7 and 1/2 Americans (Gr. 2 Sect. 19)
Today we talked about the philosophy behind not reacting to things in order to survive in a stoic manner. The example from the book was that of an island inhabited by savages who had to learn to get along and cope with what they had. We didn't really understand what they were talking about that much but we decided the only logical meaning of the example was to symbolize the harshest conditions where a person would most likely be put to the ultimate test of self control and self preservation.
