=PARAGRAPH 1= __The Devil’s Arithmetic__  is a novel written by Jane Yolen that was later turned into a film.

Finally, there are many similarities and differences between the novel and movie versions of __The Devil’s Arithmetic.__ =PARAGRAPH 2= There are many similarites between the novel and the movie version of __The Devil’s Arithmetic.__ One huge thing that was similar in both was that Hannah didn’t want to go to the Seder and remember the past because she thought that every Jewish holiday was about remembering. When she was in the past she was sick and a family member took her in after what happened to her parents. Before the wedding she met three girls. In the camp she was shorn of all her hair as were the others. Hannah told stories to the others of fairy tales that she had seen. The escape ideas were very similar and they’re plans to escape were both foiled by the Nazi’s. Though there are many similarities there are also many differences. =PARAGRAPH 3= There are many differences between the novel and the movie version of __The Devil’s Arithmetic.__ They never mention Hannah’s Brother Aaron in the movie, there is no Gitl in the movie either. Fagye’s name is different in the movie and the baby that dies on the train is born in the camp during in the film.The wedding never happens in the novel. Hannah’s way older in the movie like sixteen I think because she can drive. When she comes back she in bed during the film but in the novel she is right where she left off at the door for the prophet Elijah. Though there are many similarities and differences they both kept the same main idea of remembering. =PARAGRAPH 4= In my opinion, I thought the novel was better; I thought the novel was better because it has more details and was easier for me to understand. I like the way in the book it made me feel like I was there. I like the novel better because they made the message easier to find and remember what those people went though is really important. Finally I believe that the novel version of __The Devil’s Arithmetic__ is better then the movie version.My favorite part of the novel was when she gets transported through time and thinks it’s all a dream because it’s entraining when she’s trying to convince them of who she is. My least favorite part is when the people who try to escape are killed because it shows how cruel they were to the jews.I would recommend this book to anyone who is intersected in the Holocaust. In conlusion I liked the novel more then the movie.
