Let's say I answered an open ended question about the THEME of The Devil's Arithmetic. I said the theme was "hope" because no matter what happened, the main characters always had hope and believed things would get better. Which piece of evidence could I use to support my theme?

• "That we will survive. The Jews. That what happens here must never happen again..."

• "My mother said, before she died that it is much harder to live this way than to go out shooting. Chaya, you are a hero. I am a hero. We are all heroes here..."

• "That may be camp talk out there, but in here, we say the prayer for the dead properly, like good Jews..."

• "And the 2 because that is all that are left now, me and Wolfe, who believes himself to be a 0. But I love him no matter he is forced to do. And when we are free and this is over, we will be 2 again. God will allow it..."
