On the first day of their escape, the 3 children walked 8 hours before stopping at a home for dinner. After their arrival, Kelly took his 2 nephews to his trapline. Chanie walked 5 km to meet them. Then was left off alone to find this father. Kelly told Chanie to follow the railroad tracks and to ask the railroad worked for food. Chanie made it through 36 hours.

She didn’t know the appropriate behaviors or protocol of the bathhouse. The attendants and fellow bathers tried to lead her in the right direction. Her many mishaps cause her to learn that she doesn’t completely understand a culture until she is immersed in it.

Have you ever felt alone, scared, or feared of never seeing home again? For 8 years this was the life of Cabeza de Vaca. Cabeza de Vaca, a spanish conquistador, sets out on his expedition to West Florida. But things didn't go as planned when he and only 3 survivors are stranded in East Texas. Despite all that life threw at him, how did Cabeza survive? Adapting to his environment, Cabeza de Vaca was able to survive because of his wilderness skills, communication skills, and his ability to heal and perform surgery on wounded Native Americans.

The supposed “fire” that the two always carried with them, even if their hands were empty, the man’s acceptance that they are low on food and could run out any day, resulting in their slow and painful death from starvation, and the boy’s lack of prejudice whenever they came across a new person who could be a potential danger to their life. It’s mainly a reflection on the highest level, self-actualization, but there is also the occasional instance on them also reflecting the esteem level, depending on the perspective one would look on the instance. It shows that they have their own needs, which could very well be different that the rest of the world’s needs, which is mainly food and

We were all encouraged to choke down as much food as possible. Any kind of energy was essential. A melancholy atmosphere hung heavy as the journey progressed. Minutes walking slowly progressed into hours, the sky seemed to darken steadily. All of us were oblivious to the danger shrouded by the dim evening. Only moments after scaling a rather steep ledge did nature dice to turn sour. A deafening rumble made each climber perk up. Snow began to descend at an alarming rate. Thunder began to mic the steady beating of a drum, causing more concern among the ranks of climbers. The powdery snow became more of a risk than ever, climbing under pressure and leaving nothing to stand on. Third base was more than three hours away. Three hours wasn't possible at the rate. Snowfall this bad could be detrimental to the climb’s success. Snow obscured vision and numbed faces. Shouts and orders deemed lost in the screaming wind; people’s figure became shapeless blurs frantically shifting, hoping if they struggled against the wind hard enough, they might find someone. Of course, this was to no avail. Not a single person doubted their demise would come at this point: the stakes were high and no-one could play too well against Mother Nature. The snow crept up to knee-level, making it harder and harder to travel. Death and I were face-to-face. To some, they couldn't bare the idea of dying up here; they had families and friends, children who need parents and

Characters change in good ways and the book itself shows the readers how something terrible changes people, even real life. Parents will always say to their little children “little things matter so help”, Mrs.Reffel, also they would told them in desperate measures help anyone that needs it. In The Killing Sea, Sarah was a little brat, she thought that she was the center of attention and didn’t care about anyone, only herself. When the disaster hit Indonesia, where she went for vacation, something in her says, “We need to change to survive”. Sometimes the world needs to lose something valuable to know they have a lot things that they do not say “Thank you” for. Sarah lost her mom, after she saw her mom dead, she changed. She helped Peter and a whole lot of strangers, and when they were going to a conference to know her story, she decided to wear a scarf, because where she is that is their tradition. Remember that you don’t need to lose something that is important in your life to change and help other

They live in a stressful situation, but both hold it firm and lived through it. Their stories had taught a new generation a lesson that life was not easy as thought. Sometime it could be difficult to manage like both characters’ lives happened in the story. They were not crazy, but they were strong enough to live through their stress. Life sometime is unpredictable, but learning how to understand of the change could be a tool helping us to challenge our

The first thing learned is that poverty is a way of life for these children. Although they know they are poor, it doesn't bother them because everyone there is poor. It's okay to be without when there isn't any competition. An example of this is seen when the children talk of their study areas at home. Only one of them actually have a desk and paper, and the others think nothing of it. Instead they tell her to shut up about it. The children are proud of themselves and of their life.

It couldnt have been a worse time, especially for the children. Being sent home by their teachers, school children began walking the routes that they would walk everyday. That day the cold front was rushing through bringing ice and snow along with it. The children, wearing nothing but mere under clothing, had no way to keep warm from the

“Well, and I suppose that means you do not want to work on the land and I shall not have a son on my own land, and I with sons and to spare.’ This he said with bitterness, but the boy said nothing” This conversation between him and his son made him finally realize that they wouldn’t carry on their father’s great values, and that is because during the time he was rich he left some traditions behind. Wang lung valued his land and above all he had faith in his gods once again. Traditional values were forgotten by the result of wealthy living, the kids not caring about the farmlands and not understanding the earth gods prove that wealth destroyed ancient traditions.

What was their passion, what is it that they wanted to produce that was good for them. He was no longer the boss, he was there to serve and listen. He stated that, “the passion that the person has for their own growth is the most important thing. We help them to find the knowledge because nobody in the world can succeed alone.” The person can have so many things they want to do, sometimes doing it alone is going to be a problem and that’s where he came in. He refers to them as his children, parents want to see their child succeed so they’ll help guide them. He was being different from the rest, he didn’t do it for the fame he did it to better their lives economically and

(65). The man’s unruffled attitude towards the dangerous conditions of Yukon shows his overconfidence in his abilities to withstand them. Most people would refrain from hiking in such a cold, dark environment, for it is unsafe to do so. The man, however, recognizes the subzero, sunless environment around him and disparages it. The motive behind the man’s adventure in Yukon is unknown, but through analyzing his thoughts and actions, it’s plausible that he wants to show he can survive these conditions to increase his pride and

Ma and Luo got sent to rural China to be re-educated during China’s Maoist revolution. Ma’s parents are both doctors that work in a hospital. Luo’s father is a dentist. Both families were denounced and were found to be enemies of the state. Luo’s father was denounced because he talked about fixing Mao’s teeth. Ma and Luo feel trapped in the rural area and often hope that one day they will be allowed to leave and go back to the city and their family. Although they wish to return home and they work hard the boys enjoy parts of the experience. They come to understand that even though people may not be as intelligent as them that they can still appreciate the art and what they are doing. The boys feel like they will always be stuck in the village unable to return and hopeless for the

He constantly decided how cold it was and how he didn’t like to be as cold as he was. Inevitably, the psychological factors wore his mind and soul down to make him only think how cold he was. By the end of his situation, any warmth, whether by the sleep of death or fire, was all the man could think about. Without any imagination to focus his thoughts elsewhere, the man helped himself collapse into his final doom.

At the time Nujood’s family was living in Khardji. This town was very secluded and Nujood referred to it as microscopic. Ironically, this is where she felt at peace and happy. Her daily routine would be to go out to the river and play with the other children. The girls didn’t go to school because the walking route was about two hours away and her father did not the girls to venture out by themselves. So the women in her family were illiterate. It seemed like none of these setbacks bothered the family though. The men would go work out in the fields while her brothers went to school. Her brothers would gather branches after school to prepare the fire for their clay oven. Her mother and two older sisters would go out into the river to fetch water, clean pots and prepared the meal for the family. Nujood couldn’t wait till she was older so she could be with her mother and sisters. The family had a well working system and was living a simple life. That all changed when Nujood was about two or three. Their family had a scandal on their hands and
