Desert Island
Surviving on a Desert Island

Sometimes when I am daydreaming, I think about far off places, such as the beautiful uninhabited islands in the South Pacific. I imagine myself being shipwrecked on one of these islands, the way actor Tom Hanks was in Castaway. Probably I’ll never be stranded on a desert island, but if I were, I would like to have three things with me:
Machete, Fishing Line, and A lighter

The first thing that I would like to have is a machete. A machete will help cut the fish and other foods to cook. I would use the machete to cut a tree branch to build a fire and a place to sleep. The machete could help me if I came in danger to any kind of wild animals.

Another thing that would help me to survive is a fishing line. A fishing line could help tie the food to a stick and cook it over the fire. This could also help in fishing for some food to cook so I don’t die. I could use the fishing line to tie some sticks together to make a roof to keep warm. A final thing I would need on the island is lighter. I could use the lighter to light the fire to cook my food. Fire comes in handy to stay warm. I could use the fire to keep animals away. In conclusion, I think that having these three things would help me to survive. There are other things I would miss of course, such as a hot shower, television and my cell phone, but I think I could manage, at least for a month or so. When I am finally rescued, I might even become a celebrity. Who knows, maybe I’ll be invited to appear on Good Morning America and be offered a million dollars for my

    2. Find transportation. Getting a set of wheels is going to be really important as well. When getting a car you have to choose kind of wisely if possible. The reason I say that is because you are going to have people with and it’s where you are going to be most of the time. 3. Getting food and medical supplies. These types of supplies are going to be hard to find later on so always try and get them right away.…

    Hitchhike? How do you leave a town with no train, no bus, no car? I also have a French horn I plan on learning how to play, an Akai stereo and my records, Tash’s stuff, and an official looking note saying the house is mine. All my dad left with was his new suit, his dipping bird, and the bible he’d had since he was a kid. He laid out all the information in a note he left on the kitchen table.…

    The bloody plane was shot down…I was sleeping dreaming about a concoction of fish and chips and my home before the war. I lived on a farm, and I had my own horse…I miss him. My dad taught me how to ride when I was four; riding would provide me relief from school and farming. Anyways, I then I awoke to a storm of fire. The plane was literally sliced in two. I think the beastly enemy shot us down. Even though they shot us clean out of the sky, I wish to thank them and show some British manners to them because this island is beautiful. It has fruit, and the sights are more beautiful than anything back home. There are even pigs on the island that we could eat. Sadly, I thought myself alone until a booming noise thundered through the jungle. I was scared; I thought it was an earthquake, although I have never experienced one before.…

    I grabbed when the the roof of my house started to tear from the rest of my house. I dashed the few more steps to knock on the bunker door I knocked and scram for them to open the doors. They finally opened the doors up when I felt like quit trying. I ran inside to feel safe, the hurricane had probably destroyed my house by then. While outside the bunker I felt the tremendous winds pulling me in. I had the necessary stuff to survive the storm for a week.
