We can all overcome an obstacle that have happen in our lives no matter how bad it is. In the Novel “Nights” by Elie Wiesel suggest that our capacity to prevail over adversity is to do what is necessary in order to keep us alive no matter how hard it is for us

That sounds up-building, but I don't see how it can be true in all cases.
In fact it leads to a self-contradiction: suppose what you are doing is an obstacle to what I want to do. One or both of us is not going to be able to overcome the obstacle we each place in the other's path.

It's more a memoir than a novel, and at least the translation I have is called "Night".
Grammatically, this sounds better to me:
We can overcome any obstacle in our lives, no matter how big it may be. In "Night", Elie Wiesel suggests that our capacity to prevail over adversity entails doing what is necessary, no matter how hard, to keep us alive.
I hope I've caught the sense; I don't think our "capacity" can BE "to do what is necessary".

You might want to preview your thesis for typos before you submit it. Try to keep your sentences short and eliminate all unnecessary words. For example: We can all overcome obstacles in out lives... And be careful of grammar: "an obstacle" is singular, therefore is HAS happened. Also, verb tenses: an obstacle that has happenED. Another problem is that "obstacle" is a noun, which is a NAME of a person, place or thing. A name can't happen. You've made many errors in a short paragraph. Most of them could have been corrected by careful review. I strongly suggest that you read your entire thesis several more times before you submit it. Good luck.

It's extremely Academic... a lot of hot air up someone's proverbial skirt.
Luckily, high school teachers like hot air up their skirts. But if you ever end up getting an actual education, you'll need to learn to think and apply abstract concepts within the context of reality.
