Abstract
The paper relates that Henrietta Stockel's book is both a history of the conflict between Whites and native peoples and a medical analysis of the history of disease and early American medicine. The paper explains the author's thesis that the Chiricahua Apaches tribes were destroyed by disease and cultural eradication by the American government. The paper portrays Stockel's idea removing a tribe from its native soul is not merely an act of injustice, or cultural violence, but also medical and biological cruelty.
From the Paper
"When detailing the terrible effects of White civilization upon the Chiricahua, Stockel connects the native susceptibility to disease from their original dwellings to their suffering from numerous maladies while imprisoned as what she calls captives of war of the American government. The book details a kind of fall from Eden for the Chiricahua, from their early roots and culture, closely connected to their native soil, to what transpired afterwards, after the military defeat of Geronimo. The first chapters of Stockel's book describe the Southwestern Chiricahua Apaches tribes and their traditions before they met the Anglos, focusing especially their mastery of natural medicines and herbs particular to the hot, dry regions where they lived."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Gileadean society assimilates and controls its inhabitants by controlling language in the novel by Canadian author, Margaret Atwood. This paper uses a New Critical theory to examine the text of "A Handmaid's Tale" to explore what makes Gilead so effective, and why Offred is able to survive and escape when others, who seem to be stronger, cannot.
From the Paper
"Another division of communication is the auditory or spoken. The Republic of Gilead, like any other changing society, developed its own specific vocabulary that works effectively to assimilate a people into the culture. The vocabulary ranges from the names of certain events like Prayvaganzas, which are mass weddings, to Salvagings, which are executions, or particutions, which are also executions, but ones in which the Handmaids are able to participate. The vocabulary extends to the names given to the class distinctions within the society: Marthas, Handmaids, Commanders, Guardians, Angels, Aunts and Eyes."

Abstract
Sara Tuvel Bernstein's memoir, "The Seamstress: A Memoir of Survival", is one of the most memorable of first-person accounts of survival during the Holocaust. The book is well-told by the late Bernstein and deserves a prominent place in the archive of Holocaust survival stories. In 1944, she was transported with her sister and two friends to the Ravensbruck concentration camp. In a moving afterward, Seren's daughter describes her mother's strong personality. Published posthumously, Bernstein's work evolved literally thread by thread as she worked in her sewing room, methodically recording her tale of survival during the Holocaust.

"Survival in Auschwitz", 2008.
A review of Primo Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz".

Abstract
This paper examines Primo Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz", which describes his personal experiences in the Auschwitz concentration camp. It discusses how, for Primo Levi, the strength and tenacity to withstand the terrors of the death camps had much to do with his physical and mental stamina, his scientific background as a chemist and perhaps his personal religious beliefs, which certainly helped other Jews to survive.
From the Paper
"Without a doubt, Levi did indeed possess great luck, good, sturdy health and much spiritual strength upon entering Auschwitz and certainly retained these traits when he was released in 1945. Physically, Levi was a rather small man but possessed much body mass and strength as a result of climbing mountains as a hobby. He once declared that he "learned the virtues of resistance, endurance and sustenance in the mountains" and admitted that without these "virtues" he would not have been able to survive the death camp at Auschwitz (Pytell, "The Grey Zone: Viktor Frankl's Auschwitz"). Clearly, as a denizen of the Auschwitzian version of "Hell on Earth," Levi found himself dependent on these "virtues" in order to endure and overcome the horrible conditions at the camp and the never-ending taunting and coarse discipline of his Nazi inquisitors.

Primo Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz", 2004.
Summary and analysis of Primo Levi's book about his experience in a Nazi extermination camp, "Survival in Auschwitz".

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic of the Holocaust and how Primo Levi survived his imprisonment in Auschwitz. Specifically, it answers the questions: What perspective does Levi provide on day-to-day survival within Auschwitz? Was there order amidst the chaos of mass murder?
From the Paper
"Primo Levi was one of the lucky few who survived the horrific prison camp of Auschwitz operated by the Nazis with the sole purpose of exterminating as many Jews as possible. Levi opens his book with the statement, "It was my good fortune to be deported to Auschwitz only in 1944, that is, after the German Government had decided, owing to the growing scarcity of labor, to lengthen the average life span of the prisoners destined for elimination" (Levi 9). Initially, this opening sentence in the Preface not only illustrates the strength of the man who the reader will come to know throughout the book, but his essential optimism, which is one of the many things that ultimately helped him survive his nine months in the world's most notorious Nazi prison camp. As the book unfolds, the traits necessary to survive become quite obvious, and Levi's trait of optimism even in the pit of despair is one of the things that helped pull him through, and helped many others survive, too."

Abstract
The author uses Primo Levi's autobiography, "Survival in Auschwitz," to describe the everyday life of a prisoner in the Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz. The author gives a brief biography of Primo Levi, and describes how he ended up at Auschwitz, including his experiences on the train ride from Italy. Some of the issues discussed are the day-to-day activities in the camp, and how Levi actually managed to survive the horror in which he was living.
From the Paper
"Yet another element in his survival was his friendship with two Italians, Alberto, a fellow H?ftling, and Lorenzo, an Italian civilian worker at the Buna installation whom Levi met by chance. Levi was assigned to Alfredo's block after a two-week stay in the Ka-Be (sick house.) Levi and Alberto shared rations and supported each other in their quest for survival. Lorenzo's friendship was of even greater importance. Lorenzo became Levi's protector and brought him a piece of bread and what was left of his ration every day for six months. Lorenzo's conduct was atypical of the civilian behavior toward the H?ftlinge in the camp. The civilians saw the degraded and disfigured slaves as deserving of their fate even when they threw them potatoes or bread. Above all, Lorenzo treated Levi as a human being, and it was that treatment which Levi believes kept him alive."

Abstract
This paper reviews "Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East," a collection of biographies of twenty-four Middle Eastern men and women, edited by Edmund Burket.

The paper explains that the book is organized chronologically, tracing the history of the Middle East through the biographies. The paper provides a synopsis of several of these biographies and looks for commonalities, even among the diversity of stories.
From the Paper
"Hibgo, an American truck driver, lived his life in Middle East and ended in United States. He started his challenging job of truck driving in iran by developing his own grop of drivers. The challenging nature of the truck driving profession in Iran during this formative period necessitated a truck driver's involvement in a guild. The guild served a variety of crucial needs through a network of shared information and credit based on mutual trust. In the 1930s Hagob became part of a guild consisting of Armenian and Assyrian members, who maintained their ties for decades. He and the others proudly wore their guild's insignia, a jeweler's handcrafted replica of the front portion of a transport vehicle."

"Budgeting time wisely every night is an important part of maturity. But you must also budget your time over the semester. Don't try to have too many extracurricular activities scheduled, until you are sure you can handle the work level of your course load. Have a semester-long planner and don't just focus on assignments from a day-to-day basis. Know when long, large projects are due, and if these projects conflict. Know how to prioritize certain projects, when feeling overwhelmed. Assigning the tasks you need to complete each day a letter value can be helpful--is the task "A" (very important) "B" (somewhat important) or "C" (can be put off until a less busy day)?"

From the Paper
"The elements necessary for survival in extreme environments are much the same for survival in a conventional one. Without water, shelter and food death is imminent. However, one essential difference separates the two. In conventional environments the resources are plenty and quite accessible. In extreme environments resources are harder to find and are more difficult to exploit. Following are suggestions and strategies to survive in the desert, in the arctic, in the tropics and at sea. These suggestions primarily focus on the location..."

Abstract
This paper examines the effects of the "concentration camp universe" on Primo Levi's perception of time and on his writing by presenting a close reading of the first full paragraph Chapter 12, "The Events of the Summer."
From the Paper
"Chapter 12, "The Events of Summer", deals with the fact that Levi has survived over five months; he is now a veteran of the camp. Levi is fully immersed in the "concentration camp universe." The outside world is all but gone meaning that all confines of the outside world are likewise gone. Levi does not have freedom; he does not have the same attachments to the things that are important outside the camps. Such things as honesty or bathing or everything else that is taken for granted by people not in the position as these men are all but forgotten. Levi no longer identifies with other people. He considers them to be living while he is dead. "

From the Paper
"This report reviews two books describing personal experiences in Nazi concentration camps during World War II: Night, by Elie Wiesel, and Survival in Auschwitz, by Primo Levi. Both books convey similar horror stories about the Holocaust. The stories of the two men will be compared, and the styles and treatment of the subject will be contrasted.
Wiesel's account of experiences in Auschwitz and Buchenwald and a few points in between projects a family focus. His youth was undoubtedly a factor in his perspective: he was only twelve when Jews in his Hungarian town of Sighet were initially rounded up for slaughter, and only fourteen when he and his family were shipped to Auschwitz. Wiesel recalls the attitudes of the townspeople when the first stories of mass genocide reached their ears -- overwhelmingly, the stories were met with disbelief and ... "
