# How does The Survivors develop the theme of Oppression and Resistance?

> The Survivors by Tom Godwin

## Answer

The Survivors by Tom Godwin develops Oppression and Resistance across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

The Gern Empire's brutal occupation and the forced separation of families on the Constellation ignite a relentless resistance movement, culminating in a planned uprising to seize a Gern cruiser.

The entire chapter is a culmination of two centuries of resistance against Gern oppression, from the capture of the cruiser to the planned attack on Athena.
