 Whole by Whole Essay

In the Nazi's camp in //The Devils Arithmetic// there are strict rules that must be followed or you will be executed. However, in this camp there is a 10 year-old girl named Rivka. She has her own set of rules on how to survive the camp. Some of her rules are similar to the Nazi's, such as //do what you are told// and don't forget the rules and some other. If the others don't follow her rules it could be a dangerous place for them.

The Nazis rules are basically meant to enslave the Jews and deprive them of their identity. Some were told by a three finger woman, a tattooist, and an officer. They enslave the Jews by keeping them in a dirty camp with curfews and that they have to work all day, and that they barely get to eat and drink at all. They deprive them of their identity by taking away their names and replacing them with numbers. They also make sure that the Jews were deprived of their culture. They kill the Jews if they are too young or too old to work, they also kill them if they get sick or get hurt enough to not work. They also have a lot of rules just so that the chances of someone forgetting a rule are big. They do this so that they can punish the person so then the others will be too scared to break the rules. I think that the Nazi's rules are strict.

Rivka's rules are made to help you survive. One rule is to know when to fight and when not to, let people go, try not to attract attention to yourself, and don't stand next to someone with G in their number. You must know when to fight and when not to so that you don't get in trouble with the Nazis. Don't attract attention to yourself because then there is a good chance that the Nazis won’t like what you're doing. To let people go because if you don't you might get deprived of hope if you fight back. You shouldn’t attract attention to yourself because chances are the Nazis aren’t going to like what you are doing. Don’t stand next to someone with G in their number because that means that they are a Greek and Greeks don’t understand German. <range type="comment" id="533646">If you follow these rules you will see that the intent is to keep you alive.
