Introduction All living creatures have an instinctive desire to prolong their lives. Human beings can stay alive during dangerous and chaotic situations by using survival skills. In the short story, The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, Rainsford is able to defeat the evil-minded General Zaroff by navigatin gthe sense jungle of Ship Trap Island. In the online article, "How Fear Works," by Julia Layton, Layton describes the fight or flight response that can be controlled by a person in a life or death situation. Since knowing survival skills can help a person live longer, every person should take a course in survival skills.

November 25, 2013

Body ParagraphTaking  a  survival  skills  course  will  help  you  feel  prepared  for  any  situa7on.  In  the  short  story,  The  Most  Dangerous  Game  the  protagonist  Rainsford  falls  off  a  boat  and  finds  himself  alone  in  the  ocean  in  pitch  blackness.  Connell  writes,  “For  a  seemingly  endless  7me  he  forgot  to  see.  He  began  to  count  his  strokes;  he  could  possibly  a  hundred  more  then-‐-‐-‐Rainsford  heard  a  sound”(Connell  85-‐87).  Here,  Rainsford  remains  calm  in  the  situa7on  he  is  in  (stuck  in  the  middle  of  the  ocean),  listens  to  his  surroundings,  and  finds  land.  People  should  take  survival  courses  so  that  they  can  remain  calm,  cool,  and  collected  in  any  fearful  situa7on.  Also,  people  should  take  survival  course  classes  so  that  they  can  feel  comfortable,  confident,  and  beQer  able  to  manage  their  stress.  In  the  online  ar7cle  “How  Fear  Works,”  Julia  Layton  writes,  “Your  breathing  speeds  up.  Your  heart  races.  Your  muscles  7ghten.  A  split  second  later,  you  know  it’s  the  wind.  No  one  is  trying  to  get  into  your  home.  For  a  split  second,  you  were  so  afraid  that  you  reacted  as  if  your  life  were  in  danger"  (Layton  9).    If  you  learn  survival  skills,  these  physical  effects  like  your  heart  racing  or  your  breathing  speeding  up  will  feel  more  normal.    You  will  feel  more  confident  in  any  situa7on  that  occurs.
