Paige’s Guide to Staying Alive: Crucial Tips for Survival
Tip Number 1! When in any survival situation, secure shelter from the elements (and the dead happen to walk) is a vital key to staying alive. Many school cafeteria kitchens are equipped with sturdy latched doors, a bolted walk in freezer, and steel shutters that slide down to seal the serving window. Besides, cafeterias serve hundreds of kids every single day! Trust me, I’ve worked in one. Food, there will be.
Tip Number 2! The tools a person brings can make or break the chances of living, so here’s what will keep you alive. First, a crowbar. Used for prying open tough places, breaking windows, or impaling the undead in their one-track brains, the crowbar is most versatile. Second,
According to his biography, Ernest J. Gaines grew up in Oscar, Louisiana on a plantation in the 1930s. He worked picking potatoes for 50 cents a day, and in turn used his experiences to write six books, including A Lesson Before Dying. While the novel is fictional, it is based on the hardships faced by blacks in a post Civil War South, under Jim Crow and 'de jure' segregation. In A Lesson Before Dying, the main story line is a sad tale in which a young black man named Jefferson, is wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death. Grant Wiggins, a teacher, is persuaded by Jefferson's grandmother Miss Emma to help Jefferson become a man before his execution. The struggle for Grant to get Jefferson to cooperate, and Grant's own internal development are the main plot-points; however, the background commentary on systems of racism is the main theme.
Choosing the right weapon can make a difference between a dead zombie or becoming one yourself. Always keep a weapon on you or around you at all times. Maybe even more than one. Some weapons include a gun, knife, bow and arrow, and any sharp object any item around you could mean life or death. Fighting a zombie is not only dangerous but it’s suicidal. If your weapons are out of reach you will have to fight them off. Use blankets and pillows to wrap your legs, torso, and arms so it is harder for the zombies to get
A Lesson before Dying, one of Ernest J. Gaines later works, was written in 1993. Some of his earlier works include A Gathering of Old Men and In My Father’s House. The novel covers a time period when blacks were still treated unfairly and looked down upon. Jefferson, a main character, has been wrongly accused of a crime and awaits his execution in jail. Grant, the story’s main protagonist must find it within himself to help Jefferson see that he is a man, which will allow him to walk bravely to his fate that lies in the execution chair. A Lesson before Dying captures the tale of a young teacher, who by helping another mistakenly finds his own soul. This paper explains the literary background of Gaines, facts about the novel, literary criticism, film reviews, social issues of the time, and a personal analysis of the movie.

Have you ever thought about wanting to die early? Well for Ezekiel J Emanuel this is completely the case. In his paper he describes why he doesn’t really want to live past the age of 75 as well as the reasoning and the facts to why living past the age of 75 is detrimental to society as well not really a life at all.

To solve this problem, we need the cafeteria to be open more hours. If it is because of the need of workers in those other times, it is a big change that even students won't mind to work in the cafeteria to have it open for longer hours. Another idea would be to have longer hours open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even if it is not open for the whole day, longer hours might allow more comfort ability for everyone. We know that with out food, one cannot concentrate in their studies, nor perform their work well.
For most people, survival is just a matter of putting food on the table, making sure that the house payment is in on time, and remembering to put on that big winter coat. Prisoners in the holocaust did not have to worry about such things. Their food, cloths, and shelter were all provided for them. Unfortunately, there was never enough food, never sufficient shelter, and the cloths were never good enough. The methods of survival portrayed in the novels Maus by Art Spieglmen and Night by Elie Wiesel are distinctly different, but undeniably similar.
Students need to know where to go if they are out of the classroom when a lockdown is implemented. Teachers need to know how to lock doors and keep kids safe. You may need to install secure locks or automatic locking systems. If your school has the budget, you may want to upgrade to stronger doors and windows that help seal off individual parts of the building.
As Francis Bacon once said, “A healthy body is a guest chamber for the soul; a sick body is a prison” (Quote World). In his quote, Bacon explains how people should relieve their stress in order to live a healthy life. By the use of this quote, it is used to represent how people should not be obsessed with their health habits. Henceforth, should people be captivated with their health habits? In Stephen Leacock’s essay, “How to Live to be 200”, Leacock’s arguments are compelling because he develops a sarcastic tone by making satirical statements, and uses rhetorical devices, allowing readers to draw personal connections.

A chance between life and death, that is survival, or maybe it is just to be alive or exist. Through many circumstances and major events in history survival has been tested? Through each circumstance something has occurred to help people or people have relied on something to survive. I investigated this through my questions: How does environment affect survival? Does the idea of survival change depending on different circumstances and how? What is the most important aspect to consider if you are trapped in a deadly situation? With these questions I looked for links in my chosen texts. Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Schindler’s list directed by Steven Spielberg, Left 4 dead 2-game based on survival, Survival and The Romanian babies by Iris Tennent.
