Answer:
1. To overcome adversity, one should never give up, but must continue working hard to conquer the challenge.
2. Chris took the fact that he will never walk again in his stride. This means that he calmly accepted the situation. When we find ourselves in unforeseen situations, we should calmly accept what life throws at us and seek to make the best out of it.
Step-by-step explanation:
In "Sometimes a dream needs a push," by Walter Dean Myers, Chris, the son of Jim Blair, calmly accepted the fact that he would never walk again after an accident in his parents' car. He did not go on lamenting and grumbling about his situation. This attitude made him willing to accept the chance of playing basketball in a wheelchair and making the best of it.
This serves as a lesson to never allow ourselves to be overcome by the challenges and trials we face in life. We should calmly accept them and seek to make the best of these problems.
