Journal #1, Darcy

Last night was the first night on the Island. I still can’t believe what happened earlier when the plane crashed. Only a few of the passengers survived including me. The first night on the island was very cold and damp. We did not have enough time to create a shelter so we had to sleep on the ground close to another for body heat. Hopefully by tonight we will have a shelter started or built so we will be sheltered from the elements. To build this we will need to make plans and find materials that are on the island to create our island. We will also need some of the survivors to collect things like firewood and food. We also need to figure out what resources are available to us on the island for future need. We will need to elect a leader soon to be able to delegate tasks. If we elect a leader and he gives us a job we don’t like it will be our own fault because we voted for them. Also the leader can help keep us civilized so we will treat each other properly. There was a big storm last night but luckily we did not lose any of our supplies. We do not have many supplies because it was all we could find around the crash spot. If we use our supplies properly we should be able to use them for things like food and shelter. Hopefully someone will find the island and take us back home soon. (256)
