The Devil's Arithmetic By: Jane Yolen

     Hannah is a young girl around our age. She has taken her families experiences for  granted and hasn't really learned from them. When she is sucked into an experience that shows her the actual things that her grandparents have gone through, she slowly starts regretting her feelings of resentment of having to hear her grandparents stories.She's been worked to the bone and has been belittled so many times. Slowly throughout the book her memory fades and the worst thing is that she doesn't know if she will remember her past. After, that experience is over she knows what it's like to be humiliated and bullied in more than one way.
  In the beginning of the book, she explains how when she was a child she thought that the tattoo on her grandfather's arm was really cool , but she didn't know what it meant. When she attempted to create the same tattoo on her forearm and showed it to her grandfather, he exploded. Later in the book, she had an Aha- Moment , when she got one of her own tattoo's she realized what each number stood for.
