A Challenge

Often at times, people are pressured to do things that would have otherwised deemed an atrocity for their own or other's safety. In Niska's reflection, several events take place that are of importance. Firstly, one of Niska's friends, a mother, a father and their son. When the family goes out to the woods but find no food, the family is put in a tight position. The father desperately tries to find food but ends up dying due to the cold. Since both the mother and her son are hungry and hanging on a thread to their lives, they end up eating the father. Before long, Niska's father is forced to kill both the mother and her child due to their actions. After reading this, I also related it to my own life how in some situations, although not ideal, must be done to continue on. Even though it may not be a severe as Niska's situation, but we are all forced to make difficult decisions.
