James Caird Fault

If you were on a trip you had bad thoughts about, but still went and those bad thoughts became reality would it have been your fault? Imagine this, the trip was an adventure in a random jungle, which has mysterious creatures and the weather can be terrible at some points. As you went you had negative thoughts about a creature coming up to you and harmed you but also in fact as that happened a storm came leaving you without any food and or any shelter. The question is would it have been your fault this has happened, in other words would it have been your fault for continuing in the jungle? Should people in life or death situations be held account for their actions? Yes people should be held accountable for their actions because if they knew

To start off an example would be from the story The Voyage of the James Caird, “ The men were soaked to the bone and frostbitten.” This just proves that on their voyage there was no sign of them having a terrible weather until they actually got there. The weather was something that happened out of their control. Another example would be from the story To Build a Fire, “The old timer on Sulphur Creek was right, he thought in the moment of controlled despair that ensued: after fifty below, a man should travel with a partner.” Well even though this man didn’t take this advice seriously it’s normal for a person to want to achieve something on their own you can’t blame someone for that can you? No, however it is common in situations like these for a person to take advice very seriously. To conclude the claim why people shouldn’t be held accountable is for last example from the story The Cost of Survival, “Some people wind up in trouble because of bad luck, but others make dangerous choices.” Now this explains it all, there are two separate groups in which need to be treated differently because people with bad luck is better than having the problem be caused
