How to Retain Pulchritude While Lost in the Woods
27 October 2013
How to Retain Pulchritude While Lost in the Woods Many people panic when they realize they are lost and focus solely on survival, forgetting the importance of their appearance. They emerge from the solitude of the wilderness alive but completely disheveled, bearing no regard to their unkempt hair or dirty and tattered clothing.
If you are going to get lost, you need to remember that looking good is the top priority so that when you are found you look like a professional model in your picture on the cover of Survivalist magazine. If you are lost in the woods, your first priority is to locate a suitable shelter to rest in. It will be very hard to maintain your good looks if you lack beauty sleep, so make sure that you pick a comfortable flat area free from any jagged rocks protruding from the ground. If you are not familiar with the area you are lost in, try finding a friendly woodland creature such as a bear and ask it for lodging recommendations. Once you realize that it is impossible to converse with a bear, you will have to fend off the ferocious 350-pound animal you just enraged. Before engaging the bear, be sure to remove your clothes so that they do not become soiled while you fight for your life. Next, grab any weapon you can find from your backpack, whether it be an emergency flair, a survival knife, or even that lucky horseshoe you carry around everywhere. If you neglected to bring any supplies before getting lost in the woods, be careful not to let the bear inflict upon you any wounds you will not later be able to cover with clothing as you fight it to the death. Once the bear is dead, you can claim its cave as your home. Your new bear prize can be utilized for many purposes. Its hide can be removed and worn as a fashionable fur coat, while its bones can be used to decorate your luxurious one-room apartment. Because malnutrition is not in style right now, be sure to prepare and eat the bear’s meat so that you can maintain your

    It was a cold and chilly afternoon on July 17, 2015, when twelve year old Jared Guese encountered a black bear and its two cubs. Leading up to this event, his parents had planned a trip to Sequoia National Park during summer break. Mainly so they could do something besides sit around in their house all day. Jared was not that excited to be going, but he smiled and gave a sarcastic, “Sounds fun!” The car trip there was around four hours long and was very tedious. Once the family arrived at the campsite, they unpacked all of their belongings and set up a large tent.…

    Today I was dropped off by my crew, to start the survival series, where I will have to live in the wilderness and use the materials around for 11 days, with a camera in front of my head. I only came with an empty knapsack to carry the materials that I’ll find during this series. There are two rules for the series, I have to move to another shelter everyday and you can only bring things in your knapsack, you can’t just carry them, so it will be more exciting for the viewers to watch. I started by ripping off some branches from the trees nearby and went to settle under that small overhang near the mountain. I gathered some rocks that contained some quartz near the river, and broke them in half by smashing them into other rocks, then I smashed the parts together and got sparks which started a fire. After creating a fire, I went out to see if there are any food, I found a good amount of blueberries which can last me a while because it can satisfy my thirst too. I gathered some fallen leaves and slept on them.…

    The creator of the cartoon uses pathos to exemplify what society is addicted to. The author presents a man injecting himself with various types of “drugs”. The “drugs” in the syringes represent the items that society believes are “essential” to live with. For example, one syringe says a Bigger House. Another syringe says a Sleeker Stereo. In addition to all the syringes on the table and in the background, the facial expression of the man help create an emotion of being overwhelmed and desperate to continue injecting themselves with these essential needs. The image overall represents how society is lost in trying to obtain what the purpose of life is through materialistic needs instead of discovering life through simplicity.…

    Bird feeders, compost, garbage, vegetables and fruits such as sweet corn and apples, and pet foods. Chicken coops and beehives also often attract bears. Humans living near forests with any of these easily accessible should not be surprised to spot a bear lurking in their yard. However, there are preventative measures people can take to reduce the chances of running into a bear at home. Getting rid of all bird feeders, for one, at least while bears are active. It is also wise to make sure all trash and compost piles are secured. People with livestock, crops, or beehives should use means such as electrical fencing to keep out…

    I could hear the blood pumping in my ears, away from the situation, and I started calming my breathing. I headed back to camp, content with trying to forget what I heard. The heavy footsteps of a creature larger than simple game. Almost as though just hiding from me, either to prepare to pounce, or to hide. What bothered me most however, was not that it was seemingly a creature who just wanted to hide, but that it hid. It sounded like a large creature, but a deer would have run, and a wolf would attack, followed by others. What was that? As I reached the campsite, the flames of my fire were softly dancing as though doing a waltz. I checked all of camp, but all the food and supplies I had gathered were gone. I headed back into the woods to the spot where I heard the rustle of leaves. The forest was still unsettlingly still, so I made the point to make my presence be known. I searched for any signs of where my belongings could have ended up. I stumbled upon a skinned deer. With that I knew I was not alone. I searched further, and found the hide on the ground near the river. I lifted it, wondering why any creature would skin a deer just to leave the hide behind not too far…

    Into The Woods

    • 694 Words

    Before Grimm, before Supernatural, and even before Wicked, there was one “reimagining of classic fairy tales with interwoven plots and grey scale characters” and that was Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim. Sondheim uses four familiar stories to set the scene for his overarching plot allowing him to concentrate on jokes and creating new relationships between old characters. He also uses familiar characters in ways that blend categories. Through much of act one every character is stock through and through, yet by the end of the play our dashing prince charming has become an unapologetic adulterer, and the wicked old witch becomes an anti-hero. In addition to plot and character Sondheim pays special attention to his musical numbers; just from the first number we understand the characters relationships to one another, their motivations (having children, going to the festival, visiting grandma, and not starving), and we’re introduced to the play’s key metaphor: the woods. While these aspects were vital to the performances success I will be concentrating on the diction and acting.…

    As I look out across the white landscape, I try to find a place to go. Right or left, maybe straight, not knowing what to do will kill me. Straight is where I am heading, right into the trees. Once in the trees, I feel more protected. I am dodging around trees, jumping over fallen branches, soaring through the tree filled land like an eagle in the sky. I finally find a game trail and start moving along on it. The snow is packed and easier to travel on. I am running now, hoping to find any sign of humans or a camp site. SNAP! Something…

    I was once the girl who only survived off her appearance ,in a way that’s all that I ever concerned myself with .I would often cry and break down if I felt I didn’t fit into the world’s image,or my outfit wasn’t planned to the “T.” I felt how I was perceived, defined who was as a person. I was a real people pleaser.I recall spending hours comparing myself to the models in the magazines or people in the media ,neglecting to realize how much editing or retouching it may have taken to create that image of perfection I longed for.You could say,I was my biggest critic. I gave in to conformity. I truly hated the way I looked,and came to the conclusion that I was worthless.…
