Could you picture six million people dying for no reason. Dying because they were sick and could not work. Dying because they were too young or because the parent wouldn’t let the child die so they got killed with them. It seems kind of ridiculous but this happened to the jews during World War II. The book The Devil’s Arithmetic and the movie The Devil’s Arithmetic explained how awful the camps were and how bad the nazis treated the jews. They book and the movie were alike in some parts, but they are way different overall.
The book The Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen explained to me how bad the jews got treated during WWII. The book had way more detail than the movie The Devil’s Arithmetic(which came out March 33, 1999). The overall story …show more content…
If you don’t know who the characters are, you are most likely going to get confused. You have to know who the characters are if you want to get the overall point of the book or the movie. There was a gargantuan amount of people in the book and the movie. Hannah is the main character in the book and the movie. She goes into the “different world”, and the book and the movie are based around her. Aunt Eva is very important to Hannah because she gets hannah. She gets that Hannah doesn’t want to go to Passover, but she tells hannah that she needs to because it is family tradition. Aunt Eva gets Hannah better than Hannah’s parents do. You cannot have a book or a movie without having plot. Plot is probably the most important part of a book/movie. Plot is the storyline and is very important. The book and the movie mostly have the same plot. There are little parts that are different but there are also big parts that are different. In the book and the movie, Hannah thinks that she is hallucinating when she goes into the “different world”. She thinks she is drunk from all of the wine she drank. She was very wrong… When she gets to the “different world”, no one believes Hannah when she says that the nazi officers will take them to the camps, or that six million Jews will die. No one believes her, and a lot of the people end up dying in the camp. Hannah doesn’t ever say “I told you so!” Or “you should have listened”, because she has great character. Another big part of books and movies, is the theme. The theme is what the author tries to base the story on. The theme is the lesson of the story. There are many themes in The Devil’s Arithmetic but I think the main theme is, “Don’t forget the past”. That is a very important theme and I think that is what Jane Yolen was trying to get to
