Doomsday Preppers
I decided to make the bunker out of my basement measurements. I added some shelves and space for some supplies that are essential to living for at least a week down in this bunker. Also, I tried to keep a lot of space open, so we don't trip on anything in case of an emergency. Also, I tried to keep things very simple because it is good to keep things organized in case this becomes an actual problem. I needed to clear what used to be a closet into a bathroom space. I tried to keep the bathroom space separate because of the horrible smells it is going to give out after a week of being down in the bunker. I put a living room space in the middle, so it is easy to gather around and still be a family down in this bunker. We have some couches down in our basement, so I think it would be nice to spend as much time together as we can down in this bunker. My basement is a very spacious place which makes it easier to place things around. I purchased a ton of food to snack on for this week, but no big meals because it gets really expensive. I also purchased some cleaning supplies in case the bathroom situation becomes a very messy and disgusting place. A first-aid kit is essential because in case some drastic thing happens, a first aid kit just might save a life. I bought a plastic bin for the pee to go in, and some plastic bags for the waste. It may not be the cleanest way, but it is the cheapest,easiest way. A battery operated radio will allow you listen to emergency messages that may save your life. I chose my gadget to be a Jetboil cooking system that can allow many cheap canned goods to be heated up easily. This could help make meals last much longer. I also bought a water barrel that has 52 gallons of CLEAN water. This could last my family a week, easy. I had to fit my dog into my plans, and he will just stay in a kennel downstairs. I also bought him some cheap tuna that he could live off of for the week. As for his poop and pee, he will have to be quickly trained to

    Apocalypse Now Analysis

    • 562 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Apocalypse Now is based on Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness which is not about Vietnam. Heart of Darkness was written in 1902 and is about a journey up the Congo River into the heart of darkest Africa to find a power-crazed white trader named Kurtz. It is conceivable that an African tribe may have treated Kurtz as a god in the early days of colonization but I find it hard to believe the Montagnard tribesmen of Cambodia would have done so in the Vietnam War. And I don't really believe that in the Vietnam War soldiers were surfing while battles raged around them.…

    Pain is a harsh reminder that one is still very much connected to the collective rapture called existence; a belonging which often resonates radially as it does its utmost best to alert one that to continue with the chosen action, to continue along the chosen path, is not without harsh yet definitely quantifiable inauspicious consequences. It was this pervasion of ecstasy, one which she had rejected sometime in the past, that finally forced her to open her eyes, and which saved her from permanent oblivion of her last, true self.…

    The Rapture of the church is not to be confused with the Second Coming of Jesus. Let's review real quickly here the viewpoint of a Pre-Tribulation rapture. The Second Coming will be when Jesus returns to the Earth to defeat the antichrist, and to establish the Millennial Kingdom. The Second Coming of Jesus will occur after the Great Tribulation, as seen in Revelation chapters 6-9. The Second Coming is for the removal of the unbelievers, and it will be visible to everyone, unlike the Rapture, which will be secret, and instantaneous. Several end time events have to take place before the Second Coming occurs. Biblical prophecies serve to remind us to always be spiritually ready. At the Rapture, believers will meet Jesus in the air, and there…

    George Orwell’s novel 1984 is a political novel written with the intent of warning readers of the dangers of communism and totalitarian governments. Secker and Warburg published the novel in 1949. Orwell’s motivation for writing this piece came from his time serving as a reporter during the Spanish Civil War. There he witnessed first hand the atrocities committed by the fascist government. The rise of Hitler in Germany and Stalin in Russia also served to inspire Orwell’s hatred of political authority.…
