wake of circumstances that are life-threatening and arguably life-terminating Introduction The three readings are all representations of survival amidst catastrophic circumstances. In the reading Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl, the writer depicts the terrible circumstances of prisoners of war incarcerated in the concentration camps under the SS guards. The prisoners move from one camp to another, working under appalling conditions where several of them succumb to various atrocities. The writer holds unto the inborn optimism, especially in the notorious Auschwitz camp, until he finally lives to tell the experiences. Moreover, Andrew Zolli’s ‘Resilient Mind’ is another masterwork featuring four children popularly known as the ‘Lingfield Four.’ These children are equally victims of war, in which case their parents disappear in the concentration camps and are left under the care of captives of war at Terezin and Auschwitz.

The book of ‘The life You Can Save’ The book of ‘The life You Can Save’ is a book by Peter Singer that has focused on inspiring the population. According to the author of the book, the community should be guided by good deeds, especially to those who live in extreme poverty. The individuals only require offering help to any person in need despite the circumstances that are presented. There is an example of a situation that is presented by the author, the position of a drowning child. The writer poses a question on whether a person should consider saving the life of a child or other factors like dressing or heading to working.
