Gabe has always been her only friend, or in her words, “the only one I truly gave my heart to,” so in a way, he has been sort of a crutch for her ever since they lost their parents. It is at this part that Drucilla realizes a harsh truth: Gabe might be her best friend, but they can’t always be together. He might visit her from time to time, but things will never be the same as they were before. For Drucilla, who is the type of person who needs social interaction and hates being alone, this is hard to swallow.

I think it helped him somehow to calm himself down.”
"So, Jonas, what brought you and Gabe here?" She asked one day. So, Jonas began to to her his story. About the community and sameness, and how everything is chosen for you. About their family units and houses, climate control and their lack of emotions. He told her about the Giver, and all the emotions the two of them held. And then, last of all, Jonas told her about release. About the twin and the anger that filled him when he saw the recording. And about Gabe: why they had to leave. Laura sat quietly, and when he was done, she still said nothing. "Jonas," Laura said eventually. "I want you to know that this is your home
A survivor is a person who simply makes it through an event, no matter the circumstance. More specifically, a survivor is an individual who gets through alive, either without a scratch on their body, or beaten down to the bone. When Lily Owens, Equality 7-2521, and George Milton keep running away from their problems, and finally stay put, with no harm as previously experienced, they are categorized as survivors. To be a survivor is to be a remainder, who keeps living, which is what these three main characters are doing, but in different circumstances to have been grouped as survivors.

Survival is being able to endure and live through challenges that may wear you down (mentally or physically), and there are several ways of showing survival. “The Story of Keesh,” by Jack London, depicts survival through a harsh setting. “The Five People You Meet In Heaven,” by Mitch Albom, depicts survival through character development.

Bullies in School Kathleen Berger 1 Bullying was once commonly thought to be an unpleasant but normal part of child's play, not to be encouraged, of course, but of little consequence in the long run. However, developmental researchers who have looked closely at the society of children consider bullying to be a very serious problem, one that harms both the victim and the aggressor, sometimes continuing to cause suffering years after the child has grown up. 2 One leading researcher in this area is Dan Olweus, who has studied bullying in his native country of Norway and elsewhere for twenty-five years. The cruelty, pain, and suffering that he has documented in that time are typified by the examples of Linda and Henry: Linda was systematically
