= = =PARAGRAPH 4= Out of the both the movie and the book, I personally think that the book was more interesting than the movie. The book made you feel like you were there experiencing it. The book also changed my way of thinking of the Holocaust. My final reason is they make the reader ask questions and just think of how horrible it really was. My favorite part of the novel, The Devil's Arithmetic, was when the Jews just got there off the buses. This part stood out to me very much because they way the Nazis were screaming, the way they treated them, and how they were just so mean and cruel. It just made the reader feel like it would be very hard to be there and you have to learn to follow all the rules. My least favorite part of the novel was when they couldn't eat anything and they can only eat at certain times. I think that eating and being healthy is a serious thing and I don't like when people can't eat what they need to. I would defiantly recommend this book to any reader. If you don’t know a lot about the Holocaust then I think this is the perfect book, It teaches you many different things and makes you think about a lot. What out a doubt, this book and movie is amazing and very interesting.
