Surviving is about not giving up or breaking‚ about learning to cope with what’s around you in order to survive or overcome‚ and being determined enough to do both. The main characters in the autobiographies To Sir‚ With Love by E.R. Brathwaite‚ Night by Elie Wiesel‚ An Ordinary Man by Paul Rusesabagina all were survivors of social prejudices‚ two of which overcame genocides. They were malleable‚ adapting to their situation to survive: to ultimately persevere and

Thackeray (Sidney Potier) in the film To Sir with Love (Clavell‚ 1966). Via this analysis‚ I argue that the film portrays a simplistic‚ commercial palatable rather than a realistic image of the challenges of teaching‚ leading the viewer to a distorted perception of the implications of the various discourses employed.
