The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things.I made two lists：one of all the bad things about my situation，and the other of all the good things.

BAD I am alone.There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. I have no warm clothes. I don't have much protection against wild animals.

GOOD I survive the terrible storm.I am alive. It's hot here，so I don't need warm clothes. There aren't any wild animals here. I can live well because I was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship.

Sometimes it rained all day，so I had to stay inside.It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn't have candles.Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals.I did the same.They didn't give much light，but they were better than nothing.
    I looked at my lists and I thought， "These lists show something important.We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it.I must stop feeling sad and sorry for jye.aiself.My new life is here，on this island.I must make it as comfortable as I can."
    I started by making my house stronger.I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain.I put up some shelves and I put my things on them.I made some furniture—two tables and a chair.They weren't very beautiful but they were very useful.I made a small cave at the back of my house.It was cool and a good place to keep food.I called it my "kitchen".
    Time passed quickly because I was always busy.In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog.I caught birds and small animals for food.When I came back，I worked until about 11 o'clock.Then I prepared something to eat.I rested between midday and 2 o'clock because it was very hot.In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island.At 7 o'clock，I went to bed as it got dark early on the island.
