200 Word.....Who should survive?

The storm has hit us hard and there is only room for five of us in the life boat. Who will get to survive? This will be a very tough decision, but we do not have long to decide. First, we must pick out the good and useful people. I think that it would be a bad idea to pick out someone really dingy, that would only cause us more problems. I personally think that Dr. Dane would do very well with us, he has good health and knows how to work with boats. Bobby would be quite helpful, he has been through survival training and he can help out a lot. Mr. Blake is a hand man, he can provide all the knowledge for all the hands on things. I would have to think really hard about Mr. Newton. The only good thing about him, is that he can take care of any medical problems that may arrise. Jean Garcia is only three months old, and can not save himself. So it would only be right that we save him as well. Now that we have a crew, it is time to rush to shelter. There is absolutely no hope for us, but we must do our best to live as long as we possibly can. To survive is not a gift, but something you have to work at.
