It is important for us to remember the past. We should always try to remember. This book is to remember the chilling tale furthermore.

The Devil’s Arithmetic ended with Chaya being executed, and then reappearing back in the United States as Hannah. Hannah remembered everything that she encountered in her travels, especially her good friend Rivkah. At Passover Seder that night Hannah noticed the numbers of her aunt’s tattoo from the Holocaust. Her aunt was known as Rivkah when she was a child. Hannah ends up being very respectful and sympathetic of her family’s past. The film provides a lesson to all of its viewers, which I think was its intended purpose. The film reminds its viewers to learn and never forget about the Holocaust, as it was a horrific point in world history. The viewer can be compared to Hannah, as everyone should be respectful when learning about the

So he can show the evidence to his christian wife so he can “save her from the cult of Jesus”. While Lee tries to disprove Christ’s death and resurrection he ends up building a case for Christ. The movie “The Case For Christ” was released in 2017 as drama/biography which is one hour and fifty-two minutes long and was directed by Jon Gunn.

While the novel “their eyes were watching god” and the film by the same name were very much alike they were also very different. The movie while touching on major issues that are parallel to book also misses some other points. While the book touches heavily on nature and janies innerself as discovered through nature the movie lacks the symbolism that the book was heavy with, Tea Cake and Janie's relationships are changed and the janies trial is not included in the film either.

Do you know what happened in the holocaust? Hannah is a girl who at first hates her “stupid” religion. This young 16-year old’s attitude is very typical for most girls her age. Hannah from the “The Devil's Arithmetic”m has many experiences. Hannah values also change. She learns a lot too.

The Holocaust was one of the world’s major tragedies. If you were a Jew the Nazis would take you to concentration camp and you would have to do everything they said, you would get your head shaved, and be treated awful. Millions died. They would choose Jews to take to the gas chamber, usually the weakest and most unhealthy ones because they weren’t much good to work anymore. “Yolen, Jane. The Devil's Arithmetic.

In “The Devil’s Arithmetic,” book and movie, there are many similarities including the same allusion of “The Wizard of Oz,” Hannah is similar, they have man vs. society, and man vs. self. “The Wizard of Oz,” is an allusion meaning it was mentioned in the book. Oz is similar to the book as Hannah was in a dream just like Dorothy. Hannah is another similarity in the book and movie as Hannah keeps the same traits in both the book and movie. She hates Jewish history towards the beginning, and respects it in the end. Another similarity is the conflict of man vs. society. Man vs. society is shown as it is the Jews vs. the Nazis society. One other similarity is man vs. self as Hannah still has an internal conflict in both the movie and book. This conflict is she questions is there any more I can do, and are we monsters or heroes.

“Without laughter, there is no hope. Without hope, there is no life.” This is a quote from The Devil’s Arithmetic, written by Jane Yolen. This book is about Hannah, a Jewish girl going to her grandparents for Passover Seder. She’s tired of doing the same thing every year, but soon, she will learn the importance of it. In The Devil’s Arithmetic, Yolen used the motifs of hope and inhumane treatment to show the theme, even if you’re being treated inhumanely, you should still have hope.

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.

Throughout many writing pieces, and throughout many authors, the main idea is that the Holocaust is bad and nobody should repeat it. This is conveyed through The Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen, when a girl in a concentration camp sees horrible things. Another piece about the horrors of the Holocaust is The Boy Who Dared, by Susan Campbell Bartoletti is about a boy who tries to educate people on how horrible the Holocaust is, but is killed by the Nazis. And by two Scholastic Scope articles, Teens against Hitler, by Lauren Tarshis and Betrayed By America by Kristin Lewis. One technique that the author used in The Boy who Dared that conveyed the idea that nobody should repeat the actions took in the Holocaust is the radio.

The Devil’s Arithmetic teaches us countless lessons throughout both forms of publishing. Each form however has a different lesson and develops them in different ways. The book differentiates from the movie in numerous ways. In both the book and the movie there are many similarities, but there is still diversity. Each form of media develops their individual themes differently because that makes it more apparent for the viewers to understand and absorb.

Injustice wars. This was happening in the movie The Devil’s Arithmetic and in the book The Breadwinner. In the movie The Devil’s Arithmetic a teenage girl named Hannah has to go to her grandmas house for a religious party. She has to do a certain task at the party, but when she does it she travels back in time to the Holocaust war with her cousin Rivkah. In the book The Breadwinner a young girl named Parvana and her family were in a war against the Taliban.

It was also enjoyable because it is well-written and has a good message. The message in “The Devil and Tom Walker” is symbolic. Irving’s lesson is to be charitable and unselfish, or in other words, don’t be greedy. I think the message of the story is something that should be considered an extremely important idea to humankind. Greed is the root of most corruption, both past and present, in our world. If more people were less selfish, the world would likely be a much better place than it currently is. The lesson is presented through Tom’s actions. Tom literally sells his soul to the devil for
