Watching both the movie and the novel and seeing how different they are they also have so many similarities. Like in both stories they got the blue number tattooed to their arm, and got taken away while at a wedding but in the movie there did get married and in the novel they didn’t. While trying to escape they get caught and killed. Also in both the movie and novel their hair was shorn and they had to take thier clothes off ans change to something different so that all thier nice things were given to the people that were not Jewish.

=There are still many differences from the novel to the movie. For instance there is a woman in the movie that gives birth but no one gives birth in the novel. Also when they plan the escape they do both get caught but in the novel the were shot and in the movie they were beaten and hung. In the novel the Rabbi was the only one that was killed in his family and in the movie was the only one not killed out of his family. Even though both the movie and the novel have many differences they are also so much alike.=

My opinion to chose the novel or the movie, I would chose the movie. The Devil's Arithmetic movie was very different from the novel. My favorite part of the movie was when Hannah found out the her best friend from the Holocaust, Rivka, was really her aunt Eva. My least favorite part of the movie was watching how the Nazi treated the Jews and all the horrible things that happened to them. I would recomened this The Devil's Arithmetic to people the ike to learn about the Holocaust. I think that both the novel and the movie were enjoyable.
