    Do you really know what went on during the holocaust well Jane Yolen wrote a special book about how life was like in the concentration camps which later turned into a movie. There are many different things that go on in between the book and the movie like how there is a major age difference and how Rivka ends up being her cousin. That is some but there's also many similarities like how Hanna still tells her stories to keep everybody together and how Hanna still sacrifices herself for Rivka. Well I think that differences or not they still both teach that valuable lesson that one after one the deaths were adding and one after one they were disappearing.…

    S.E. Hinton was only 15 years old when she wrote this extremely detailed book. I liked her book a lot because of how much detail she put into it. I didn’t like the movie a lot because I was kind of expecting it to be a lot like the book but was disappointed when it left out many different parts of the book. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the book was more effective in telling the story.…

    They all had felt the same emotions including fear, sadness, suffering, and just felt like they were worth nothing to anybody. The plot had was nearly the same although Shmuel wasn’t introduced until the wedding which instead of marrying Fayge(which wasn’t in the movie) he got married to someone else on accident. The plot was also the same mostly because when the tried to escape they failed, when Hannah went to die for Rivka, and the brutal treatment they were given with very little food. In also the book and the movie they gave the same kinda theme because the Holocaust is something you shouldn’t joke about. They both made you cringe to some parts because that what actually happened. Therefore they want you to understand that the horrors during this time and also the feelings going through people's…
