    Another character trait that I would use to describe Salva is that he is a very worryful person who seems to worry about a lot of things that others may not be concerned about. This is evident because in the book, Slava was worried about his family: if they were injured or killed or if they were taken to help fight the war and he was worried if he’d ever see them again. He was also worried about being eaten by a lion which was very unlikely because his uncle and others learned from that. He also worried that he won’t make it to the camp when he chipped his nail and needed the reassurance of his uncle, that he was alone when his old group left him although he found a old woman to live with and he was worried that they wouldn’t make it when his…

    The Athenians had fled to Salamis after the Battle of Thermopylae in August, 480 BC, while the Persians occupied and burned their city. The Greek fleet joined them there in August after the indecisive Battle of Artemisium. The Spartans wanted to return to the Peloponnese, seal off the Isthmus of Corinth with a wall, and prevent the Persians from defeating them on land, but the Athenian commander Themistocles persuaded them to remain at Salamis, arguing that a wall across the Isthmus was pointless as long as the Persian army could be transported and supplied by the Persian navy. His argument depended on a particular interpretation of the oracle at Delphi, which, in typical Delphic ambiguity, prophesized that Salamis would "bring death to women's…

    Awareness in resilience means to be aware of the situation one is currently in, one’s own reactions and the behavior of others. In Unbroken, written by Laura Hillenbrand, the main character, Louie, was faced with starvation and becoming mentally insane. Because of Louie’s awareness, he prolonged three lives (including his own), broke a record of being stranded at sea and created inspiration for people all over the United States. When one is stranded at sea, starvation is a huge dilemma they need to cope with throughout their time alone.
