Survival- Original Writing The sweltering jungle felt like a death trap; it was infested with venomous species of plants and animals. The humidity was intolerable. All I had was a small bottle of water, and a tiny, partly eaten, bar of chocolate. I had lost my main supply in the trees earlier, when I missed my landing target. I didn’t feel secure; yet I had no choice to continue. It was life or death for now, it was survival. I was mentally ill equipped for this alien
write about was, "What would be a good final essay prompt? Why? What would it reveal about students who write a response to it" (1)?

One of the original items I thought writing about was, If you had only one week to live, what would you do and why? In fact, I even started to write about that topic, and then I thought of another one that is something that people who camp, have to think about often. There are
This project was intended to show and persuade the audience to appreciate and enjoy the outdoors in Colorado. But if not that then the purpose was to help understand the importance of wilderness to some people and how it affects people 's lives for the better.

Sometimes you can't explain everything. You just can't, and Martin Amis knows this. Time's Arrow is a book on the holocaust. There is nothing new about its material, and it makes no attempt at explaining anything. So why bother reading (or writing) it? What separates this book from your average "holocaust book" is that this really will, as it says on the backcover, present you with a "different" perspective. Time's Arrow is not your typical holocaust book. It does more than just make your
Simmone, her attendant and lover to calm her itching skin with cold water.
