Plane Crash Survivors


There are many emotions experienced by the survivors:

1. Excitement – during the beginning of the flight
2. Hope – when heard that there were search parties looking for them
3. Frustration and irritation – when no rescue teams found them
4. Frightening – when realized that they were dying because of food shortage
5. Shock and disgust – when heard the idea of eating human flesh
6. Grief – after the deaths of some survivors caused by the avalanche
7. Joy – when the young men found the peasant

The survivors are motivated by the physiological needs for survival. The first thing they did after the plane crash was finding a shelter to protect them from the cold weather; then, they melted snow to get water. The next thing they did was finding food, which was the food from the air plane, but after all those food were gone, they started eating the dead bodies. After the avalanche, the survivors were motivated to dig out of snow because they needed air.
