=PARAGRAPH 1= __The Devil's Arithmetic__ is a novel and a movie about the holocaust and the horrible sights and things that happened there. At the beginning a girl named Hannah goes to a jewish seder where she is transported back to the time of the holocaust where she is confused and frightened and the people are treated like animals. Then she is thrown in a concentration camp with a family that she does not knowand quikly had to learn the rules of the camp to be able survive. Then once she gets killed she is transported back to the presen. This was a great story that should definitly be seen or read. =PARAGRAPH 2= These two stories are both follow the same plot line but they are very different and both of them are exciting to watch and read. Some examples are in the beginning of the book Hannah has to go to Seder with her little brother and her mother and then open the door for Elijah the prophet. After that she is transported back in time and has an aunt named Gitl. Then at a wedding they get thrown into big boxcars and violently gets put into the terrible concentration camps. In the movie Hannah is forced to go to a Seder and to open the door to Elijah. Once she does she gets transported back in time to a little village where she has an aunt named Gitl that she doesn't know. After that she goes to a wedding and gets thrown into a truck and driven to a concentration camp while she and everybody else are ravenous for food. These are some of the similarities but there are many other differences.

=PARAGRAPH 3= There were a lot of differences in these two stories so the are ones that are mentioned are only a few of the many. In the novel Hannah is pretty young and has a litlle brother named Aaron. She also is very nice to everybody and is not rude at all. Then when she gets transported back in time she meets Rivka in the concentration camp with her two friend Esther and Shifre and and one who died Rachel. In the movie Hannah is older and has no siblings. In the movie she is very rude to her parents and disrespectful to her other family. Finally she has no friends except Rivka who is her cousin.

=PARAGRAPH 4= I enjoyed the movie more than the book. I thought this because I could understand the struggle and hardship of the people in the holocaust in the movie. Also I could visualize and undrestand the movie better than then book. Finaly I liked watching instead of reading. I especialy enjoyed when Hannah had to learn how to survive but I didn't like the ending of the book for two reasons one because the story was over and I didn't want it to be and two I thought it was a boring ending when Hannah realized what happened. Anybody who likes a good story or wants to read a good book should get this story, and even though they have many differences both the movie and the novel were astonishing.
