Please don't eat me

Summer reading essay
Junior- the absolutely true diary of a part time Indian
Matt-house of the scorpions

  Two teens were chosen at random, they were picked to go to an isolated island for 1 week.  They only people who would be on this island would be the two teens chosen. The point of this would be to see how teens who don't know each other, would react if put together and not have a choice other than to get along, or part ways and have to live on their own.
  Junior arrived to the island first. He scoped it out a little, the small island it was. The first thing he did was collect sticks so he could build some fire and shelter. Being from this Indian tribe he knew how to do these kind of things. He built his fire and just waited until he would meet his hopefully called friend. He saw a plane land on the other side and went to go check it out.
   As Matt was landing he saw someone moving, he assumed it was the other teen. As soon he judged him, checking what kind of condition he was in, seeing if he was smart looking or not. Matt landed and walked around, towards where he saw Junior and waited.
  As soon as they saw each other they shared smiles and went to introduce each other. They shared some information about each other, where their from and such. Junior showed Matt the fire he built and the where he thought the shelter should be. Matt agreed for the most part.  
   Matt being the genius he was, never stopped thinking about different ways to do things. He thought the shelter could be in a better location, but he kept his mouth shut, knowing that he would be together for a week he thought it would be better if they just got a long.
“Hey, im Matt.”

“Junior” he replied, giving a gentle handshake.

“So... this is kind of awkward” Matt said.

“Just a little (chuckle) but we should get used to it, we’re going to be together for a while” said Junior with a smirk.

“Very true” replied Matt.

“Well i’v already started making a shelter and a fire, i’v had some experience before so i thought i might as well keep busy, while i waited for you.”

“Oh good! That will probably save us some time later on, my old body guard had taught me a few things on survival outside, he showed me whaat plants to eat and stuff like that” Matt said.

“That should come in handy!, If i’m going to be stuck on this island for a week, im glad its with someone who has survival skills like you!” Junior said cheerfully.

“Same! I feel like we will get along just fine!”



   After 3 days Matt and Junior argued on few things, but got along like best friends. They found a bunch of things to do, Junior taught Matt some Indian things and Matt taught Junior things that his bodyguard had taught him. They were struggling on finding food because they were on an island but they managed.
  The week had gone by and Matt and Junior didn't want to leave. They were having the best time being friends and not having to live with rules or people telling them what to do. It was hard for them both to adjust but they did it fine.
   The study's showed that strange teens get along well when others not peer pressuring them or others not egging things on. It also showed teens need to learn more real life skills rather than doing things that will not help them when they graduate.
