PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Authors perspective:
I am reading the Devils Arithmetic by Jane Yolen. I think my authors perspective on World War Two is that it was horrible, I think that because in the book she is really scared. She is also very mad. The way the nazis treated her was not good, and she got mad because she saw how the nazis treated other people (horrible) and that ticked her off! She called the nazis "monsters". I think Jane Yolen wrote this book because she wanted to write about the struggles that the Jewish people had to overcome and fight through to stay alive during the war. Jane interpreted what happened and wrote out the feelings that a real person may have had when at one of the concentration camps.

Mood: The mood of this book is Angry and suspenseful. The reason I chose angry is because when reading, the things the nazis did to the Jewish people made me angry. The reason I chose suspenseful is because you never knew in the book whether the person was going to die or how they were going to die. Or you never knew if they were going to escape.

The tone of this book is scared and worried. The tone of the
book would be scared because each day Chaya and everyone else at the concentration camp are scared that they may be "chosen". Being "chosen" meant that you were sent to the gas chambers. The tone is also worried because those same people are worried that one of their family members or friends could be killed at any second.

Figurative language:
There were finally so many villagers packed into each truck, there was no room to sit down. So they stood, the children up on the men's shoulders. They looked like holidayers off on a trip. But they felt to Hannah, all crushed together, like cattle going to be slaughtered for the market. This is a simile. What the simile means is that Hannah felt crowded in the trucks.
Another simile is " shivering and jerking like a fish out of water ". This means that they were cold and scared at the concentration camps.
