    After reading and watching, Devil’s Arithmetic, there were many apparent things that were very different from the book to the movie. The names of characters, how people lost their lives, and other things were changed when the movie was written. But, the overall themes and feelings of the characters were they same in both formats of the story. Devil’s Arithmetic, written by Jane Yolen that was later turned into a movie in 1999, was centered around Hannah Stern, a young Jewish girl who is sick of remembering.

    Furthermore, the elimination of specific significant context during the movie such as, the non-existent symbolism and the lacking in the department of character development allows the audience to create a reason to question the purpose of this movie. The changes made to this movie adaptation has the effect of producing an extremely dry storyline while representing the characters as a two-dimensional person rather than a three-dimensional character. After all the changes were made, the lesson that is a part of A Separate Peace is no longer as deep and meaningful. Even though the message still vaguely appears in the movie, it does not give the same impression as in the novel. This leads to the viewers to not feel a connection and empathize with the characters.

Over time, a romantic relationship started to develop, not solely based on physical and sexual attraction, but also as a result of their similar views centered around their hatred of the Party. Although both characters complement each other in terms of their views of Big Brother as Party members, their values and approaches to this issue fundamentally conflict in terms of morality and ethics, history, and politics.
