There are several ways of showing the change on the thought of survival through out the conversation after understanding of the text and our unit's on survival. To begin with, after this lesson I understand some decision was made was not selfish because in some situation you can only give others life. In order to at least save yourself  because there is a high percentage that you will die if you want to save other. Therefore at least you have decrease the percentage of death. Furthermore, through survival it's hard to make decision that you would like everyone to be alive but in this world some have to die or else we will be overpopulated. People will be lack of environment and etc. This also count as part of nature that someone have to die and it sound cruel. According to the text Leap the mother have to give up her husband during the disaster to save their baby. This disaster was cause by nature and it mean it all due to nature that someone has to die. Also the mother give up her husband because she want to save this baby who are alive not doing nonsense. To give up life and also include the baby's just for their love. Finally, love although is important but this baby who had not see the world is more  expect it to see the world for a chance. This baby also represented their love.  It kind of balance it out. This is what I have learned from this lesson and text that I show off through the conversation.

Once I watch a movie that is about love and war. The main character is a man who is a genius on planing wars.  In an age of 25 he met a girl and fell in love with her and got married.  Then one day his enemy kidnapped his wife. He did not notice but the director create a foreshadowing of this man had a weird feeling. After that a soldier come and said his wife has been kidnapped. From this the director want to give us an head up on something bad will happen. Also, very effective to this story and therefore he gave up his life for his wife. Which we also can conclude passion can let people give up everything except it. Clearly, foreshadowing builds up tension and catch our thoughts and will also lead us to the end of the story.
