If I as a main character in this movie, I do not want to live very long time on the island alone. I will try my best to get out from the island. I do not want to eat the raw food such as fish, and crabs. I will not pretend to climb the cave that nearby a sea, because I was afraid to be in high places. I will try to make the raft as soon as possible. I will not hurt myself and try my best to protect myself from the rain storm.
