Question

There is a word used in The Call of the Wild that describes Buck's character very well. He is "resilient," which means being able to recover from difficulty quickly. Write a paragraph describing ways in which you are "resilient," and explain how you have faced and recovered from difficulties in your own life.

Your response should be at least 150 words in length.

Answer 1

I am resilient because I can power through any obstacle that comes my way. Life is hard, not everything turns out how you want it to, but I still push harder everyday. Resilience requires mental strength, I can go through a snowstorm and as long as I have a mental motivation I will succeed. That is what I tell myself but it might not work every time. I was raised to be strong as an oak tree but also flexible as a willow tree. I can adapt to my situation and if anyone gets in my way they better watch their backs. One time me and my mom went shopping and I got separated from her I looked and looked but could not find her and I knew she was looking for me too. I went out to a worker and told her I could not find my mom. She asked what my name was and what my mom’s name was, I told her, and she went on the sound system and said Mrs. #######(mom's name) please come to the entrance of the building, Ms. ####(kids name/your name) is waiting for you. Then a minute later she came and we went back home.

This is really bad writing but I hope it helps.

Answer 2

rise above difficult situations in life and take control of the situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

I learned the quality of being resilient from my grandpa who really had a tough life growing up and starting a family. Since very young, my grandpa would tell me how important it is to rise above difficult situations in life and take control of the situation. Today, as I've become older, I've become more resilient to all the odds that life throws at me. I can think of ways to remain hopeful and channel all my energy into doing something different whenever my plans fail or things don't work out. I also firmly believe that nothing lasts forever and that all difficulties would eventually come to an end. Its important to always have the right attitude.

Once I applied for our school's soccer team because I really loved playing soccer. However, after few months I had to withdraw from playing soccer because I badly injured by knees in an accident. Doctors said that I shouldn't play soccer or any other outdoor sports for about a year. It was a really devastating news because I was so close to playing for our school team at the inter-school soccer league. For about a week I felt really bad and unfortunate. But then, I remembered what grandpa had always told me. So I channeled all my energy and time into painting and it has really helped me learn a lot about artistry. In fact, I've been placed third in an amateur painting competition held by the East Trail Society.
