=PARAGRAPH 1= The Devil's Arithmetic is a story and a movie that is a historical-fiction. This book (movie) is about a girl named Hannah, who travels through time to the Holocaust. She is treated badly by the Nazis and also forced into the concentration camps. Hannah is a hard worker, and saves her friend (cousin) Rivka from bing killed, and sacrafices her life insted. Finally, because she "remembered", she was sent back to presnt time, and spoke to her Aunt Eva, who was Rivka, but couldn't bear to keep the name. Overall, the story line was very interesting. =PARAGRAPH 2= The movie and the novel have many similarities, here are a few: In the novel, Hannah transforms into the past. Also she meets her friend in the novel. In addition she goes through the terrible times of the Holocaust. In comparison all of these things happen in the movie. First, she does transform into the past. Next, she does meet her cousin Rivka in the movie also. And lastly, in the movie, Hannah has to feel the pain that the Nazis cause her to have. To sum it up, there are many similarities but those were just a few. =PARAGRAPH 3= The movie and the novel have their similarities but there are a lot of differences too. In the novel when Hannah goes into the past she transforms into Chaya. Also, the novel tells that Hannah meets Rivka towards the middle of the novel, and she is a friend of Hannah. In addition, Rivka explains the importance of their numbers that were tattooed on their arms, and how they could relate to their lives. Although these things happen in the novel, it is much different in the movie. In the movie, when Hannah goes into the past she doesn't get a new name because her aunt's dead friend's name was Hannah, not Chaya. The movie also explains that she meets Rivka in the beginning of the movie and she is her cousin. Also in the movie, Rivka does not speak of the importance of their numbers that were on their arms. As a result, the novel and movie have ample varieties of differences. =PARAGRAPH 4= I enjoyed the Devil's Arithmetic, it was very knowlagable, and gave many facts about the Holocaust. I enjoyed the movie more than the book. The reason why I enjoyed the movie more compared to the novel is because although the novel was descriptive, you learned more about the peoples' personalities. My favorite part of the book (movie) was when the villiagers were stuck in the boxcars. This was my favorite part because the people told stories inside the story. Although that is my favorite part was the boxcar scene, my least favorite part was when Hannah takes Rivka's place even though it had to happen or history would be changed. I would reccomend this book to anybody young or old because it is very intersting and you learn a lot. In conclusion, the story line was unforgettable.
