Enduring and persevering through the snares of life is not always easy. Perseverance is not giving up despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. In the novel Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, the characters face troubles and difficult situations. Louie in particular does not give up although all hope seems lost. Louie exemplifies perseverance through his experience in Olympic running, in the army, and in the ocean.

A little boy scavenges in a dumpster in an alley, desperate for food. Separated from his family, he is lost on the streets of Calcutta.

Imagine: A young boy scavenges for food to provide for his impoverished family which was composed of his ill mother and starving siblings or a homeless, single mom desperatley seeking for shelter. These synopses from "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt and "The Street" by Ann Petry share a common theme: perseverance through hardships. In "Angela's Ashes," a memoir by Frank McCourt, he stells about the harships he endured through his childhood, such as, struggling to assist his family in the midst of poverty by stealing food to provide for them. Futhermore, in "The Street," a novel by Ann Petry, tells the story of young Lutie Johnson, a homeless single mom who is seeking shelter for herself and her children. In these two excerpts, the authors use the characters, settings, and events to develop the theme, which I've identified as perseverance through hardships.

Perseverance A Long Walk To Water by Linda Sue Park is a dual narrative about a civil war in Sudan between the Nuer and Dinka Tribes. It shows the hardships that a child from both tribes live their every day. Thomas Edison once said, “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeeding when they gave up”. This quote reminds me of the hardships Salva faces. Though he faces many hardships he doesn’t stop.

It’s mid day, and the sun is scorching hot as always. You are in the graveyard digging up bones for money. You don’t want to but you have to for your family. All you can think of is the skulls, previously attached to faces, staring back at you as you are selling them for money, to get turned into to chicken broth and other items.

Not only did she have to live alongside the Indians as a prisoner, but she was also captured and separated from her children. In The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Equiano and his sister were kidnapped and traded among various households as servants. Every time Equiano managed to ease the pain, he was deprived from the alleviation, such as the time he was separated from his sister. Both authors suffered a great amount due to the fact that they lost important people in their lives and were filled with terror at the mere thought of being held captive. The difference between these two stories is the means they use to try to overcome their obstacles.

In "How Can I Call This My Home" by Lee Chew, many aspects of his autobiography are surprising, if not shocking. First, to realize how rural China is during this time period compared to the United States relates to how the Chinese were cut off from Western society by governmental choice and how that prohibited them from moving into the Industrial Age until much later than the United States and other Western nations. Additionally, Lee Chew's description of the wealth the man from his village had when he came back from America and how that made him decide to proceed to America was interesting, for even though most Chinese came to the United States for economic gain most did not achieve it in the sense that that man did, and that he, unlike Lee

Has anyone lived a life without misfortune? Doubtable; even the person with what could be described as the ideal life deals with some form of adversity.
