How do filipino youths show resiliency in facing their challenges in life​

Before I answer that, here's a story of my dad.

When he was a kid, he lived a carefree life that he would take the chance to play outside while his father kept telling him to study, study, and study. Being the son of a soldier that participated in WW II, my dad enjoyed the privilege he had because Filipino soldiers were respected at that time. However, despite the joy he had, there was a time when my dad's father was jumped by a group of people that resulted in my dad seeing my grandfather holding the guts that was about to fall out of his body when he came home. Not something that a child should see right? But, this resulted in my dad coming to reality, that the things he faced was not all sunshine and rainbows.

What's more was that, my dad's older brother, who was once addicted to drugs but stopped, was killed by the people whom he thought were his friends. This gave my dad a different take in life. No, he didn't decide to joke or mess around because of the things he had seen at that time. He matured early, early enough that when he faced kinds of failures in his life he persevered and endured. He kept his faith close with him because, in the present moment that we are in now, him and his family had been given the chance to live in a different country that is not Philippines.

What's unique with us Filipinos is the fact that we persevere, and the faith we have in being Christians. (From what I have seen from my dad).

So, why are Filipinos resilient? Because they smile? Yes, they do when times are tough. But what's important is that we take life seriously and that we value of what's important to us in our life. Though we may at times have fun, we never forget the hardship that one has to go through in life. Which is why people see Filipinos as hard-working people like my dad who's boss always see him in a good light.

explanation:

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.

happy to .

pls mark as brainliest.
