how does "The Day I Saved a Life" connects to the unit's essential question "Why do we take chances?"

Hello. Unfortunately, it is not possible to have access to the video "The Day I Saved a Life" and the unit to which you refer in the question above, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

According to the titles presented in the question, we can infer that the relationship between the two works is the fact that, many times, we are at risk, due to our survival instinct. Often, for it to be necessary to get rid of something that is threatening us, we need to face some risks and face some difficulties that, although dangerous, can save us. This occurs even when we see someone in danger, as our sense of survival is very strong and comprehensive.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
