepped
forward. Please, sir, his mother is dead. Rivka gasped. Hannah
heard her and added hastily, She died years ago, when he was born.
The commandant stood up and stared at her, his eyes gray and
unreasonable. Are you his sister? She shook her head dumbly, afraid
to say more. That is good. For you. Breuer bent down and wrapped
the handkerchief around the boys knee, knotting it gently with
firm, practiced hands. Then he picked Reuven up. A boy your age
should be with his mother, he said, smiling. So I shall be sure you
go to her. He handed Reuven to his driver, who was waiting by the
door. The next several questions refer to this reading. Read this
now before proceeding.

he picked Reuven up. A boy your age should be with his mother, he
said, smiling. So I shall be sure you go to her. He handed Reuven
to his driver, who was waiting by the door. 12) The commandants
voice is described as deadly soft. The author probably chooses this
ominous description to a. show the commandant is soft-hearted. b.
foreshadow a negative event. c. portray the commandant as a busy
man. d. all of the above. Inference clues What do you know about
the commandant? What does the commandant do when he comes to the
camp? How could we describe Rivkas and Hannahs emotions in this
moment? Is the commandant a soft-hearted person? Does a soft voice
imply someone is a busy person? What ultimately happens to
Reuven?
Slide 17
In this context, was it brave for Hannah to speak up and
explain Reuvens situation? In this context, is it safe to say
Hannah is not afraid of Commandant Breuer? Is Hannah willingly
giving up her life here? Are there clues in this reading showing
Rivka wants Hannah to speak up? The commandant looked down at the
boy. Have you hurt yourself, my child? he asked, his voice deadly
soft. (#12) Hannah moved forward a half-step and Rivka jerked her
back. Let me see, Breuer said. He took out a white handkerchief out
of his pocket and touched it to Reuvens bloody knee thoughtfully.
And where is your mother? When Reuven didnt answer, Hannah stepped
forward. Please, sir, his mother is dead. Rivka gasped. Hannah
heard her and added hastily, She died years ago, when he was born.
The commandant stood up and stared at her, his eyes gray and
unreasonable. Are you his sister? She shook her head dumbly, (#14)
afraid to say more. That is good. For you. Breuer bent down and

by the door. 13) By stepping forward to address the commandant,
Hannah is a. showing her bravery speaking for Reuven. b. showing
that she is not afraid. c. willingly giving up her life. d. doing
what Rivka told her to do.

to his driver, who was waiting by the door. 14) Based on the
context, dumbly probably means a. with a lack of intelligence. b.
temporarily unable or unwilling to speak. c. confident. d. planning
her next move. Has the author characterized Hannah as unintelligent
in this novel? Could Hannah have been so nervous in this moment
that she was unable or unwilling to speak this this intimidating
man? What does the text tell us immediately after the word is used?
Is is possible that Hannah feels confident about her fate when
speaking up to a Nazi commandant known for making selections to the
gas chambers? Is Hannah calm enough to be planning her next
move?
Slide 19
Inference clues The narrator says he, knotted it gently.
Nervous hands would not be firm. Does practice make someone
confident and sure, or does it make someone evil? The commandant
looked down at the boy. Have you hurt yourself, my child? he asked,
his voice deadly soft. Hannah moved forward a half-step and Rivka
jerked her back. Let me see, Breuer said. He took out a white
handkerchief out of his pocket and touched it to Reuvens bloody
knee thoughtfully. And where is your mother? When Reuven didnt
answer, Hannah stepped forward. Please, sir, his mother is dead.
Rivka gasped. Hannah heard her and added hastily, She died years

was waiting by the door. 15) Based on the context, practiced
probably means a. the commandant is intentionally wrapping the
handkerchief too tight. b. nervous. c. with evil. d. confident and
sure.
Slide 20

deaths of many people. 2)The author describes Breuers voice as
deadly soft and his eyes gray and unreasonable. 3)After being told
Reuvens mother is dead, Breuer tells Reuven a boy his age should be
with his mother. 4)He hands Reuven to his driver instead of letting
him join the others. The commandant looked down at the boy. Have
you hurt yourself, my child? he asked, his voice deadly soft.

Later that afternoon, the cauldrons all set for cooking, Hannah
walked with Rivka and Shifre to the water pump. Esther was there
already, filling a bucket in slow motion for the women in the
sewing shop. She had lost a lot of weight, and the dress hung in
loose folds on her frail body. Her eyes were dead. Suddenly, with
great clarity, she saw another scene superimposed upon it: two
laughing girls at a water fountain dressed in bright blue pants and
cotton sweaters. They were splashing water on each other. A bell
rang to call them to class. Hannah blinked, but the image held.
Drawing a deep breath, she forced herself to bring the camp back
into focus; it was like turning a camera lens. One way she could
see the water fountain, the other way the pump. Her heart was
thudding under the thin gray dress. She was afraid to move. And
then suddenly she made up her mind. STOP! READING SELECTION The

Fayge, Gitl said, This is my niece, Chaya. Hannah wondered how,
with all the noise and the excitement, Fayge even heard Gitls
introduction. But she looked down from the wagon, those eagle eyes
staring. Then she smiled, not at all fiercely, but even shyly. The
Lubliner. Come, you must be exhausted, walking all this way after
having been so sick. Shmuel would never forgive me if I did not let
you ride. And what a pretty dress. You put us all to shame. She
leaned down and offered her hand. I will not say I told you so,
Gitl whispered into Hannahs ear, but I did. As if in a dream,
Hannah reached up for Fayges hand. She expected a princesss hand,
small, fine-boned, soft. But Fayges hand was large and strong, with
calluses in the palm. When she was up by Fayges side, she could
smell a scent on her hair and dress, like roses and wood shavings
after a long rain. Now, Fayge said, turning toward her and smiling
broadly. Tell me all about Lublin. The brides wagon was turned
around at last, and the procession started up again. This time the
klezmer was behind, far back at the end of the line of villagers.
Hannahs new friends danced by the wagons side, hands joined
singing: Who asked you to get married? Who asked you to be buried
alive? You know that no one forced you, You took this madness on
yourself. I always hated the Sherele, Fayge said. Such a gloomy
song for so glorious an event. Whats the Sherele? Hannah asked. The
wedding dance your friends are doing. You do not play such games in
Lublin? Perhaps you are smarter than we. Hannah looked down at the
girls. Some younger girls had joined them, and the line was
twisting and turning to the rhythm of the song. New Rochelle, she
murmured, though this time it was more a prayer than a statement.

CONTINUTED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Fayge didnt seem to hear. Oh,
Chaya, never mind the Sherele. We will sing and dance other things
all night long. The grandmothers will dance the Bobbe Tantswell,
Shmuels grandmother is gone, may she rest in peace. But Gitl can
dance with my grandmother. You should see my grandmother, so light
and quick. And you, too, Chaya, you will dance. Oh, only if you are
feeling well enough. We will have great fun. You will see. She
patted Hannahs hand. The wagon bumped along the road, swaying from
side to side. Hannah wished she could get down and looked longingly
at the ground. What is it, Chayaleh? Fayge asked. Is it much
longer? Around one more big bend and we will be there. At my
village. At Viosk. Would you believe it? My village for but a few
more hours and then my village no more. And would you guess that as
excited as I am about marrying my beloved Shmuel, a part of me is
also afraid? Hannah laughed out loud. Shmuel said the same thing
this morning. Did he? Did he? Fayges eyes lit up and suddenly she
looked very young, not that much older than Hannah. Tell me exactly
what he said. Hannah closed her eyes, trying to remember. He saidhe
said Yes? He said he wasnt afraid of being married, only of getting
married. Reb Boruch cleared his throat loudly. Oh, Chaya, Fayge
said, ignoring her father, thank you for telling me that. She gave
Hannah a hug. We are going to be such good friends, you and I. Best
friends. Life will be good to us forever and ever. I know.

The wagon bumped along the road, swaying from side to side.
Hannah wished she could get down and looked longingly at the
ground. 32) Which selection indicates third person point-of-view?
a. swaying from side to side b. Hannah wished she could get down c.
looked d. longingly at the ground. The Outsiders is written from a
first person point-of-view. The Devils Arithmetic is written from a
third persons point-of-view. Can you see the difference? The
Outsiders I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman--he looks tough
and I don't--but I guess my own looks aren't so bad. I have
light-brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes. I wish they
were more gray, because I hate most guys that have green eyes, but
I have to be content with what I have. My hair is longer than a lot
of boys wear theirs, squared off in back and long at the front and
sides, but I am a greaser and most of my neighborhood rarely
bothers to get a haircut. Besides, I look better with long hair. I
had a long walk home and no company, but I usually lone it anyway,
for no reason except that I like to watch movies undisturbed so I
can get into them and live them with the actors. When I see a movie
with someone it's kind of uncomfortable... I'm different that way.
The Devils Arithmetic Hannah watched silently, trying to take it
all in. How could she be both Hannah and Chaya whose parents had
died of a mysterious disease? She knew she was Hannah. She knew
because she remembered. She remembered her mother and her father
and her brother Aaron with his big blue eyes and great smile. She
remembered her house with the junglegym in the back yard and the
seventeen stuffed dogs on her bed. She remembered her best friend
Rosemary, whod had braces the year before she did and had showed
her how to eat jelly beans with them on, even though you werent
supposed to. She remembered her school in New Rochelle. As she
remembered, she forgot to be a good sport and her eyes began to
fill with tears.

Liberation from The United States Holocaust Memorial Center
Soviet soldiers were the first to liberate concentration camp
prisoners in the final stages of the war. On July 23, 1944, they
entered the Majdanek camp in Poland, and later overran several
other killing centers. On January 27, 1945, they entered Auschwitz
and there found hundreds of sick and exhausted prisoners. The
Germans had been forced to leave these prisoners behind in their
hasty retreat from the camp. British, Canadian, American, and
French troops also freed prisoners from the camps. Although the
Germans attempted to empty the camps of surviving prisoners and
hide all evidence of their crimes, the Allied soldiers came upon
thousands of dead bodies "stacked up like cordwood," according to
one American soldier. The prisoners who were still alive were
living skeletons. Bill Barrett, an American army journalist,
described what he saw at Dachau: "There were about a dozen bodies
in the dirty boxcar, men and women alike. They had gone without
food so long that their dead wrists were broomsticks tipped with
claws. These were the victims of a deliberate starvation diet...
Allied troops, physicians, and relief workers tried to provide
nourishment for the surviving prisoners, but many of them were too
weak to digest food and could not be saved. In spite of the
liberators' efforts, many camp survivors died. Half of the
prisoners discovered alive in Auschwitz died within a few days of
being freed. Survivors had mixed reactions to their newfound
freedom. While a few looked forward to being reunited with other
family members, some felt guilty for surviving when so many of
their relatives and friends had died. Some felt overwhelmed, as one
survivor, Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist, expressed: "Timidly, we
looked around and glanced at each other questioningly. Then we
ventured a few steps out of the camp. This time no orders were
shouted at us, nor was there any need to duck quickly to avoid a
blow or a kick. 'Freedom,' we repeated to ourselves, and yet we
could not grasp it." STOP! READING SELECTION The next several

Character Analysis In Chapter 5, Yitzchak the butcher arrives
to the house with wedding gifts and an offer of help. Shmuel tells
Yitzchak that Hannah and Gitl would not be sleeping in the house
that night because it would not be appropriate. Gitls reaction
shows us she is conservative. Gitl immediately pus her hand on
Shmuels shoulder and tries to quiet him down. Hannah suggests she
understands exactly what Shmuel is implying. This causes Yitzchak
to laugh, but Gitl responds, `a young lady is what she is not if
she knows of such things 45 ( ) Hannah comes from a time where
information is not so strictly held from children. She even
comments that she learned about it all from watching television.
Yet, for Gitl, it is unacceptable for a young lady to know about
such things, and even more unacceptable to speak out loud about
them. Gitl was raised in a strict, tradition environment, and her
reaction toward Hannah reflects those standards. That is why I said
Gitl is conservative. STOP! READING SELECTION The next several
