Cruelty and savagery are all parts of human nature. Today's society is based on survival and what choices one must make in order to survive in this harsh world. If I were to be stranded on a uninhabited island as the boys in The Lord Of The Flies were, I believe the skills that I have acquired would enable me to survive. One reason I would survive is because I am a very hard worker and would make sure that all the tasks needed to be done around the island are taken care of. Another reason why I would survive on the island is because I am athletic and would enjoy the nice walks I would be able to go on around the island and would already possess the physical strengths and abilities that would be required to survive there. Another quality that I possess which would help to ensure my survival is my friendly and easygoing personality which I feel would be of great help to me in order to get along with all of the other children on the island. .
Everyone who survived in The Lord Of The Flies were hardworking and never gave up which is why having this quality would help to better ensure my survival on the island. I am always working hard and striving to do my best both inside and out of school. I put a great deal of effort into all of my school work and make sure that all of it is completed on-time. I also help with tasks around my home and cottage. At home I help with everyday tasks such as taking out the garbage and washing the dishes and I also tackle larger tasks like painting my bedroom. At my cottage I assisted in laying down a tile floor and I regularly clear brush and stack wood. I also participate regularly in fundraising activities for my church youth group. Some activities that I have taken part in are garlic planting, garage sales and barbecue, and teaching children Sunday School. These various experiences give proof of my abilities to work hard and would thus contribute to my survival skills.
