Rivka's Rules or Camp Rules What do you think about when you hear rules? In the book //The Devil's Arithmetic//, a girl Rivka who is a girl Hannah meets has rules like the camp. Camp rules can help you maintain boundaries and so can Rivka's. These rules can be life or death The rules between Rivka's rules and camp rules can be the same with lots of things but the can be different.

The Nazis expect that all prisoners follow the rules without complaint or delay. The four people who express the rules are the three-fingered lady, the tattooist, the commandant, and Rivka. One rule from the commandant is to listen to the word "schnell which means quickly. When you listen to this it keeps you out of trouble. One rule that the three-fingered lady said was, "Don't speak unless spoken to." The tatooist said to remember the number that you were given. That is important because if they call the number you have and you don't come the will maybe kill you. Rivka has a lot of rules but one of them is to remember your bowl. If you forget it somewhere and someone lies about no its mine. Then you can say but mine has 3 dents right there then they are screwed. The purpose of the camp rules is to keep your place. Another is to keep you in order and lastly to make people at the camps forget there real indentidy. NOTE

Rivka is a ten year-old girl who knows everything about the camp, and even has her own set of rules. One rule Rivka said was to not lose you bowl this is important because if you do lose your bowl you need to find it fast because you won't eat then you will die. Another rule that Rivka said was "don't be seen standing near a greek or you will be sent to lliths cave," which is NOT good. Lastly never ask why. If you ask why in the camps they will not like your attitude and may kill you. The purpose of Rivka's rules is to help you stay alive. Another is NOTE

Now that you know what they are which would you pick? To me rules are good and bad. They can be good so you don't cheat a game. They can be bad in which you cant run in the hallways. They can be life depending on and not.
