Hi there, I live on a very big island so I am going to describe my island. My island has lots of cozy, dark caves for shelter which helps in winter because then if the strong winds are too strong then my tribe and I can go to the caves and stay there until the strong winds are gone. My island also has lots of nature. Nature is helpful because if my tribe run out of one type of fruit then my tribe can eat another type while the other fruit is still growing. The island that I live on is everything that I need. The island is very calm and has a lot of animals living on the island. Lots of animals living the island means that my tribe and I get a lot of food. That's how I would describe my island.

Now I will tell you how I was left alone on my island. My family and I was walking on the beach letting the wind blow on our faces. This was a tradition my family did. A few years passed by, they weren’t so great. My tribe died with sickness and I was left with my brother.

The next day I went out to gather some Chimico fruit, a special fruit that only grew in springtime. I collected a basketful of Chimico fruit. Then I went back to where I had built a house. But when I went into my house I saw Brother with blood spilling out of his body. I looked outside on the ground, I saw footprints. They looked like they belonged to the deadliest creature that lived on our island, Mamutoi bear. I took my brother to the place where we would bury the people that died in our tribe. I prayed everyday for the people that died in my tribe, especially my brother. I went back to my house and started a fire to cook the Chimico fruit. Then I slept till morning. I woke and made a spear out of the arrowhead my father had given me on my birthday. I then went to the cave of the Mamutoi bear. Inside I saw that it was sleeping. I was about to bring down the spear into the Mamutoi's stomach, but something stopped me. I heard something behind me. I turned and saw another giant Mamutoi bear. Then the other one that was sleeping woke up. I looked up at it, it was like ten feet tall!! I was so scared that I was trapped.

I found a way to get out. I stabbed one of the bears and slipped under the other while it was gawking at what I had done to its friend. I opened the cave opening and ran out. I then turned around and rolled a rock in front of the opening just as the last bear was face-to-face with me. When I got home I told myself that I would kill whatever that came into my way. The next day I fashioned a spear, some bows and arrows, and fishing hook. I went out to test them out. I first went to the oceanside to test my hook. I threw it and reeled it in. I caught a large salmon. I went back to my house to weave another basket for the salmon I had caught. I didn’t put it in. I put it outside so it could dry. I then went back to find some more food. I saw a Salaca seal there, an animal that hardly comes out of its cave. I snuck up to it and stabbed my spear into it. I brought it back to my house and cooked it over a fire and ate it. I was going to test out the other weapons but I was too tired. I saw ships coming toward the island which I thought would kill me. But, the people on the front boat told me to come aboard. They said that a big storm was headed this way. I hurried back and packed everything. I climbed on and we left. The next day, we arrived.
