Unit 1 Performance Task Tier 3

Akira Hollingsworth October 29, 2012

The main adversity Jonas had to deal with was the burden of knowing things no one else understood such as war and death. Also,he was trying to figure out if he should stay with the community and his family living a shallow life or should he run away where he could live a full life with Gabrielle.

Jonas overcame this adversity by gaining knowledge from the Giver and being able to break away from the controlled society that he knew.

The main adversity Ruth had to deal with was thinking that her and her family were not going to make it off the ship alive.

She overcame this adversity by quickly getting to the main deck with her children, and safely being put on a life boat.

Jimmy's adversity was being a professional bank robber.

Jimmy over comes this adversity by later marring the banks owners daughter.

My final conclusion is that even thought each character had a problem they ALL found a solution the ultimately change the life's path.
