Paranoia Journey
Before embarking on this journey, please note a few things first and foremost the survival skills are geared toward the inevitable zombie apocalypse, but should serve you just fine on your survival journey. First things first, Paranoia is only paranoia when you are not prepared.
Little Johnny feared a thunder and lightning storm during his camping trip because he was “paranoid” he brought his rubber rain coat and rubber rain boots, his brother Fred laughed and did not come prepared. Can you guess where this story is going? That’s right! Lightening from the storm bounced off Johnny’s rubber rain coat and Fred was Fried. Moral of the story: Fear is not

But I am assuming you can bring a few certain items, or even somehow obtain them at some point. If possible, bring or obtain the two magical items of the survival realm. One Duct tape (the silver gives it extra miracle) and Two Dental Floss.
These two items alone can prove to be essentials for survival and can be used hundreds of ways. Together they are the dream team of survival. Here in this small procedural guide to survival, we will discuss on how to use these to miracle items to make shelter. Let’s get back to the “Being prepared vs. being paranoid” part of survival. There you are stranded on the Island stranded alone with no one around besides your competitors, camera men, and the entire production crew of the show. (Terrifying I know.) On this Island, it begins to rain as most Islands do from time to time. The other teens begin to search for trees and caves to take shelter, but you are prepared and maybe slightly “paranoid”. You have the sense to stay away from trees in the event of lighting striking causing the tree to fall and squash competitors 3-6, and you have seen way too make survival horror movies to know that you were not the first to think of a cave and animals (perhaps carnivorous ones) probably had the same

    The implementation of asyndeton and polysyndeton illuminates the fear-fueled despair and paranoia that plagues someone in the time of war. Beginning with a repetitious list, O’Brien’s focus on war is that it is a mental battle as much as it is a physical battle. It perpetually tests one’s mental dexterity by throwing curveballs at every corner and constantly forcing one to be on their toes. Leaving out the conjunctions, Due to the degenerative nature of war, one often falls to the powers of paranoia and despair as they combat the fear of death on the front lines. This paranoia is first seen within the text on page 6, without conjunction, as O’Brien delves into all that Ted Lavender carries in war by stating, “The typical load as 25 rounds.…

    Nadine Gordimer's Fear

    • 264 Words

    Fear often becomes our worst enemy when it makes you become irrational and stops you from thinking clearly. First of all, fear can make us become overly cautious, to the point where it causes harm. In Nadine Gordimer’s novel “Once Upon a Time” a family builds a barbed wire wall because they are so afraid of the robberies and the boy decides to explore the fence and dies from being shredded by the wire “(the boy) dragged a ladder to the wall, the shining coiled tunnel...with the first fixing of its razor-teeth in his knees and hands and head he… struggled deeper into its tangle.” (Gordimer, 6 ). The family built the fence to protect themselves but it only ended up hurting them. The family’s fear ended up destroying them. Throughout my life,…

    As Pittacus Lore once said, “I know what I’m capable of; I am a soldier now, a warrior. I am someone to fear, not hunt.” Fear is caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous. In the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, the main character Rainsford is repeatedly trying to convince his friend Whitney that the animals they hunt and hang on their walls have no sense of emotion or fear. But when he learns the unbearable feeling and anxiety of being the huntee, he is convinced otherwise.…

    Crucible. One word. Three syllables. Two definitions: “a container for purifying metals” and “a severe test.” When applying this dual meaning to the Salem Witch Trials’ havoc, the title’s cleverness becomes apparent; Arthur Miller’s selection is fitting. Both definitions are suitable for the play because its characters are refined to their core elements as well as given the ultimate test.…

    The Cay: Article Analysis

    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.…

    Forget what you remember about your slow, shambling, rotting, flesh-eating corpses, also known as zombies. What used to be bland, boring, and not that scary are now taking the place of the “sparkly love-struck vampire” and the hugely terrifying beast of a werewolf. Thus evolving in pop culture. Zombies, from the standards that we remembered were these slow, staggering and moaning undead that could not run or jump, they could not open doors nor did they have any sense of self-awareness. But through the years these standards have changed and modified and we are left with a whole new line of zombies, many of them very dangerous. In the event of a Zombie Apocalypse one of the first things we would need to know is what type of zombie we are dealing with, your typical slow moving Romero Zombies, the more dangerous, scary, and fast Berserkers, or the “new” Self-Aware Zombie.…

    Nowadays, people are well equipped with many technology gadgets and items, so do I. If I was stranded on a deserted island, there would be unlimited things I would like to bring with me. However, since I can only bring three things, I would carry a knife, box of matches and a big jar. I believe those three things would help me surviving in such difficult living condition. First, a knife could be utilized in many ways. On such island, there could exist lots of wild and dangerous animals or species, from which the knife could protect me. Besides the tent, I could make hunting tools, such as: javelin, arrows and bow or set traps to hunt for food. Moreover, a knife can be used for cutting fruits from trees, and skinning the hunted animals. Not only I have food, but I also have variety of choices. Animals can be hunted and killed, but that does not mean they are ready for eating. That explains the reason I brought box of matches, to make fire. Actually, the main purpose of the fire is to keep me warm at night on this deserted island. However, it can be used for many others reasons. Cooking the food, boiling water, chasing away the dangerous animals, creating smoke to attract other human, if any, are only a few examples of utilizing the fire. Wasn't the fire one of the greatest discovery of human and also the key of developing society? That is why I brought a box of matches. Human can survive without food for a long time, but only three days without water would kill a person. Therefore, my big jar will be used for catching rain, which would be boiled and used for water. As mentioned earlier, in ordet to live through this terrible condition, I need water. In conclusion, those three things might seems simple and boring, but they are necessary for the survival of myself on a deserted…

    Alone on a Desert Island

    • 300 Words
    • 2 Pages

    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…
