Mmm.... Maybe
1. torchlight
2. a small first aid bag
3. a tent
4.many bottles of mineral water
5. my camera
Why?
All the things that I bring are very important stuff. Like when it is in the night I will need a torchlight as the place that I am going is a deserted place. If I don't bring it, I will be playing blind mice in he place. A small first aid bag, well I am a person who love plasters so just a small cut I will need a plaster. But anyway carrying a first aid bag is safe, so if i am sick or I fell the first aid box will come in handy. Now the most important of all are the tent and 8 bottles of mineral water. Without a tent where am I going to sleep don't tell me in the bag where I put all my clothes? Everyone knows that without water we are not able to survive as we would be thirst to death! Lastly my camera, actually bringing the camera is not really important. But to me it is, the subject science to me is a horrific subject so in this trip would be able to take pictures of different types of plants maybe poisonous one, a leave that looked like an animal etc then bring it home and check he internet. So in this trip i may be able to brush up my subject.(interacting with things around us) :) ;)
1) a first aid kit
2) lighter
3) sleeping bag
4) knife
5) lots and lots of water
Why :
I would bring a first aid kit just incase i get injured and infected, a lighter is to heat things up when i am cold and it would also provide me with light when it is dark, a sleeping bag for me to sleep on because i dont get used to sleeping on a hard surface without any blanket covering me and i do not want to get dirty, knife is for my protection and defense if there is anyone trying to hurt me and it is also useful for me to cut or slice somthing, water is to quench my thirst if i am thirsty or exhausted.

I would bring a knife, a compass, a first aid kit, a jacket and a lighter. I would bring a knife to kill animals for food, cut the stems of a plant for water and protect myself from predators. I would bring a compass so that I can find my way and know which direction I am going, if I get lost. I would bring a first aid kit because if I get injured, I can bandage myself so it can heal faster. I would bring a jacket to cover myself and keep myself warm at night, so when I sleep, I will not catch flu so easily. I would bring a lighter to cook the animals I killed, use it as torchlight to find my way in the dark and build a fire to keep myself warm.

1. Lighter
2. Cooking pot
3.Clothes
4.Tissue box(200 sheets)
5.Swiss knife
1.Lighter-I don't think in the middle of the night when there's no light there would be a street lamp provided in a deserted island for me so this is when the lighter is a great hero,not only to see but also keep me warm when the temperature is really low.
2.Cooking pot-I choose not to bring water bottles along with me because imagine the weight of all of the bottles of water that i have to carry.I would prefer to get some water from the lakes or the beach and boil it,and if i am lucky enough to make a fishing rod and fish,i can use it to cook the fish.
3.Clothes-This is something i would never forget if i am leaving my country,to keep myself warm.Change if i stink.(Don't laugh,not funny)
4.Tissue box-For me,i think tissue is really quite important and for hygine purposes its a big thing.
5.Swiss Knife-Somehow,to protect myself and to use it to cut fruits and maybe fishes.
-These is all i need to bring if something like this would happen to me and if you ask me what would i do to spent the rest of the time,i guess explore!(and hope i am lucky enough to survive.)~Audrey Lee
1)Swiss army knife
2)2 gallons of water
3)First Aid Kit(include seawater desalting kit)
4)fishing kit
5)A packet of hard bread
The swiss army knife is for multipurpose use such as cutting fruits , vegetables and meat . 2 gallons of water for drinking , fishing kit for fishing for fish if there is nearby waters , seawater desalting kit for desalting seawater and first aid kit for nursing wounds . last but not least , A packet of hard bread which is high in calories to survive for a few days.
1)A huge water bottle. (with water inside of course!)
2)Few pieces of bread.
3)A matchbox.
4)Paper.
5)First-aid Kit.
Explanation~
1)Water is one of the most important daily needs. If there is no water, I reckon nobody can survive unless there is no such thing as water in this world.
2)Bread is the only thing that can make me full, even a little piece.(I'm speaking the truth.)
3)When night falls, I can light up a matchstick and see what is going on around me and I can also get warmth so I would not freeze to death.
4)I can burn paper instead of wood to help and save the trees!(I don't know if this can be counted or not.)
5)I can bandage my wounds if i get injured.
If i was to pack my own survival kit,this is what i will pack:
- My jacket
- A box of matches
- Food(biscuits...)
- First aid kit
- Mosquito repellent
My jacket to prevent me from getting cold as the forest is really cold at night. A box of matches so that i get warmth and light. It is also good for scaring out animals that might hurt me and steal my food. Food is, of course, essential for survival so if i am injured and cannot hunt for food (animals),those biscuits can be used as backup. First aid kit to bandage my wounds if i am injured by something. Mosquito repellent because i truly hate those mozzies.

Reflection on Hatchet Debate
I would like to applaud the 39 individuals for bringing such a professional quality to the debate - all contributed to its success and the 'energy' that resulted from this concerted effort will be converted into greater motivation for 6 Grace.

In what ways did the debate fit my learning style?
Has it influenced the way I perceive English and Literature?
What did the debate show us about the 'tricks' authors use to captivate the heart and mind of the reader?
I had such pleasure hosting the debate and I felt the true magic of 6 Grace.
