How I would survive on the deserted island? (Write a paragraph of at least 180 words)

I would survive for about 2-3 weeks. By using the book to avoid getting bored and keeping me busy, I can stay sane on a deserted island alone. "The Song of Achilles" is a large chapter book, so by estimating I would expect it to last me about 4-5 days, using the book to keep me occupied will help me think clearly of a way to survive and escape the island. The sand castle kit is also something to distract me from the fear and negative thoughts of being stranded in a deserted island in the middle of nowhere. I chose to bring along cucumbers and watermelon in my survival kit because a large percent of this fruit and vegetable is made of water, so while providing me with essential nutrients and vitamins as most foods do, they will also be a crucial source of fresh water. And last but certainly not least, I would have lots of water brought along to keep me hydrated and healthy while I wait for a rescue boat or helicopter.
