Alive was a very important book for me , it thought
me many things like how to value things in live and
what to do in equal circumstances. i admire the
survivors because if I was in their situation , I will be
desesperate and could have died at the next day , not
only because of hunger or cold , but of the agony of
seeing weak people and not doing anything. After
reading this book many questions came to my mind
like: if I had been in that situation what would I do and
how will I act? , how can I get that strength to cross the
cordillera? Would I have come with the idea of eating
the flesh of my family or friends?... in this moment I
don’t have answers to this questions but with time I will
find them.

Although
the

survivors
suffered a lot, still they had to make
really difficult decisions that could cost
their lives. What I liked the most was

wanted to be alive, to be with their
families and they did everything and
more to approach the goal. Sometimes
they doubted but others didn’t. Thanks
to that, 16 men survive. They didn’t
survive from terrible conditions, food,
cold and more but mostly they survive
their own mind and thoughts, by
controlling it. It changed my life because
it shows me that if I want something or I
have a dream I will have to fight for it,
because the row is not easy it gets
harder and harder until we get
