Journal #3

If I was in a hostage situation, I would definitely be the the escapee. I think that if I was able to stay calm enough to think clearly in the situation, that I would be smart enough to get out. I sometimes worry about getting in a car accident when I'm driving by myself. I think that if I got stranded or in a car accident at night, I would be so scared if anybody stopped and got out of their car. If I was taken in a hostage situation, I would like to hope that they would not like tie me up and throw me in the trunk. i am going to admit that if anyone did tie me up and throw me in a trunk that I would not be the hero and escape. I think that I would cooperate for a while, so the hostage taker would begin to trust me and then I would pull of my super natural moves! I think that if the hostage taker was intent on raping or killing me though- I'd fight back. I am not the kind of person that will just roll over and let a hostage taker kill me. Believe me, I'll fight. I probably would have to thank Mrs. Jenkins for the occasional tips of self defense because that just may be my only option if I did happen to get into a hostage situation. I would like to think that the world could go along with out any weirdo creepy people that hold other people hostage, but you know what? i just do not think that that is every going to be the case. I have no idea why, but I guess there are always going to be those creepy weirdos that are going to want to take people. I just cannot imagine how somebody would be that nasty to want to "take" another person. i just cannot imagine. I really hope that I never get into a hostage situation because it would be really hard to stay calm enough to make good decisions.
