Answer:

The numbers, for them, are a way to process and survive, feeling they have some kind of control over such a chaotic situation.

Explanation:

In "The Devil's Arithmetic" ( 1988), by Jane Yolen and published in 1988,  Hannah Stern and the girls that she meets while imprisoned during the Holocaust, develop a theory about the numbers they had tattoed on them as a way to identify them, to give them meaning and eve premonitory influence on their lives. The Devil's Arithmeticrefers to the idea that each person who dies instead of them, means one more day that they get to be alive and not sent to the gas chamber. However, they develop more deep explanations. Rivka, for example, says;

"The 1 is for me because I am alone. The 8 is for my family because there were eight of us when we lived in our village. And the 2 because that is all that are left now, me and Wolfe, who believes himself to be a 0. But I love him no matter what he is forced to do. And when we are free and this is over, we will be 2 again."

In which portion of the essay should you address a counterargument?
sammy [17]
Usually, the rule of thumb indicates the following:
1- Introduction
     You say what you are trying to do with your text and how you are trying to accomplish it.
2- Body [1]
     You introduce your topic and your argument [thesis] and introduce supporting detail.
3- Body [2]
     You elaborate on the supporting detail.
4- Body [3]
      You state what your opposing party believes regarding your argument, and refute it.
5- Conclusion
      You reflect on what you have stated to accomplish the objective mentioned in the introduction, and how you have accomplished it.

The reason why you should not address a counterargument before/after where is suggested is because it's counterproductive to the purpose of the segments in the structure. If you do it in the second paragraph of your body, you didn't allow yourself space to support your thesis. Similarly, the introduction and conclusion paragraphs are not there for you to address anything, so doing so would be incoherent.
