=PARAGRAPH 1= "The Devil's Arithmetic" is a novel, which was later made into a movie. "The Devil's Arithmetic" is a story about the Holocaust. During the beginning of both the novel and the movie there was a girl, her name was Hannah, Hannah was unfaithful of her Jewish background. While having a traditional Seder with her family she was asked to open the door for Elijah, when opening the door she found herself in the time of the Holocaust. She then realized that her Jewish background was a hard, and painful one. By the end of the story she was back with her family. Both the novel and the movie have things in common.

=PARAGRAPH 2= The movie and the novel were very much alike. While trying to escape a guard caught them. During the wedding when the Nazi came Hannah had said that the Nazi were going to kill them, but no one believed her. In the novel they got their numbers. But, in the movie they got taken during the wedding after saying "I do". The novel when trying to escape they were shot. On the other hand in the movie after they were given their numbers their hair was shorn. Also, they were also taking during the wedding but before saying, "I do". After trying to escape in the movie they were hung. However, even though there are many similarities, but there are also many differences.

=PARAGRAPH 3= Even thought the movie and the novel were very much alike they were also very different. For instance no one gives birth in the Concentration Camp. In the movie a lady does give birth to a little baby girl. Also the Rabbi was the only one killed in his family. During the movie the Rabbi was the only one in his family not to be killed. When they tried to escape in the novel they were shot. While trying to escape in the movie they were hung. Chaya also tried to escape with the men and Gitl in the novel.

=PARAGRAPH 4=

After watching the movie and reading the novel I can say that I liked the movie better. I think the movie was better because I could see what was actually happening. Also the way the movie followed the novel. My favorite part of the movie was how I could actually see what was happening. I liked this because it made it easier to follow what was actually happening. The one thing I didn't like was how when Chaya was first in the past she met Rivka right away. This did not impress me because I thought that Rivka acted as Chaya's guide to survive in the Concentration Camp. Some people like historical fiction; if you are one of these people I would recommend both the movie and the novel. In other words both the movie and the novel were terrific.
