Personal Narrative: Where The Sidewalk Ends

At the age of nine, I watched my uncles lowering my father into the ground and what took his life was addiction. All my life I have watched addiction take over the lives of people, I love. My father's side of the family, besides my grandparents, has always faced addiction. Although, addiction runs through my blood, I will not take the same path I have watched people take all my life. I will be the one to end the cycle. Watching the majority of my family waste their life has motivated me to change the direction and better myself from living a life of addiction and misery.

One thing that does not interest me anymore is going outside. I used to always love going outside but not anymore that is like the top uninterested thing i'm into rite now. When i was a kid i loved going outside, after i got older i only go outside on the daily-bases now that i'm more mature.When i get in trouble my parents make me go outside for my punishment. Outside is just not interested to me

Surviving on a tropical island when stranded is a demanding and burdensome task not everyone can handle. Having specific characteristics and perspectives are necessary to enduring your stay on the island. These characteristics include optimism, perseverance, compatibility, and intelligence. Being able to have an unbiased, just, and a realistic, yet optimistic, perspective would be optimal for the continuation of your life while on the island. Of course, even with these traits, your experience may still be traumatizing, and you may die depending if your other strandees have these trait. Try not to let this discourage your survival tactics; just take this into consideration while you have your stay on the island.

This past year, I have been apart of Naperville Central’s brand new Special Spaces club. When my friend approached me and asked me to join, I agreed even though I had no clue what I was involving myself in. In retrospective, I can honestly say that becoming a part of Special Spaces has been one of the most meaningful, fun, and fulfilling experiences I have had in high school.

If I were on a deserted island there would be 3 things I would take with me such as my favorite book, favorite food item, and a famous celebrity. A type of book I would enjoy reading is Ender’s Game, which is a sci fi book. Since I would have to bring only one food item, I would choose a crunchy, green salad, with salted croutons, and topped with french dressing. Lastly, since I am on a deserted island, I would bring someone who can help me survive, which is Charlie Hunnam.

Ideally I would be on the island with Grant. However there is one other person I would not mind being with. That person is Dennis Nedry. Other than being a terrible person that lies and ruins billions of dollars in genetic achievements and research, he could be very helpful to my survival. We know that the entire park can be run by the computer system, and the one person that knows the computer the best is Dennis. He could keep us safe and locked away from any dinosaurs in the visitor part of the park. Additionally, If we are being chased by a Tyrannosaurus I know that he would be a slower runner than me. He would be ripped into pieces alive as I run to safety.

We are stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on a raft and the nearest island is one thousand miles away. Our goals are to keep everyone alive and to get to land safely. In order to accomplish these goals, our strategies will be to ration food/water and assign a job to each person. The five items that we chose to aid us in our survival are: the sextant, shaving mirror, five gallons of water, maps of the Pacific Ocean, and a fishing kit.

Dear Diary, today I have been thinking if will ever be rescued from this horrible island. I no longer want to stay here anymore. My clothes got so filthy I could wear them anymore and my hair is longer then my nose. I want to go home and sleep in a nice warm bed and have a wonderful meal. Jack has turned very malevolent towards everyone even people in his own tribe. I wish I could delete the all the memories from this awful island. I had been thinking that we would soon be rescued. I think a large ship will pass by and see the signal fire and come a save us. Then would have a long travel home but there would be beds and warm meals that weren’t pig and fruit. When we would get home our parents would see the grown men we have turned in to. When

What do you think you would do if you were stranded on an island with a bunch of strangers? How would you react and what would be your first instinct? Well in the novel The Lord of the Flies by William Golding we follow a group of young British boys whose plane crashes and who have to figure out how to survive without any adults. They have to figure out how to work together not only to be rescued but also to survive. There is a lot of tension that grows between the boys and eventually reaches a point where it explodes.

Once everybody is done at the end of the day we will see if we have enough resources then once we do we can start building shelters if you do not have enough resources to build you can ask one of your neighbors. We will build shelters by collecting the resources, then after we do the experts will help whoever needs it the most. The young people, you guys have to help the elderly, then after we are all finished we start the whole thing over, then we craft and build until the police sends search parties or we make our own flares either way we will try our hardest to survive and eventually get off this island. If we want something but not need it you will have to work more to achieve that because if stop and get what we want instead of what we need then it will cause the process to slow down creating our cycle to

There is a lot of things to eat and drink on a island more than salt water and fish. Never leave a island with out lots of food and water to drink and eat. There is a lot of things you can eat on island. You can eat crabs, fish, and other sea creature. The next important thing is that you have to make a fire. A way to start a fire is to get glasses or mediafire. The wood you need are dead branches from the trees. Another way to make a fire is rub hard shaft wood and softwood base. Another way is to do the human drill. You can also use flint and

There is an island in the Pacific Ocean. An island where everyone is too afraid to walk on. An island that has its own rules, a system for anyone who steps on the island to follow, Eat the food, play the games and you will live. The island has only one occupant, a mysterious man which has been on the island for decades. The man lurks in the darkness and waits for the stranded and lost to arrive on shore then entertains himself by taking away their supplies and creating scenarios to make them turn on each other. He occasionally gives them food, hiding it under glass cylinders near their camps. If they refuse to eat the food, they will be poisoned or killed. Then after they are dead, He will take the bodies and wait for the next victim.

As I walk out of the gas station and down the ramp. I look down in disappointment and anger. Never wanting to return to our dreadful car ride. I knew what was coming and all I wanted to do was curl up in a tiny ball. I didn't want to hear everyone giggling, because going on this hike was a formidable challenge for me. I laboriously dragged myself to the car. We have been driving for what seemed like a lifetime. We are on our way to a campsite and “the hike of the century.” We had been preparing for this trip for weeks. We had an ample amount of supplies for this trip. Four and a half hours later we had arrived. i tried to ignore the negative stories in my head. Of course the fear of slipping off the trial kept popping in my head. I couldn’t get rid of it. Sluggishly, I followed the big group before me.

Deserted islands are often places with no sign of human civilization. What you find there are often various kinds of plants and animals, some you may have never seen before. If stranded on a deserted island, the major priority would be to survive from the situation. In order to do so, a survival knife, a hand mirror and a water filtration system.

According to the Primal Survivor website, “shelter is your #1 priority.” The human body, approximately, can go a little over 3 weeks without any form of food. Water, on the other hand, is crucial. A human can only go 8 to 10 days without water. Most people would say finding water is the first and foremost thing a person should do when stranded, such as on a show like Survivor. However, being stranded on an island, there is little to no fresh water resources. Without having a stable campground, finding and possibly having to boil the salt out of your water becomes a much harder task, which is why everyone should know how to set up an effective survival shelter without any equipment.
