=PARAGRAPH 1= The Devil's Arithmetic was first a novel but then it was turned into a movie about the holocaust and the terryfing things that happened in it. At first Hannah (the main character) travels back in time to when her family was in the concentration camps during the holocaust. Hannah then finds herself losing her memory of the present time and has a hard time trying to remember what happens during the camps. But when she finally accepts what is happening she returns back to the seder and continues with her life. This shows how a girl goes back in time to the holocaust from the seder and learns alot about her family's history in the camp also there are many things in common bewteen the novel and the movie. =PARAGRAPH 2= In the novel and movie there quite alot of similarities some of which I have listed. In the story Hannah goes to the seder but on the way she complains about the whole seder and how she doesn't want to go to the seder. During the seder Hannah is chosen to open the door for Elijah and when she does she goes back in time to when the holocaust is happening. When she is arrives to the time of the holocaust she is sent the camps of which she must work to survive through the camps. During the camps a group of people try to escape but they are caught and killed. Similarly Hannah is found that Rivka is chosen to die so Hannah takes the place of Rivka and instead of Rivka dieing Hannah dies in Lilith's cave and when she dies she returns back at the seder. And then she finds out that Rivka was Aunt Eva. However there may be this many similarities but there are whole lot more difrences. =PARAGRAPH 3= The movie had the several diffrent scenes however it did make the story plot more clear and understandable. In the beginning of the movie Hannah is older and able to drive. The movie starts of with Hannah and her friends getting a tattoo. Hannah in the movie goes to the time of the holocaust and Rivka is there with her. Several people who tried to escape are hung in the movie. During the movie a baby is born and she is chosen with two other people to die. Hannah eventually feels the need to have a seder so they do. Also at the end Hannah returns home and they sing a song at the seder. These are all things that happened in the movie not in the novel also there are many reasons for which is better the novel or the movie. =PARAGRAPH 4= Well if I had to pick which is better the novel or the movie I would pick the Novel. I chose the Novel because it shows and depicts a vivid description of the story. The novel has more dramatic and suspenseible scenes. Some of the scenes I loved was the time when Commandent Bruer came, and the ending when Rivka turns out to be Aunt Eva. The last reason why I love the Novel better it is easier to understand the story if you read the book and shows all the real scenes. My the reason why I hate the movie is most of the good scenes are taken out and changed into horrible scenes which I thought was dreadful. This book I would totally recommend because the book is dramatic, exciting, suspensible, and shows a lot about how the camps were and how the Jews were treated in the holocaust and what they been through. Overall this book is an appealing and wonderfully amazing book and I recommend you read the book and if the plot of the story is still unclear watch the movie.
