Have you ever broken a rule? ‍‍‍‍Well, ‍‍‍‍in the book, //The Devils Arithmetic//, if you break a rule y‍‍‍‍ou die ‍‍‍.‍ ‍‍‍‍In this book the people in the concentration camps must know ‍‍‍two types of rules, the camp's rules and Rivka's rules.‍‍ Both of these rules maintain order and to keep you alive (just barely). ‍‍‍‍There ‍were many differences between Rivkas rules and the camp rules.

Several people present the camp rules to everyone that comes in. These rules were given out by the three fingered woman, the commandant and the tatooer. One of these rules is “Do not speak unless spoken to.”.The next one is to not ever complain. Three others are that you must work hard to live, do not answer back and never say no here at the camp. The Nazis want to break the prisoners with these rules. With these rules, the Nazis try to deprive them of their dignity to show who is in charge at this camp. They want to take their freedom and their hope.

‍ Ri ‍‍‍‍‍vkas is the person who gives out bowls for food. She helps the new people who come to the camp with the rules. ‍ Rivka says that They ‍‍‍ must help the little ones hide from the Nazis. ‍‍‍‍Another rule is to never stand next to a person with a "G" on the their arm because they are Greek. Because they are Greek, they do not know Yiddish or German and will be to slow to respond to a command. This also means that they will be killed and you could be too. ‍‍‍‍ Rivka has many such rules but all aim to help ‍‍‍‍ ‍Them ‍‍‍ stay alive.

‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ So many rules to help you stay alive. Some of the rules don't kill you but not following them will ‍. ‍‍‍‍But either way, this concentration camp is a harsh and unforgiving place.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Hannah, ‍‍‍‍ the main character in ths book and her friends are going to have a tough time surviving. Even with the help of Rivka and her rules, Hannah might not survive this arithmetic.
