In a recent article by Ben Brumfield and Dana Ford, news reporters for CNN, the worldwide leader in news, entitled "Lost in the Wilderness: 72-Year-Old Man Survives 19 Days, Eating Lizards, Squirrel," Ben Brumfield and Dana Ford interprets Gene Penaflor's decision when he was lost, in the accident, and rescued.
As stated in the article, Brumfield and Ford notes, "They had split up at their base camp, walking over separate ridges, and were going to meet up down the path a few hours later for lunch. Penaflor never showed." Concluding from his decision, Penaflor, the 72-year-old man, was not aware of the "consequences" the future bestowed upon him. He definitely did not desire this predicament to happen, but he sure paid the price for being alone at an anonymous residence.
Evidently, the text quotes, "Instead, Penaflor focused on small game, foraged for algae in a stream and drank water from a creek. To stay dry, he crouched under a fallen tree, and to keep warm, he made a fire and packed dry leaves and grass around his body." Penaflor, struggling for survival, understood that he was troubled from the situation because after his accident, he was at a disadvantage; he was predictably concussed. Even though he did not seek luxury in his appetite, his decision to digest the disgusting food aided to his will for survival in the wretched Mendocino National Forest, located in northern California.
In the passage, the article indicates, "A hunter called the sheriff's office in the morning, saying he and his large group of friends could hear a man crying for help from down in a valley." Penaflor constructed this decision in order to be saved from the wilderness, signalling a siren of help. In support of his decision-making process, he also chose to do what he could to eat, drink, and most importantly, live!
In my perspective, I perceive my relationship within the article because when I was ten years old, I was lost during a hiking trip in Boy Scouts. As related to the text, this passage affiliates to the novel The Swiss Family Robinson because of the will to survive treacherous conditions, depicting the conflict man vs. nature. In displaying a worldwide view, one must take great knowledge and decision-making to not only survive nature, but to survive humanity. Uniquely humanity is a link of chains; all of the chains linked together are different by length, size, weight, or color whereas the chains accommodate similarities because all of the chains are chains.
In the final analysis, our decision-making process affects our culture, emotions, and reasoning by the different circumstances life positions us, people, in because Ralph Waldo Emerson conveys, "once [we] make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen."
