The Hannah don't want to go the family celebration but was forced to go anyway. The theme of the book is to remember things that you are suppose to know, like the passover where Hannah is suppose to remember when its coming up and to get ready when the family gets together. If you don't remember certain things then you'll forget the things that you suppose to know.
