Persuasive Essay On Bear Grylls

Improved Essays
It is nearly summer, every American kid’s favorite time of year. The time to go on long road trips to see family or go to Disney World, play in the pool, spend days at a friend’s house, or soak up that summer sun.
Except for you.

However, you will not let this summer be like just any ordinary summer. You are going to attempt this summer Bear Grylls style.

It starts from avoiding the sun at all costs. In your mind, Bear Grylls is a vampire. Like Edward Cullen or something. You wouldn’t be surprised if Bear drank animal blood at this point anyways. So, on you go to brave the darkness. You begin to construct a pillow fort in your room, in that dark darkness, from the materials you can forage. Better than a camel carcass or something.

If you end up having to socialize, you have forgotten all form of human communication, and simply screech at people like Ted Cruz does speaking to a large crowd. I’m kidding. That’s mean. Like a pterodactyl, I mean. In that instance, your mother pretends she is unaware of your existence.

Totino’s Pizza Rolls may end up being your only friend. They are warm, like human beings. A delicacy, and a welcome break from chocolate-dipped granola bars.
But you are not supposed to eat your friends. Instead, treat them like you would a person you were fond of when you were forced to socialize during the school year. Watch movies together, maybe go for a swim- it is summer after all- or talk about your feelings. They’re great listeners.

You must make promise to limit socialization as much as possible. Documenting your journey on Tumblr is an exception. If they find you dead, at least they will have that to look back on.

Want your summer to warrant this nearly unfathomable excitement? Follow this simple guide and you’ll be in summer paradise in no

    On April 28, 1992, Chris McCandless stepped foot into the woods, a journey that would last four months, coming to an end much earlier than he would’ve hoped. In August of 1992, just four months after Chris walked alone into the wild, his perishing body was found by a party of moose hunters. Chris went into the wild hoping to get away from corrupt society and to live a transcendentalist lifestyle. His bold journey was going well until he made a silly mistake when he came across seeds from the wild potato. The seeds themselves are not what killed Chris, it was the amino acids in the seeds that caused him to slowly become paralyzed due to his malnutrition and physical state.…

    Sometimes, in sports or in life in general, there are favorites and underdogs. There is a general consensus that the favorite team or player will win but sometimes it`s the underdog that wins and receives all the honor related with that win. This is very similar to what I read about Seabiscuit and what I watched in the video of Jason McElwain. Some people have the ability to transcend their underdog status (ie. Red from Seabiscuit and Jason) and create something very special.…

    In “The Outsiders”, S.E. Hinton created more than twenty characters each having diverse personalities, which causes readers to feel a certain way about them, such as admiration or hatred. For example, Sodapop Curtis would make the perfect bae, because of his charming personality. Additionally, if Darrel Curtis, Soda’s older brother, were a real person, he would most likely become someone's frenemy, due to his actions and words. While Dallas Winston would be the ideal person to be eliminated from the young adult novel. So, the three characters’ different actions, words, and personalities, cause people to conclude that their bae would be Sodapop, Darry would be their frenemy, and lastly, they would desire for the seventeen-year-old Dally to be eliminated.…

    Before attending Wilmington Early College High School (WECHS), I was not satisfied with my personality, nor was I happy with the way I was perceived by other people.

I always got good grades, but I never felt like I earned good grades. Although I was making straight As and Bs, it was always relatively easy to earn those marks in middle school.…
