__UGH! Rules. __

Usually when you think of rules, you think of //no hitting// or //no kicking//. However, in the book //The Devils Arithmetic//, the rules are much more serious. Life and death even. A very important rule in the camp is to not call attention to yourself. These rules are to discourage confidence. There is a girl named Rivka in this camp, a prisoner, who helps Hanna and her friend out. She tells them more rules an her most important rule is don't stand near Greeks. Rivkas rules are extremely important. The intent, or purpose, of her rules are to keep them alive. NOTE

The camp rules are very strict. One rule that the three-fingered lady said was to not forget the word schnell, the German word for faster. It is very important because if you move slow you will be punished, a nice way of saying killed. Another is NEVER question. If you question the Germans you will be calling yourself out and you will be killed. NOTE
