Problems and Solutions

Death was standing right before my eyes. How in the world was I going to survive with a Bengal tiger on board with me? How would I defend myself if he attacks? I needed answers to these questions Since I discovered a trunk under the tarpaulin full of helpful survival tools, the best idea was to try to think of any possible way I could use the items to defend myself against Richard Parker. Some of the items that were very useful to me in the trunk were oars, life jackets, and a life buoy. You're probably pondering on how such items could be used to help me, aren't you? They float. I can make a floatation device outside of the lifeboat to distance myself from Richard Parker when the time is needed. I put the oars through the life jackets and securely tied them with a rope that was lifelessly laying in the trunk. After putting a lot of hard work into my raft, it finally came through. It wasn't the best raft a castaway could ask for, but it was the best that I could ask for.

My clothes disintegrated, which led to my bare skin taking in the sun all day long. I had no shade. The trunk did not have sunscreen, or any extra clothing. Richard Parker lounged underneath the shaded tarpaulin during the gruesome hot hours of the day. An idea had hit me with a thunderous "boom". Turtle Shells! I could use turtle shells to shelter myself! I gathered up all the turtle carcasses around the boat and made myself shelter by stacking them in a circular form. Turtle shells didn't only help me with shade, but they were useful by acting as bowls and knives!
