- Examine the acts of resilience and courage displayed by Lauren Olamina, her relatives, and her neighbors. Discuss how they coped with adversity and persevered in the face of dire circumstances. Reflect on the lessons of resilience that can be learned from their experiences. Explain your overall assessment of the tone of the book (despair, hope, optimistic, pessimistic, etc.).
