=PARAGRAPH 1= Compare and Contrast Essay on the Devils Arithmatic The Devils Arithmatic is both a novel and and a movie. The novel/movie tells the story of a girl named Hannah who experienced the Holacaust. While visiting her family member's house she gets taken to Europe during 1942. She wakes up and finds out that she is to go to a wedding. While going to the wedding, the Nazis arrive and tell them to get into the trucks for resetlement. They are taken to a concentration camp. Hannah learns to stay alive and to protect her friends. While working in the camp, she switches places with her friend, Rivka, to save her friends life. She is taken to her death and then wakes up at the Seder. This is how the novel is both alike and different from the movie. =PARAGRAPH 2= The novel is similar to the movie in a lot of ways. These are the simularities. Hannah is Jewish and has to go to a Seder at her grandparents house. She does not want to go to the Seder, but she has to. At the Seder, she is picked to open the door for the prophet Elija. When she does that, she gets taken back in time to Europe 1942. She wakes up in a cabin. She goes to a wedding in the village. When going to the wedding, the Nazis come and tell everyone to get into the trucks for resettlement. When they arrive at the concentration camp, the women and the men are separated. The people get the numbers on their arms and pick cloths from a pile. While working with her friends, Hannah switches places with her friend Rivka to save her friends life. She is taken to her death. She then wakes up at the Seder at her grandparents house.

=PARAGRAPH 3= The novel and the movie differ in many ways. These are some differences. Hannah is much older in the movie. The story begins at a tattoo parlor instead of Hannah's friends house. In the movie, when Hannah wakes up in the past, there are two people in the cabin. In the story, Rivka is Hannah's friend that she meets at the camp. Gitl is single with no children. In the story the rabbi has a daughter not a son. When they go to the camps in the story they take both a truck and a train. Gitl dies in the movie. When Hannah switches places with Rivka, them and two other girls are working. These are the differences between the movie and the novel. =PARAGRAPH 4= Both the movie and the novel were excellent, but I prefere the book. I prefer the novel because it tells the story better. My favorite part was when the women in the barrack have their own Seder for Rivka. The novel gives much more detail than the movie. Also, I don't like how the movie changed the novel around so much. In my opinion, the novel is much better than the movie.
