.... This Jewish faith initiated hope and initiative. It can also be seen that factors other than s Jewish faith enabled her to survival throughout her ordeal. This statement is evident in both situations, when s life was spared by the German soldier due to her beautiful hair as well as when she admitted that "If mother were to died, I won't be able to maintain my will to survive". Without s continual enthusiasm towards the observance of Jewish festivals, she would have had absolutely nothing to look forward to and in-turn it would have eventuated in a loss of faith and maybe even death. Without a doubt, this characteristic of hers was imperative for her survival. .....

Santiago found comfort in the animals surrounding, such as the fish, the birds, and the turtles. “He was very fond of flying fish as they were his principal friends in the ocean” (29.)

.... though he was poor, he did not show he was ashamed of it. Although he didn't know why people turned their heads when they saw him. Gregory was very proud of his money-making schemes, but he didn't realize the work he was doing was very degrading. Another example of Gregory's ignorance is his attitude towards the teacher. When he explained about his seat in the class, it gave me the impression that he was very proud of it. Gregory then talks about how he thought that the teacher loved him. It's a shame that he didn't realize everyone felt sorry for him. It was Gregory's ignorance that caused him to feel humility, but it was his teacher that made .....
