In your own words, state the claim that she expresses in paragraph 3. Take into account the information she presents in the rest of her argument, including her conclusions at the end.

Paragraph 3: But is survival really selfish and uncivilized? Or is it smart? And is going in to rescue others always heroic? Or is it sometimes just stupid? It’s a complex question, because there are so many factors involved, and every survival situation is different.]]> 2021-04-22 05:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/noellepatrice/3nbemuhnzdsn2nlg/wish/1445719914 noellepatrice https://padlet.com/noellepatrice/3nbemuhnzdsn2nlg/wish/1445720328  Wallace writes that “the number one determining factor for survival is simply whether people hold it together (keep calm) in a crisis or fall apart (cry, scream, act crazy)”. Paragraph 14. Is this an example of a claim, a reason, or evidence? Explain with an example from the text.

Paragraph 14: Some people hold it together in a crisis and some people fall apart. Some people might run away from danger one day, and toward it the next. We pick up a thousand cues in an instant of crisis and respond in ways that even surprise ourselves, sometimes.]]> 2021-04-22 05:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/noellepatrice/3nbemuhnzdsn2nlg/wish/1445720328 noellepatrice https://padlet.com/noellepatrice/3nbemuhnzdsn2nlg/wish/1445721505  Reread paragraph 12. As evidence for Wallace’s claim, is this paragraph valid and relevant? Explain.
Her claim is:  there are so many factors involved, and every survival situation is different.

"It sounds nice, but oddly enough, most of the people who perform such impulsive rescues say that they didn’t really think before acting. Which means they weren’t “choosing” civilization over instinct. If survival is an instinct, it seems to me that there must be something equally instinctive that drives us, sometimes, to run into danger instead of away from it."]]> 2021-04-22 05:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/noellepatrice/3nbemuhnzdsn2nlg/wish/1445721505 noellepatrice https://padlet.com/noellepatrice/3nbemuhnzdsn2nlg/wish/1445761931 In the final paragraph, Wallace writes that there can be “a fine line between smart and selfish,” and that “sometimes there’s no line at all between the two.” What does she mean by this apparent contradiction? How does her conclusion restate her claim? Note the sentence at the beginning of the selection that states this claim. 

"But while we laud those who sacrifice themselves in an attempt to save another, there is a fine line between brave and foolish. There can also be a fine line between smart and selfish. And as a friend who’s served in the military for 27 years says, the truth is, sometimes there’s no line at all between the two."]]> 2021-04-22 05:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/noellepatrice/3nbemuhnzdsn2nlg/wish/1445761931
