Escape Into The Wild

If i were to escape into the wild the one place i would go is to the Amazon Rain Forest. I would go here because it is one of the most vast environments this earth has to offer where it would be virtually impossible for anyone to find me. Also another reason i chose the Amazon is because its incredibly large population and variety of animal. The Amazon Rain Forest is spread across the top of South America and engulfs about 9 different countries in it.

I will probably want to be there for about 6 months to give me a chance to see all the different wildlife and mysteries this strange place has to offer. Since this Rain Forest is so vast there is no chance anyone will find me so i could take a plane to get there even though it would have a log that i had went there. After the plane touched down i would have to hike into the Forest alone so that no one could follow me or know where i was.


I will need a max of 15 items during my trip: a backpack, guide on amazon vegetation and animals, map, several matches and lighters, a pot, a gun, change of cloths, sleeping bag, tent, a raft, camera, journal, knife, med kit, and fishing pole.

Since it is an international flight that i will be taking, food will be provided on the plane but i will have to use any and all saved up money i have plus some of my college fund to take this trip and to get the supplies i need which would be at least 15,000. Once i'm in South America i will buy a few bananas that will last a few hours then i will live off the land for the rest of the trip. Snakes, fruits, and monkeys will make for a good lunch everyday or even a alligator if i'm lucky.

On my trip the only thing i want to accomplish is to stay alive. The amazon is a dangerous place and it would be a great triumph to survive there by living off the land. The animal and plants i see will be recorded in my camera and i will keep a journal of all my struggles and day by day activities while i face the hardship of a solitary lifestyle. when i get back home my journey will never be complete until i finally go back and try to escape again.

Apple- Think Different


In this video i believe the author was talking about how throughout life your not always gonna see things like everyone else, you might see it better. Whether it's proving the world's not square, or enhancing the generation of technology for years to come, seeing and thinking different is what makes the world go around. Thinking bigger and seeing bigger is one of the things that push the world and its inhabitants forward no matter what people say. At first everyone who thinks different is considered crazy, a misfit, a troublemaker but "you can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them but the only think you cant do is ignore them". If your crazy enough to think you can change the world eventually you will be one of the few who have done so. 

I completely agree with what the author is trying to convey in this video because no matter what goes on in life if your crazy enough to try something you never know what could happen you might just save, change, or improve our way of life. Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Albert Einstein were all call crazy at some point in their struggles but continued to think differently and try and make a change and all three succeeded at some point. Life goes on even after were gone so what will you do to change the world, how will you "Think Different".
