W1- The Colony

The Colony

There is a new reality show on the discovery channel called The Colony. This show is about how complete strangers would survive if something would to happen that killed most of the world's population. All together this is a realistic show except for 1 aspect, the cast.

The producers of this show have made sure the setting of the show is very true to what it would be like the real life. They start with a huge abandon factory, limited food, and no power. The colonist have to achieve certain tasks and have to be able to defend for their colony against other colony attacks.

The colonist consist of rocket scientist, criminals, carpenters and anyone else that it would be nice to have in your colony. the show to me would be completely accurate if they would of picked the people better. The cast consists of real people but they are the best at their field. They know how to do every single last task they knew how to make gas out of wood or could make any weapon and even hooking up solar power. To me in most cases you wouldn't have any of these type of people

Everyone I have talked to believe this would be a true situation. to me the chance of you being able to form a colony with people who are the best in their field will never happen and that is why I believe this show is not true to helping people survive if this would truly happen.

Letter of Introduction

Dear Stephanie,

There are several interesting things about me, too many to talk about. First off my name is Colton Collins. I grew up in a very small town and went by a lot of nick names. I have several hobbies and future dreams.

I grew up in the town of Gridley, the population is less than 1300 so everyone knew each other. I come from medium family. I have 3 brother named; T.j, Brandon, and Cody. My mom and dad's names are Bonnie and Tim. Over the years I acquired several nicknames some of them I liked and some I didn't. I was a chubby baby and one of my aunts started to call me cowbaby which stuck for about 4 or 5 years. I always hated when people would call me that when I knew what they were talking about that, but somehow it still ended up a part of my email I use today. There were several other nick names over the years that didn't last long, until my brother got pissed off at me and started to call me BUTTER for a certain reason. I still go by butter to this today.

I have many hobbies that I enjoy doing. My favorite hobby is being on the computer doing graphic design posters. I like to catch a game on Xbox 360 mainly halo 3 once in a while. When the weather permits and I have the money I love to go out and paintball. I am a part of a small team named Vandalyz. I am hoping to graduate from ICC to open my own T-Shirt company and go part time to get my bachelors degree at Bradley.

My life will keep getting more interesting as I continue school. Either by new hobbies or new nicknames. All in all that is me in a nutshell.

Sincerely,

Colton Collins
