About This Lesson

All humans require basic physiological, safety and social needs for survival, including water, food, clothing, good health and a safe shelter, as well as love from family and friends. During natural disasters, war or other traumatic events, these items can become scarce, causing people to seek them for survival and leaving children of war and other conflicts very vulnerable.

In this literary compare-and-contrast lesson, students will understand the basic human needs and will be able to draw similarities between Esther’s and Garangs’s survival stories. Students will also be able to make comparisons to current events.
