Finishing the Desert chapter in surving the extremes this week I came to find that often times parents can make extreme decesions to ensure their childs safety.
In the desert chapter a family on vacation visiting the area decides to explore nature and get away from the modernized hotels. When reaching the desert the family decides to abandon their car and explore the great oppurtunity before their eyes. the father stays back in the car for a few minutes and the family including the son, daughter, and mother travel ahead and loose the father who travels behind. The father travels back to the car when the car stops functioning and his family is lost ahead he has no choice but to travel in the heat and save his wife and children. Day and night he travels under the burning sun without water and food, the love of his family urges him to continue each day. The mother on the other hand, works hard to protect her children killing animals and using plants to keep her children hydrated. The parents fight to meet each other in the desert but never find each other and in the end both the father and mother with the children are killed by the burning sun with no water or food for their body to build off of.
This passage from the dessert chapter shows what parents can do or what extent parents to can go to to save their children and keep them protected. The father puts his body at risk to save his family and in the send sacrifices himself for his children. Emotional attachment to family can lead people to extreme conditions puting their own health at risk under dangerous heat conditions.
