Alone on a Desert Island
If I were alone on a deserted island, the first thing I would wish I had brought with me would be my two boys because they would give me the strength to get through each day. Although, my children are not “things” without them I wouldn’t want or need anything else nor would I have the strength to fight for survival. Having my boys would prevent me from becoming lonely they would offer me a lifetime of entertainment (considering how comical they both are), and also help prevent me from losing my sanity. My boys and I would not be able to maintain healthy diets if we ate only fish, therefore, the second thing I wish I would have brought are seeds. We would plant the seeds to grow our favorite fruits and vegetables. We would be able to enjoy eating healthy, as well as, heighten our survival rate. The third thing I wish I would have brought, if I am able to count it as one item, would be a full size, solar powered house boat. My house boat would be fully equipped with furniture, appliances, linens, and a water purification system. It would also be stocked with our daily living essentials: to maintain our hygiene and stay in good health we would have anti-bacterial soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and clothing; to help us hunt, prepare, cook, and eat our food we would have pots and pans, eating and cooking utensils, plants and bowls, a set of sharp knifes, etc.; to keep ourselves and each other entertained we would have our favorite board games, books to read, sketch paper, and pencils. If I had my boys, seeds to plant, and my wonderful over exaggerating houseboat I would live comfortably on a deserted island for a long

    Imagine a beautiful island full of kids playing on the beaches, climbing the mountains and hills, building forts in the trees, and building sand castles. Now imagine a war torn island with a bunch of soldiers on the beaches shooting and climbing the mountains to get higher ground and climbing trees to hide and snipe off enemy soldiers and soldiers digging foxholes in the beach. This is what the soldiers saw when battling in island hopping. How did the battles help the allies win the war and advance to japan and help with the carpet bombing of the Japanese cities.…

    There are many things needed to survive. Shelter, food, and water are some examples. Specifically, Timothy from the book The Cay had a plan of survival that was good/smart. While Timothy did not think about the smoke in the signal fire not being very visible, Timothy is correct with his survival plan because he could find clean/fresh water, he built shelter with materials on the island, and he built rescue signs for them to be saved. Another way that Timothy had a good plan is that he also managed to find fresh/clean water.…

    Survival is a key part of life in which humans have been attending to throughout our entire existence. As time progresses, technology and knowledge not only increases but also improves. Eventually, we develop to the point where our educational system has an important and crucial question where the students are asked to compare and contrast a life raft with emergency supplies in it, a moderately sized island, and Earth itself. The three subjects have a number of similarities and differences; however, some are obviously more important than others.…

    My first item that I would bring me would definitely would be a whole supply of books to read the whole time instead of social media. I think it would be a very good thing for me to go without social media for awhile and learn some new things that I wouldn't have without living off the grid. It would also help me to not being on my phone or Netflix and study more and get better grades. One thing I definitely notice when I'm grounded from Netflix or my phone I have almost a 75% more chance of me actually doing something productive. Bringing my collection of books would I think also give me a chance to go over the ones I call my favorite and realize again why they are my favorites. When I'm just reading a few books…
