The Devil's Arithmetic

The Devil’s Arithmetic written by Jane Yolen and the Movie based off it Produced by Dustin Hoffman went into

The main difference from the book and the movie are the characters like Mr. Clel Waller.

In the movie productions of A Wrinkle In Time and And Then There Were None, the directors did not follow the original story line. The directors made some changes in the movies which did eventually end up affecting some of the movie scenes.

“Where the Red Fern grows,” is a book and a movie. The movie and the book has the same scenes but the movie is missing some details. The book has more narration than the movie. The book in my opinion feels like I am there. It draws me in more than the movie does.

In the book and movie version of The Devil’s Arithmetic, Hannah, the main character, goes to a family religious celebration for Jews known as passover. Hannah gets the privilege to open the door for the prophet elijah. When Hannah opens the door she is transported back in time to 1942. Hannah then has to live through the harshness of the concentration camps, like her grandpa and aunt did. Hannah figures out that she is living the life of her aunt Eva’s friend that passed away at the camps. She also gets to see her grandpa and aunt at the camp. In

In the Devil’s Arithmetic--both the book and the movie--Hannah, a young Jewish girl, begins the story by heading off to her Seder Dinner, much to her dismay. She doesn’t care much about her past, and she doesn’t want to remember what happened to the Jews. She greets her favorite aunt, Aunt Eva, at the door, and unenthusiastically goes along with the celebration, drinking too much wine and treating everyone with disrespect. When asked to go open the door for the prophet Elijah, Hannah reluctantly gets up and opens the door. In an instance, she is transported back in time to 1942, the peak of the Holocaust. What follows is a story of hope, terror, and courage. Hannah meets Rivka

There are many differences between the book and the movie, like in the book they all stayed down at Grandma Sands, but in the movie the dad didn’t stay with them. Another difference is that in the movie they go into town, but in the book it 's never mentioned. Something else that was different was that in the book the mood was happy most of the time, while in the movie the mood was sad. A difference between the book and the movie is that in the book momma was going to burn Byron, but in the movie she does not burn him. A big difference is that in the

“Aaaaahh!!” Turtle screamed as she saw Sam Westing’s dead body in the Westing house! People like to read and watch good mysteries just like this movie and novel. The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin contains many mysteries in both the movie and novel. The Westing Game movie and novel contain many similarities and differences that are worth exploring.

First of all, Hannah doesn't want to go to the Seder dinner since she thinks it is unimportant. When Hannah was with her family at the Seder dinner, she got to open the door for the prophet, Elijah. When she opens the door she gets transported back through time and meets Shmuel and Gitl. Shmuel is getting ready for his wedding and his engagement to Fayge. When they are on their way to the village to celebrate, they see vehicles parked outside the entrance and the village are empty. Hannah knew what was coming

Passover is an extremely important holiday to the Jewish religion. According to Hannah’s mom, it's all about remembering. “Passover isn't about eating, Hannah. It's about remembering.” Pg.4. This quote from Hannah's mother is a huge contribution to the story. It represents what will happen to Hannah- she will learn to remember.

In my opinion there are a lot of comparisons between the film and the book, but there are also differences between them too, but also they have impacted the audience in both the film and the

She became self centered, she didn't even like her Hebrew name, Chaya which means ”life”, and was given to her in honor of her Aunt’s Eva friend. Through Hannah's perspective this was irrelevant, the fact that she was named after a dead, unimportant person. Luckily Hannah learns to appreciate the Jewish religion changes during a Passover Seder. During a Passover Seder dinner, when is time to open the door to welcome the prophet Elijah, Hannah is transported into a “dream” where she is no longer in New Rochelle, and it is 1942 in Poland. During this experience Hannah, also known as Chaya, is in her aunt’s Eva friend Chaya, the one she was named

Alabama Moon is about a boy named Moon Blake (dubbed Alabama Moon by the general public), a recently orphaned boy. For his whole life, he and his father have lived together in the forest, away from the government. Now he's ten years old, with only what his father taught him and told him to do: 1. How to survive in the wilderness without having to rely on others, 2. Run away from the law (for him, the other way of saying “government”), 3. Go to Alaska.

The Devil’s Arithmetic, based on author Jane Yolen’s novel, is a 1999 film that aims to educate viewers about the horror, importance, and impact of the Holocaust. The director, Donna Deitch, depicts the journey of a modern teenager, with an apathetic view of her Jewish heritage, who travels back in time during her family’s Seder feast to a concentration camp in 1941. The protagonist experiences the terror of the Holocaust first hand as she develops a new, appreciative meaning for her existence and family’s history. The film serves as a non-violent and efficient way to inform young viewers, who may be uneducated or disinterested, of the Holocaust. This is especially true when considering the film’s engaging plot, cinematic techniques that recreate the horror of the Holocaust, and the film’s primary purpose.

The book The Devil’s Arithmetic connected to Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night as well as told me more about the plans to Jews had to
