Hunted Persuasive Essay

Improved Essays
If you had to disappear, could you? Coined as the catch phrase of CBS’s latest reality TV show Hunted. Instantly being captured by the first episode of blood pumping action as normal everyday people portray fugitives trying to outwit thirty-two of the top investigators in the world. Never being a huge fan of the reality show genre, but this show puts the real back in reality TV immediately gravitating my curiosity to the idea. Surreal reactions of non-actors kept my attention plastered to my TV as this game of chess is played out.

However, the biggest motivating factor driving nine hunted couples is if they don’t get caught they receive $250,000 in cash. “You’re on the run!” Says a member of the TV shows crew, with only one impetuous hour before the journey starts for eighteen ordinary U.S. citizen’s in pairs of married, fiancé’s, and lifelong friends. Collaborating with their circles of trust in family, friends, and strangers for resources and refuge. The hunters consist of two groups, the command center group synchronizing, collecting and analyzing information. Look out for the blacked-out Suburban’s because the second group composed of seven teams of two patrolling for that opportunity to squelch the players’ plans. A 100,000-mile radius encompassed the playing field of South Carolina, Georgia, the upper part of Florida, and a sliver of Alabama. Hunted teams can run, walk, or get a ride, however, if even touched by one of the hunters, they’ll be packing their bags and its game

    My advice to makayla is to never get stuck on one question no longer than five minutes. It's okay to skip a question and come back to it later once you have answer all of the other questions. It's also okay to guess intelligently on some of the questions. I feel that you shouldn't always linger on the same questions, because that can cause you to loose most of you time on the test. John When writing I think John should just write everything out first step-by-step.…

    The writing expected from college courses is one that most are unfamiliar with. Although students learn basic English skills throughout grade school and up to high school, most of the advanced steps are forgotten by the time the student is to enter college. Paired with this, are the nontraditional students, who haven’t studied advanced academic language for long periods of time. Professors are expecting students of all kinds of study to have a high academic vocabulary and high writing skill. Often times a gap in remedial writing courses within the first semester or so.…

    An explorer can be defined as a person who ventures into unfamiliar territory. The term “explorer” is very vague for a number of reasons. First, the definition can imply to anyone who ventures outside of one’s own comfort zone. This can apply to a man that likes to study science, or a woman that applies for a job, even to a kid who likes to travels outside their neighborhood. Clearly, these examples go against common intuition when someone thinks of Indiana Jones and Jack Sparrow.…

    Often times, when we hear the term, “survival of the fittest,” we associate it with animals and how they have taken advantage of their evolutionary timeline. Even though the term might imply that the animal most “fit” would be more likely to survive, it is not in the sense of how physically fit they are. According to Charles Darwin, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” But in the world of science fiction, would we consider change in regards to the conditions of planet Earth, or another planet such as Mars? Or perhaps the change would be in regards to the surrounding conditions of a space ship going at speed of light?…
