Desert Island

September 20 - If you were trapped on a desert island, what are three items you would take with you?

I keep thinking,
years ago,
before the age of cell phones
and iPads,
this prompt would have so much more meaning.
I've done this with my students
and I keep getting iPhone and iPads.
I think something gets lost 
in the experience of thinking
when they go electronic. 

So,
I'm going to do this
the non-electronic way.

1) Book
I am torn between taking an Anne Rice book
or JR Ward book. 
I'm thinking which ever book
survives the reason I'm on this island
is the one I'll...
well.....
take!

2) Picture
I'm assuming I'm alone 
on this island.
And if I'm alone,
I want Ethan and Scott with me.
And if they cannot be with me physically,
I'll take them with me
through a photograph.

3) A Journal
I hope it's ok to also include
a pen here.
But if I'm going to be stuck alone,
I'll need to write my crazies down.

I like your list! I don't really see the point in including electronics either. Where would you charge it lol :)

Your answers are perfect. I think I would do exactly the same.
