Imagine that you, your family, and a few of your friends must live in the midst of this

wilderness. You must find a way to get food from the land, set up shelter, and organize
yourselves into a semblance of society. Describe your day in a well-written, detailed
paragraph. Where do you sleep? How do you get food or what kind of foods do you think are available? What are your responsibilities (gender roles)? Are you close to your
community? What kind of food dodo you eat?Then in the next paragraph, compare and contrast the differentces to how you live today.

Answer:

In the wilderness, I would make a series of huts with sticks and vine, and make a coverage for the frame of the hut with large leaves so if it were to rain or be windy, there would be some sort of protection. Depending on the creatures in this wilderness, I would either use a bed of pine needles or I would take more time to build a small elevated cot from sticks and vines. If it's anywhere in western North America, I would hunt for game and set snares for rabbits and squirrels. I could also pick Thimble-berries. I would also gather clover, cattail root, and slivers of pine wood to boil. the pine wood isn't edible, but it adds a good flavor to the water. If there's a stream nearby, I could fish by hand and gather seaweed. It's almost a promise that there will be wild dandelion greens available to eat. Also in the stream, I could hunt for katniss root. My roles would be to teach people how to hunt and gather supplies and food, set up guard posts and schedule a watch day and night, and to make sure everything is distributed equally and fairly. I would consider myself to be close to my community. We could eat fish, squirrel, frog, rabbit, boiled katniss root, cattail root, clover, dandelion greens, thimble-berries, seaweed, and other vegetation or wild animals. I'd also have to gather firewood. I'd look for cedar wood, and dried pine needles, because they make for good fires. I'd have to look for oak or maple wood if I were to have longer fires, because oak and maple burn longer.

Today, people don't know much about hunting or gathering edible plants in the wild. People don't have to worry about going hungry or struggling for survival. All you have to do is go to the store and buy pre-packaged foods. There's no need for guard posts or keeping watch because we have a government system that provides that. We don't need to know how to build fires, because we have electrical heaters. In today's society, everything is provided for us. We hardly need to work for anything.
