Survival

The definition of survival is the act or process of surviving or the fact of having survived, according to an online dictionary. This was the most interesting definition I could find.

A good quote about survival is "Survivors aren't always the strongest; sometimes they're the smartest, but more often simply the luckiest." -Carrie Ryan, The Dark and Hollow Places.

The best poem I could find is "How We Survive" by Mark Rickerby:

"Somehow, some survive all that and, like a flower opening after a storm, they slowly begin to remember the one they lost in a different way..."

The best book I've read about survival is "Surviving Sydney Cove". It's about a girl convict named Elizabeth who was transported to Australia after being falsely accused of stealing an expensive dress. She swapped two onions for a blank book which she uses as a diary. She helps a lady named Sarah in the kitchen of a rich man. Lizzie works for a while with Sarah, but she soon gets a new job looking after a 5yr old girl named Emily. After a while Lizzie moves to Sydney with Emily and her family, the Surgent and Winston. The crops failed and there wasn't enough food to feed all of Sydney and everyone was very hungry. The little girl, Emily died a year after they moved to Sydney so Lizzie lost her job and had to go back to Parramatta and the Surgent and Winston went back to England. This book shows how a girl had to survive through many hardships such as starvation, sickness, danger, and death.

I found a good verse in 2 Samuel 22:33 "God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect." I believe if you follow this verses it will help you survive through life.
