Journal Entry #5
The remainder of the group felt sorry for the rookie we found encased in ice, I however felt no positive emotion towards him. He was an ignorant fool, with minimum respect towards anyone and showed no sign of consequential importance to the conclusion of our journey. His death was the arctic's privilege to take, and well-deserving of it as well. About sixty meters away we located each and every one of his matches succumbed to the snowy base of a tree. He had no concern for his valuable heat and failed to succeed in his battle for what he so thought was precious life. Mere hours after we returned to camp, I assigned my dog the worthless task of looking for him. About fifteen minutes later, my dog returned with a black and white husky, whimpering to request our presence in a nearby area. I announced that two men will follow me by lead of the dog. Immediately, two men arose from their tents and presented me with positive attitudes. After finding the man no condolenses were held for that descendant of idiots. He was left and ignored, we will not be telling anyone of this.

Lady or the Tiger Resolution
We all wonder how that intense evening was resolved. Of course, the princess moitioned to the door to the right, however, it was not told what was behind the door, and the hero believed the princess was simply attempting to kill him, for he too believed he knew what was behind each door, he did not. He calmly proceeded to the right, hoping for the maid. As he placed his hand upon the door, he quickly withdrew, then rushed towards the other, smashing it open in a truculent motion, eager to appeal his wants. His eyes widened and he began to fret, as a tiger lay asleep, steadily, he receeded. The king ejected from his seat, then emitted a barbaric noise from his mouth in a horrific manner, requesting he immediately be stoned to death or executed, the crowd was exhilarated as the king declared he immediately be stoned to death, as the audience rushed forth, he ran behind the tiger's cage and noticed a whip placed behind him. He rapidly began thrusting it forward at the tiger as he remained sheltered by the metal bars that separated the two, the tiger hence forth, only to swipe the metal bar. Suddenly the tigers door burst open and the crowd began to retreat, the tiger leaped towards the crowd tearing each individual apart piece by piece, the king was electrified at the spectacle that behold. He had never been this excited in his life, he was seeing something more amazing than anything he had ever perceived before. He requested the battle be stopped at once, for the princess's lover had entertained him an extreme amount. The hero watched as five men sprinted into the eccentric battlefield and quickly roped the tiger, forcing it to withdraw. "My dear boy," announced the king, "I now understand that you are much more than a peasant, you are a magnificent man of high intellect who I require to be with my daughter, please, I now realize, it would be an honor!" The hero gladly accepted this request then exited the cage, for he was married on the spot to the beautiful young woman and lived in harmony with the princess for the rest of his uneventful life.
