Answer 1

I have though to travel this world by sea and have started my journey a week ago. The journey was quite intrestion . Only when I have met with incident which had changed my life. there was a big wave which hit my ship and wrecked my ship into pieces. I had no one beside me and was very tensed. Then I saw an island which was very large and was abandoned. I felt that there was God's grace on me and with so many difficulties I have reached the island and the first thing I was searching for was food. All the food in the ship has sunk and there was no food. I have been walking miles on the island searching for food. it seemed that the end was approaching but after I reached the spot I saw that there was no end. On seeing the sand at the start I thought this used to be a beach but seeing sand everywhere I came into an realization that this island was a desert island. Sun was beating on me heavily,I was sweating , and was feeling thirsty. There was sand everywhere I go. the first that caught my eyesight was a big sandune. And then came a bizzare den which was very empty. I went in, and there was food in this den and my stomach was full looking at that food. it was already night and it was very cold and I had no blankets. I went to the place where my ship was wrecked and collected some wood and burnt them for heat. I spent .y first night sleeping in the den. the next morning I saw a mirage of Oasis and I was fooled by the desert. In desperate search of food I stared eating sand to fulfill my needs and day passed by. on 30 th day I saw a ship approaching and was shouting put for help. And then I went back to my country and media was showing up immediately and I was very stressed. all in all the desert adventure was actually intresting and I reduced my weight by 50% walking alot

Hannah Greenslade Y10 Coursework Assignment 2 5/11/01 Option 3 Task; You have been stranded on a desert island. Describe your first 24 hours alone on the island. The first thing that hit me was the smell. Even before I opened my eyes, I knew where I was. The tantalizing scent of washed-up waves and bananas all rolled into one. I felt the millions of grains of sand, hot against my fingers and the cool breeze against my face, - a relief from the sweltering sun. I heard the sea crawling onto the sand and, further away, the same monster dashing against the rocks. As I opened my mouth to take in a gulp of air, I tasted salt in my throat. Not the same taste as on Brighton Pier, when you look over into the sea, but a fresh, clean one, as if taking in pure oxygen. Only then, when my four other senses had taken in their share of my surroundings, did I allow myself to open my eyes. I was amazed at how easily fantasy and reality intertwined at that moment. It was like continuing a dream after waking up. As I lifted my eyelids, as the barrier between my imagination and actuality was removed, the accuracy of my prediction astounded me. ...read more.

After several attempts, I coaxed a small blaze from the pile, which I fed until it got going properly. Then I lay on my back and gazed at the stars, "Swallows and Amazons" style, until my campfire was down to its last orange embers. I folded my jumper into a pillow and lay down in my cave- bedroom. Soon I was drifting into the land which they call sleep, the land where nothing really matters. I don't know whether I dreamed that night or not, but I knew that for the first time in my life, I was genuinely happy. The sun awakened me, beating down hot and yellow. My watch said 4:15, it obviously wasn't waterproof! I stood up and wandered down to a large, smooth, flat rock by the water, a perfect diving board. I stripped down to my underwear, took a deep breath and dived into the luxuriously cool water. I rose to the surface, spluttering. After regaining myself, a rush of sudden happiness took over my body. I splashed about, screaming and yelling, beating the water with my palms and turning somersaults in the water. I was ecstatic to be completely stress-free with nothing and no one to bother me. I could stay there as long as I liked, no one would miss me and no one would come looking for me. ...read more.

Conclusion

I remembered my slightly uncomfortable sleep the night before and set about trying to construct some sort of hammock. I found several long branches, bend them into the right shape and secured them with thick grasses. I then found some large, plate sized leaves which I placed over the holes. I pulled the stuffing out of the coat that I no longer needed and arranged it on top. I secured the mattress with more big leaves pegged down with little twigs. I used my bootlaces to hang it with so it was with great strain that it managed to take my weight. My construction was a darn sight more comfortable than the ground and I was quite proud of it. I settled down on my hammock to reflect on the day. I wasn't worried about being stranded forever. One, there were regular ships which passed by, so if I really wanted to, I could make a smoke signal to be rescued. And two, I was having the time of my life and probably would stay for weeks, months, maybe even years to come. I was glad that I was the only one on this tiny island. It was no one else's but mine and I could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Maybe someday I would return home, but at that moment, I was perfectly happy where I was. ...read more.
