DEVIL’S ARITHMETIC

There are many similarities and differences in this book and movie, just like any other one. But the lessons that we learn in this story are tremendous.

There are many differences in these 2 versions of 1 story especially with all of the different characters and some of them weren't even there. Take fayge for an example in the movie she wasn't even called fayge maybe didn't even have a name at all. Woah wait and who is this special guy of Hannah's in the movie? He wasn't in the book but he is the rabbi’s son so he could have been me times once or twice in the
