In the novel Hannah is younger, about 12 years old, and in the movie Hannah is almost old enough to drive a car.

I liked the novel better because the movie was very tragic and sad and I don't like sad things. Also the book was easier for me to understand and picture in my own way. My favorite part of the story was when Hannah left the blokova's shoes outside and the blokova got onto trouble for it. My least favorite part of the story was when Shmuel, Fayge, and a few other people were killed because I really liked those characters and they always helped others in very nice ways. In conclusion the novel and the movie The Devil's Arithmetic are quite different, yet they are very alike.
