Please read “Strength in what remains”, It is very important. Thanks for helping me.
Background: Strength in What Remains is Tracy Kidder’s moving, non-fiction account of Deogratias’ tale, as a survivor of
genocide in Burundi and Rwanda and also as a survivor of homelessness, poverty, and cultural conflicts in his adopted
country of America. When Deo fled his homeland of Burundi in 1994, he barely understood what he was leaving behind, and
he had no idea of what he would face in his destination city, New York. As readers grasp what poverty in New York City
means and how genocide in Africa affects those victimized by it, Deo’s tale of survival, and eventual triumph, becomes
even more astounding. We are further uplifted by his continued efforts to heal, not only himself, but his community. And
as readers we are compelled to revisit our own myths of America, our role as American citizens or inhabitants, and our
role as citizens of the world. And ultimately, we find ourselves re-examining our course themes: human rights, identity,
and the role of the individual in maintaining dignity.
Your Task: In a 5-6 page essay, respond to the following prompt
Given that Deo overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles in both Africa and the United States, we are inclined to
wonder how he managed to survive against all odds and to what extent luck, providence, or even fate played in this
outcome. We may consider the luck he has in the people he meets, the luck he has in his harrowing tale of escape, the
luck he has in moving on with his life even after suffering both physical and emotional damage. But we may also consider
what makes him exceptional, what draws people to him, what motivates him to continue, where he takes his strength, and
the choices he makes to determine his life path. To what do you attribute Deo’s survival and success? Is the luck Deo
experiences simply related to the randomness of events that occur in the universe, or is there something about Deo’s
character or circumstances that invites this luck into his life?
