Answer:
The people of Paradise are resilient in their refusal to give in to the force of nature and its aftermath and rather decide to rebuild their lives from scratch.
Step-by-step explanation:
The article "Our Beautiful Town is Gone" is about the great fire that ravaged the town of Paradise in California in what is regarded as the deadliest forest fire in the history of California. It also provides an account of the citizens during and after the fire, and how they are rebuilding their lives after the disaster.
Lucas's mom Holly simply states that "It’s the people that make a town" which seems to suggest that the fire had not diminished their spirit and their sense of community. Despite the fire damaging most of their homes and properties, they refused to give up and relocate to another town or place. Rather, they came back to their homes, rebuilding their lives from scratch and helping each other. This is the "resilience" that Holly was talking about, the zeal to move on and not give up despite the severity of the damage done to them, the whole town of Paradise.
