besides thirteenpeople (?). A bunker has been set up to house four people for a year until it is safe for
themto be back in the world.The bunkeronlyhas limitedsuppliesandif any more than four people go

has mental instability of some sort.
For thisassignmentthe fourpeople thatIchose to save forthe bunkerwasthe doctor, pregnant
womanwiththe girl,the college professor,and the scientist.The reasonI chose the doctor wasbecause
they would obviously have the knowledge to take care of basic illnessesor even surgeries needed, they
would be able to deliver future babies including the baby of the pregnant woman. Lastly,it’s important
for the future children to be the most intelligent people we can create. Second, I chose the pregnant
womanwiththe littlegirl becauseof theirextremelyimportance inaddingtothe future generation.Ialso
chose for the woman to be a teacher so she would have knowledge of what children need to know and
howto doso. Havingtwowomen(althoughone isonlyachildfornow) givesabetterchance of addingto
the future population. Third, I chose the college professor, who specialized in engineering and business
sothat theywill havethe knowledge torecreatehomes,businesses,andothernecessarybuildings.Lastly,
I chose the scientisttobe a botanistsothat they’ll have someonewhoknowshow touse the seedsgiven
and who can grow food once they are out of the bunker.
