In paragraph one, describe the narrator's experience and struggle to survive that experience. Citing evidence, explain how the narrator's perspective finally changes. In paragraph two, reflect on a more personal level about what is suggested about survival after a traumatic experience, or what can be learned from the narrator's experience about human survival? (i. e. Can a person completely be the "same" after something painful or traumatic, or does it simply change us and we have to find ways to move on?)
