= = __Compare and Contrast Essay__ __The Devil's Arithmetics__ was both a novel and a movie. This story was about a girl named Hannah going through the trouble of the Holocaust. Hannah was a girl who was sick and tired of remembering but she had to because she was going to have to go to he Aunt Evas for a passover seder. While Hannah was at her Aunt Evas she was asked to open the door to Elija. Hannah was transported to a misterious past. After Hannah was transported over she was seing that she was in the house of her cousin Rivka. Hannah had no clue if all of this was true so she was asked to take a nap, Hannah went to a wedding and while she was there she was taken away by the Nazi's and put in boxcars. More toward the middle of this story Hannah was sent to work and be slaved as a bad jew in the concentration camp. Hannah had a hard time keepping her and her cousin Rivka alive beacuse they barely got any sleep or food the food wass a black peice of bread and a watery soup and when they went to sleep they were forced to sleep in a barack with other people she did not know and the baracks were wooden. There were four guys who tried to escape but they were captured and hung the next day. Toward the end of this book Hannah was working and while trying to keep her and Rivka alive she was taken and was killed in a gas chamber. Although she was killed it was good to hear that this was all just a dream.

This story has many simalarities and differences. Some of the simalarities are that Hannah was taken to go to the concentration camp right from the wedding. Another simalaritie is that the novel had the door to Elija and so did the movie and that is the way Hannah transported over in both the novel and the movie. One other way they both are alike is because in the novel hannah wakes up and saw that it was all a dream. In conclustion this story had many of the same things. There were also some differences. Althought there were about and equal amount of both.

These are some simalarities from the novel and the movie. In the novel Hannah was a young girl but in the movie Hannah was a little bit older. Another way that they are different is that Rivka is Hannahs friend in the novel but in the movie Rivka is the cousin and when she is transported in to her house. One more reason is Gitl is one of the charecters in the novel but in the movie Gitl is not a charecter. It was good that the stories were not both the exact same.

In my opinion the novel was better, I think this because the author explained more and they gave more detail on what happpend. My first reason is that there were more people in the novel and that made it alot easier to follow. My second reason is there were more detail such as were Hannah and Rivka hid when the gaurds came. And my third reason is the novel made more sence by explaining every single detail fom the novel. Besides the novel had way more to read about in the story. Th movie was very good but I perfere the novel. In conclusion over all they were both very good stories.
