Compare And Contrast The Devil's Arithmetic

The Devil’s Arithmetic features a Jewish girl, Hannah Stern, as the main character. Her and her family live in the United States, as their ancestors had traveled to America after the conclusion of World War II and the Holocaust. The movie goes back in time to 1942 due to Hannah’s lacking interest in learning about her family’s past. The time travel proves as a lesson to Hannah, as it takes her through t he Holocaust with her own family members. Throughout the movie, there are several accuracies and inaccuracies concerning history. Overall, the movie is very precise in reenacting history in order to portray its message about the Holocaust.

That is why the point of view is different in the book and in the movie. The second difference is the characters. The characters are different because in the book there are sixteen characters and in the movie there are only ten. The missing characters are Theo Theodorakis, Flora Baumbach, Madame Sun Lin Hoo, and Dr. Denton Deere.

A character that I didn't see in movie were Jonny and Ponyboy's parents. It didn't say much about hoe Jonny parents died in a car crash, and the movie didn't say anything about Jonny parents of how they fight. Soda Pop girlfriend or lover was also forgotten about. The movie didn't say how Soda Pop was going to marry her, how she was even in his

Elie Wiesel was born in Simchat Torah in 1928. (google.com). He was one of the few jews that survived the holocaust. He wrote a book Night explaining his experiences with his father in the concentration camp at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in Germany during World war II. The Holocaust was an efficient way to murder the Jewish people. It all started because the Germans believed they were racially superior and the Jews were inferior to them. “The Devil's Arithmetic” is about a girl name Hannah uninterested in her heritage and relatives. She gets transported back in time to a concentration camp and she reevaluates her life and culture. “The Devil's Arithmetic” serves two meanings; one explaining how the death was decided, and the second how they should

The Devil’s Arithmetic is gripping book that grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go. It is a book to helps children of this generation remember the horror the Nazis caused. It is important for us to remember the past. We should always try to remember. This book is to remember the chilling tale furthermore.

approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions.

One more example of this comes directly after Hannah is transported to World War 2. Instead of including the wedding procession and the farmhouse, the movie goes to the wedding very quickly. Also, in the movie, the Nazis come and take away the Jews at the wedding, not at the end of the wedding procession. Another difference in the plot of the movie is the trip to the concentration camp. In the book, several people died on the way to the camp, and the train stopped once for each car.

Jane Yolen wrote The Devil’s Arithmetic with the main theme about remembering what happened,sacrifices, and honoring those who died. Hannah Stern ,a 13 year old girl, is tired of remembering and doesn’t want to go to the Seder. Hannah faces a dream that seems like reality where she learns what happened in Concentration Camps to the Jews. She learns that she must remember what happened to the Jews and she learns about sacrifice and honoring the dead. After waking from her dreams she realizes she must remember the Holocaust, honor the dead Jews, and stay true to her religion. The Devil’s Arithmetic film was made in 1999 based on the book written by Jane Yolen. The movie highlights the horror and dismay the Jews faced in the camps. Hannah the main character faces the disheartening nature of these camps in her dream which feels like reality to her. Hannah learns about the Holocaust and what happens if you were in the camps during the Holocaust while in her dream and she learns to

The Holocaust that occurred in the 1930’s and 40’s is a stain on world history. It was orchestrated by Nazi Germany as an act against Jews as a way to punish them because they were blamed for Germany’s loss in World War 1. Over 6 million Jews along with other minorities were killed. If you were a victim of this massacre, you would be faced with the task of finding light in the darkness. This would seem impossible.

In conclusion the book and movie are very much alike but they are different. The book had more details, but the movie you could see what the Jews went throw, so you have a better picture of what happened or what is happening. Know after seeing the movie and reading the book I now understand why its called, Devil’s Arithmetic. The Nazis are the devil and the numbers are on the Jew’s arms is the arithmetic, so like the Nazis numbers also known as the

Some character I feel were needed to be put in the movie that were also in the book because those few characters added well to the scene and really made the book interesting. Johnny´s mother didn't make it to the movie. As I said in the lasted question Johnny´s mother was in the scene where she cused at Ponyboy and Dally and that scene added well to the book. Johnny mother in a way seemed to care about Johnny but never really showed it in their house. That sadly made Johnny not want to see his mother when he was in the hospital. Another character that wasn´t really needed in the movie was Sodapop's horse named Micky Mouse which Soda loved with all his heart but sadly Micky Mouse was sold by the ranch who owned him and Micky Mouse had to leave.

The Devil’s Arithmetic is both a movie and a book. They are so much different from each other. They only have a few things in common. They have more differences than similarities. I will compare and contrast the two stories by providing examples from each.

I remember when I was in the eighth grade, the entire class was assigned a project revolving around the Holocaust: each rotation of classes brought us all into the next level of this month-long project. In one class, we made scale models of what we thought would be a proper shelter for hiding in and in another, we read Holocaust era literature, such as Anne Frank’s Diary and Eli Wiesel’s Night. In what was normally our History class, we watched and read The Devil’s Arithmetic. Written by Jane Yolen, the story follows that of a young girl whose family is experiencing Passover. When showing her disinterest in the event, she is transported to Auschwitz during World War II to learn the importance of her heritage.

In the Devil's Arithmetic is about a girl called Hannah and her Jewish family, until time travel takes her in the middle of a small Jewish village in Poland which is controlled by the Nazis. Hannah doesn't like to be Jewish she doesn't like to Celebrate Hanukkah and other Jewish traditions. She thinks that it is stupid and a waste of time.

The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure, by Hans Magnus Enzenberger, is a book that explains the logic behind different mathematical concepts through twelve dreams. In each dream, the main character, Robert, is able to see mathematics in a different way and in a way that makes math more interesting and less intimidating. In the twelve dreams, Robert meets the Number Devil, named Teplotaxl, who introduces several number tricks through mathematical concepts using nontraditional terms such as hopping for squaring, minus numbers for negative numbers, prima donna for prime numbers, and rutabagas for square roots. In the midst of these dreams, Robert is introduced to Professor Singer, otherwise known as Georg Cantor.
