College Admissions Essay: Dilemma of the Deserted Island :: College Admissions Essays

Dilemma of the Deserted Island The following question has been asked What three things I would take with me if I were forced to live on a neglectful island? Here be my thoughts- 1. A YOUNG JACK RUSSELL TERRIER - Training him cleverness keep me occupied for a while and he could guard the mob at night (Hey, there might be large animals prowling the night. Which reminds me of my neighbor, Colin.) My main reason though, is to provide companionship. My first thought was to bring a valet de chambre companion, (me Jane, you Tarzan), but I dont crawl in anyone who would want to be stranded with me and I wouldnt want to live alone with someone I had brought against their will. Catch 22. 2. A MACHETE - It can act as a knife, ax, sword and if desperate, it could be used as a hot plate over a fire. No one told me what sort of island it would be, so Ive tried to think of the well-nigh versatile tool to bring. With a panga I should be fitted to make a shelter, fashion other tool s and spend many hours discipline to whittle. But I really think I would feel more secure with one in my hand if I was attacked by say, a hungry lion. You might be surprised what a sharp machete is capable of and I hope the lion would be too. 3. A sensitive SIZED COOKING POT - Ive done enough camping to know how difficult things can get without an easy way of cooking. It would also go up in handy for rendering animal fat for my home make lanterns, distilling salt water if there is no running water, (Most Australian islands are dry), it would catch the drips from the mandatory leak in my man-made shelter and in conclusion I could use it to make monotonous music to amuse the dog.
