The book and the movie are both very different, yet they are also the same in a few ways. In the book they had different characters, then the movie. In the movie they had gotten rid of some of the characters and then added new ones. The theme in the movie and the book is the same. In the Devil's arithmetic It starts out in New Rochelle and Hannah is forced to go to her grandparents with her parent for the celebration of the Seder. While at the Seder, she is chosen to open the door for Elisha and when she does, she is whisked away to Poland in 1942. Hannah can’t remember anything.

achromatic dress. On the way to the Rabbi’s house they are abducted and sent off to the concentration camp by the Nazis lead by the abominable captain Brewer. There Hannah is met by another girl her age named Rivka, who gives them guidelines that they must follow in order to live. The crowd watching aghast as Shmuel was shot. During her time at camp, Hannah experiences the horrific horrors of camp before she is taken off to the furnace in place of Rivka because Rivka wasn’t able-bodied. When she walks through the doors, she is taken back to the apartment and at that time her attitude has changed to a more thankful attitude. The book and the movie have some similarities.
In both of them the general theme was that sacrifices must be made for those of whom you love. Also that love means that you can count on me good times and bad times. They both start you out with this girl Hannah with an age range between 12-19 and a somewhat of a fiery temper. In both of them Hannah is also a very good story teller and tells stories to her friends. They both also allow her to run into a girl her age named Rivka. In the concentration camps, lots of people that Hannah knew was killed. There were escape attempts in both of them and in both they were executed for their …show more content…
actions. The book and the movie are very different in the plots and characters.
In the book there are characters such as Gertrude, who is Chaya’s aunt, Yitzchak and his children, Grandpa Will/Wolfe, Yente a friend of Chaya/Hannah and many more that aren't in the movie. The author says that the little girl dies while abed. In the book Chaya doesn’t meet Rivka until she gets to the camp and then Rivka is just a friend made on the spot. In the movie, Rivka is Chaya’s cousin and they are together as soon as Hannah is put in Poland. Also in the book the house Hannah wakes up in is in the countryside, however, in the movie the house she is in is in a little town. In the movie Hannah is already driving and is rather bold, however, in the book Hannah is not as old and she is nowhere as bold as she is in the movie. In the movie the almost escapees were hung and in the book they were put in front of the firing squad and Leia runs up to Shmuel and then is shot with him. In the book Yitzchak escapes, but Yitzchak doesn’t show in the movie and Leia is not shot with
Shmuel. The movie and the book are very different, but yet the same. I personally thought that the book was better than the movie. This opinion is probably based on how I read the book first. In the movie the thing that I liked was the opening comments by the producer because that gave you a reason why they had it created and also gave you insight on the theme. The book and the movie were okay but just not in my range of interests. I would recommend this book to anyone who liked to read about the holocaust or the Jewish religion.
Many of the characters do not even exist in the book or movie. In the book, Hannah has a little brother named Aaron when Hannah is in the present. When Hannah gets transported to the past, she sees a man walking through a field and she turns around and sees an older woman in the house. Those people are Shmuel and Gertrude. They are her aunt and uncle and they care for Hannah since her parents died. In the movie, Hannah does not have a little brother, she is an only child. When she is in the past, Gertrude is not a character and Shmuel is not her uncle. Instead, Hannah meets Rivka in the house and Ricka is Hannah’s cousin. Hannah lives with Rivka and Rivka’s mother. Hannah is also called “Chaya” in the book when she is in 1942. Hannah is just called her regular name in the movie - not her Jewish name. In the book, Shmuel gets married to a stunning woman named Fayge. However, in the movie, Shmuel gets married to Leah, who does not pay any attention to Hannah, unlike Fayge loved Hannah in the book. Hannah meets four friends at the wedding. Their names are: Rachel, Esther, Shifre, and Yente. Then, at the camp, Hannah meets Rivka, who has lived in that camp for one year and she lost all her family members except her brother, who is Grandpa Will in the book. Grandpa Will is also not a character in the movie, so that means that Rivka’s brother is also not a character. The rabbi’s son’s name
-Hannah page 141 When Hannah gets up from the table to open the door for the prophet Elijah, she is transported to Poland in about the 1940s. There she sees the life of Chaya Abramowicz. She insists that her name is Hannah and that she lives in America but Chaya's aunt and uncle Gitl and Shmuel look over these claims as effects of Chaya's cholera, from which she barely survived. The disease killed Chaya's parents and the adults think Chaya is probably still thinking about her parents. Hannah is the only one who knows what is actually about to happen.
There are few similarities between the book and the movie. Usually most movies are similar to
The Devil’s Arithmetic is written by Jane Yolen. The story’s main character is Hannah. Hannah is a thirteen year old girl who is unappreciative of her family and everything they do for her. During a Seder dinner, Hannah is transported back in time to rural Poland in 1942. In this time Hannah becomes Chaya. During a wedding procession, she is captured and taken to a concentration camp.

In both genres, Hannah still goes back in time and experiences life in the camps. Aunt Eva is still the same person. The theme in both is about remembering what had happened. Jane Yolen and the director of the film are both jewish. They both want us to remember that the atrocity of the holocaust was real and something that should be studied so we will not make the mistake of prosecuting a person because of their religion again.

Walker commits to usury and makes a generous sum of money. Walker has no repentance for such a sin and continues to his usury. The evil accumulates in the story as Walker accumulates more and more money, resulting from more and
Things of horrible nature from the past tend repeat themselves, so we make sure to educate our youth on those topics. Such as the Holocaust, books like Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen, and The Boy Who Dared by Susan Campbell Bartoletti along with articles Betrayed by America and Teens against Hitler portray how bad the Holocaust was. These works of literature present the troubles and tantrums the Holocaust caused. The Devil’s Arithmetic is about a girl named Hannah finding out the significance of the Holocaust and how it awful the camps were. The Boy Who Dared is about a boy named Helmuth who was a young boy raised during Hitler’s rise, he saw all the horror and lying Hitler caused and did through young eyes. Teens Against Hitler is about
The devil’s arithmetic is all about Hannah that is at a passover with her Mom and Dad and little brother Aaron. And her aunt Eva said that Hannah should let the prophet Elijah in. The whole story is all about a girl about 13 or 14 and so was having a dream that was in the holocaust. So that is all about the intro to the Devil’s Arithmetic.
Furthermore, one of the main differences between the movie and the novel, Twilight, are the characters. Although both stories share the same characters and background information about the characters, there are differences in their
Like every movie adaptation, the book and the film are not identical. While changes were definitely made to the book, for the most part, the film stays exceedingly faithful to the book and its original story; however, there are a few radical changes to the main themes that many readers agree tamper with the principles of the story.
The theme of the book isn't very different from the movie because of many reasons. Harry still shows us the meaning of being a true wizard. Learning to stick to your goals in life without giving up. This is same in both the movie and book. Harry also shows us to stick with your gut in both the movie and book. Harry accomplishes things he never knew he could on he realized
