Zach and Meyer Survival Scenario

It started out when we reached the airport all dressed up for our business trip overseas. We were to make sales to a fellow company. We got onto our plane and took off. After several hours the plane began to shake. Before any of the passengers knew, the plane was hurtling towards the ground. Panic spread throughout the plane and screams escaped everybody’s mouths, then, everything went black. We woke up to flames and loud noises everywhere. We rose and looked around in panic. Everybody was running around, looking for other people or their things. Finally, we split up and began to gather people in a place we decided on and tried as best we could to create order within the survivors. Some people looked for what we could use on the plane and others looked around the island in groups to see what would be useful for us. Others sat, crying and desperate for help.

People came out with seat cushions, small packages of peanuts, plastic containers, and even a broken radio was brought out by a larger man. These supplies were sorted through by the people who stayed behind, waiting for a task. Items that people agreed were useful were put into one pile and other items were thrown aside. The people who went to search the land returned, announcing that they had discovered that we were on a small island. Everybody knew that from that point forward, we would have to work for our survival. We agreed to separate the people into four groups. The first would look for food. The second group’s job was to find and build a fire. The third group was responsible for gathering anything to signal for help. Lastly, the fourth group was responsible for searching the island to see if there was a source of clean

    Stories about survival have been popular since, virtually, the beginning of time, as survival is the most important and primitive aspect of human lives. It is the force that drove our evolution and refined us to our current stature today, so it is no surprise that we are amused by tales of robust endurance against the most severe circumstances. The stories The Inheritor and Side Bet are two prime examples of our fascination with these types of tales, but, when comparing the two stories of survival, one reigns as superior, with more vivid details of the setting, greater and more dynamic characters, and a more compelling plot. Between the two stories The Inheritor by Frank Roberts, and Side Bet by Will F. Jenkins, Side Bet prevails as the better…

    My Rescue Plan If I was ever marooned on an island there would be many things I would to to be rescued. One thing I would need to do to be rescue is I would find a stick and make a fire and light up the stick to make a torch for someone to see me if it is dark when I am waving it. When I have the torch in my hand and I saw an aircraft or a boat I would chase down it and wave the torch and yell out that I am here.

Much like when John Donne, a famous philosopher says: “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main”. What can be taken away from both the question and quote is exactly this - humans were meant to be together. This way we can learn ‘common sense’, important lessons, and morals from others and go on to reshare them.…
