Human Survival In Ed Sheeren's Song A Team

Improved Essays
I believe that both of these are linked to the theme of hope the essential to human survival because both of these stories had people who didn't have hope. Lets talk about the song A team by Ed Sheeren first. This girl had hope in herself to keep living even though at the end well she kind of died. But, she kind of would do anything to sell herself to to get money or drugs. That is kind of what she lived for sadly thats my understanding of that song by Ed Sheeren. But, also I think she kind of had hope to live her life before she died because she knew she wasn't going to live long since she was homeless and jobless in my opinion. In the beginning it was kind of suspicious because there was a lady who was looking down on her crying. If i was that lady I would …show more content…
Also when the main character of the music video woke up she had the hope to wake up and go find herself a life and enjoy it even though she wasn't the most wealthiest. She had hope to go out and explore. Also she had the hope and confidence to try amd even make herself a job by handing out magizenes she wanted to keep living she had the hope. Now at the very very end where she well dies I think that she bought those pills on purpose to kill herself. By the end I think she just had enough of everything in life no hope was left for her she thought so thats why she killed herself. If she had hope in herself and hope for her future then she would use that money from the man and use it towards food and stuff but instead she ran out of hope and waisted it on drugs which is stupid. That song just explains the whole explanation that hope is the essential of human survival because at the beginning she had so much hope to just build a new life and be a new person and discover things and get a job but when she went to the city and realized she couldn't live her life on selling newspapers and magizenes she just lost all of that hope that she had at the

Robert Schuller´s quote sums up the moral of the story in both Ordinary People and Lord of the Flies about how people will become stronger through the tough situation or how tough situations expose people's weaknesses.

    Canadian Novelist, Ernest Buckler, is a much better writer than British writer Mary McCluskey. I believe this can be proven when one compares the short stories "Penny in the Dust," by Buckler, and "Gifts to the Dark Gods, " written by McCluskey. " Penny in the Dust" is about a man 's memories of his father when he was child, and how he learned that his father loved him.
