Author's Note: I wrote this piece to display my knowledge about theme. I wrote about the book A Killing Frost
Have you ever had to run around and try to survive with a couple friends in the middle of a full force war? If that were to happen to you would you want to survive alone with a couple of friends or give yourself up? In A Killing Frost , by John Marsden Ellie and her friends have that choice. Ellie chooses to fight off the invaders and survive with barely anything in the middle of the winter. Survival is a very hard thing but can be overcome by sticking with people and fighting your way through it.

Survival is a very difficult
obstacle to overcome. Ellie and her friends are stuck in the middle of a war in
the middle of the winter when an enemy invades her land. An enemy is in the way
of a normal life with her family in friends and she can’t do much about. The
group of kids try to help and have succeeded in many occasions. They break into
stores to find ingredients for bombs and food and water.
Breaking into stores is a
more modern day way of survival. Some times in the inner city families are so
desperate for food and water that the rob stores. Other times they rob banks
for money to buy those things themselves. Even though that is against the law
they still do it because they need to survive. The people don’t think about it
at the time but they realize during or after the robbery that what they done
was wrong, but still needs the supplies to survive so they’ll admit it but give
the food to their family to live.
Another story that has
survival as the theme is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. In that
Katniss gets picked to be in the Hunger Games. She tries so hard to survive for
her sister. Katniss fights through hunger, pain and sorrow to survive. Also, in
The Fighting Ground by Avi one of the themes is survival. In The
Fighting Ground Jonathan runs away from his family and has to survive with
German’s who speak no English. Jonathan finds a way to survive by getting
refreshments by milking the cow and they find a pantry with food in it.
Survival is a very serious
thing that can make you or break you. Ellie learns to deal with it and it molds
her into the person she is.
