When Adelina was confronted with her choice of returning to the mortal world without Violetta or trading her life for Violetta, she decided to choose the latter. Adelina was filled with love for her sister, and through that, was willing to give up her own life to bring Violetta back. Life is a gift of its own, but through Adelina’s love, Violetta was able to come back to life. And life is a gift that Adelina had chose to buy with her love and her own life. This can be applicable for real life. Though we cannot physically bring back the dead, love can compel a person to do things a person usually will not do. One example is when some people are willing to have their lives taken so others do not have to die. Good and brave fathers will fight off robbers, even if this means that his life would be taken, so that his children and wife may escape, because he loves them. Another example is when several teachers allowed themselves to be showered with bullets in the Florida shooting, thus saving many lives of students because they loved the students and wanted the students to have a better shot at life. These braveries can only be demonstrated because of love, and Adelina made a brave step to trade in her life for Violetta’s out of love. This is why love is the greatest gift if all, because it gave Violetta a new chance at life and live a better life than Adelina had lived, which can be applied to real

Rosenblatt wrote the article to convey that selflessness can be perhaps the best act of charity and power a person can give, and that it can really show a person’s true character. The man must’ve known that if he stayed in the water that he would perish, but he put the needs and lives of the other passengers before his, a true act of courage and kindness that the survivors surely remember each day they continue to live. The passenger showed the he had power over nature, even though in the end, he himself succumbed to nature. He showed that even the greatest acts of compassion can be given in the face of death. The overall theme of Roger Rosenblatt’s article, the overall inherent message, is that selflessness is perhaps the most valuable gift to be given, even when the cost itself may be

Each and every day, people make sacrifices for their loved ones. Maybe they choose to get up earlier in order to do chores or miss an important meeting so that they would have time for each other.
