At the beginning, Hannah is forced to go to the Seder and is about to experience the problem Jewish people had. Why she was in Poland, she went to a wedding and rode in a boxcar to the concentration camps. During the time she was there, Hannah learned how to survive in the camps and helped out a friend. When she returned she saw the number that was on a friend's arm and she was estastic. Now, there are some similarities and differences between the novel and the movie. PARAGRAPH 2 These are some similarities between the novel and the movie. Hannah went to the Seder, in the movie Hannah was forcefully taken to her grandparent's house. In the novel, Rivka was a character in the novel and in the movie Rivka is a helpful and genorous friend for Hannah. Hannah was transported to the time of the Holocaust in the novel, but in the movie Hannah went to a Polish village and experienced the Holocaust. Commandant Bruer dominated the camp in the novel, in the movie Commandant Bruer was the leader of the Jews at the camp.

Rachel was a character and a friend to Hannah in the novel, later in the movie Rachel didn't existed at all. Shmuel was Hannah's uncle in the movie but in the movie Shmuel was a friend to Hannah. Gitl was Hannah's aunt, but in the movie Gitl never existed. PARAGRAPH 4 My opinion is the movie was better than the novel. One reason is that the movie had more excitement then the novel had. Another reason is the plots were different and it varied in what happened to Hannah and everyone else. The last reason is it still had some of the main characters that were important. These are the reasons why I like the movie better than the novel, but the novel is still wonderful to read and I would recommend it. This would be a great book for people who like the thirst for knowledge and excitement. Now, do you believe that this book is great or not?
