If I Were Stranded on an Island

If I were stranded on an island and I could bring three people, one person I would take with me would be my dad. I would bring him because when you are stuck on an island you can panic, which can lead to carelessness, and I think my dad would comfort me. I also chose to bring him because he is a physician, and so he could oversee everyone’s health. The last two reasons I chose to bring him is because he can help think of what to do when we are stranded on an island and because he has had some camping experience. Another person I would bring would be the construction worker who is working on the house across the street from mine, because when we are on the island we need shelter and so he could supervise the building. The last person I would take with me to the deserted island, I would bring my friend Mari from Japan because I barely ever get to see her and what better time is there to chat than when you are stuck on an island. I would also bring her because she can also plan what to do when we are stuck on an island.

One item I would bring with me to an inhabited island would be a two-way, manual radio, because if no one knows where we are or that we are lost and stuck on an island, we could radio in and send for help. Another thing I would take with me would be a Swiss Army knife, because it has many purposes. It can be used to capture and kill an animal, cut things, first aid, and much more. The last thing I would bring would be a survival guidebook. A survival guidebook is useful because it can tell you how to create a shelter, make a fire, and show you which plants to eat.

With these people and items, I think I could survive on an island until help comes.
