The Adventures of Buck, Farah, and Piper
Farah Ahmedi walked several miles through desert mountains to escape to Pakistan. Piper McCloud used teamwork, determination, and imagination to escape I.N.S.A.N.E and keep her ability to fly. Buck undertook the mission of adapting to the wild, so he would be able to survive. However, all three were patient, determined, and used the help of others in order to achieve their goals.
Without the help of Ghulam Ali and a positive mind, Farah Ahmedi wouldn’t have been able to escape Pakistan.

As the text states, “I think Piper’s right. I say we escape” (Forester 209). Additionally, “The escape was far from easy” (Forester 210). Together, Piper and Conrad came up with a near-impossible escape plan that would hopefully turn out successful. As the text states, “You see, they employ a two-pronged approach. Breaking a subject down mentally is half the battle; the other half requires drugs” (Forester 185). Additionally, “They know that if the specimen does not use its ability for a certain period of time, the ability will be lost forever” (Forester 182). This shows that Piper’s goal was worthy and necessary because if she hadn’t escaped, she would’ve been completely damaged physically and mentally, she would’ve lost her flying ability, and she wouldn’t have returned to her family. According to Forester, “I’m home, Piper spoke finally, kicking her toe into the dirt” (Forester 308). Additionally, “Ever since Daisy and Myrtle had taken over the institute, things had changed drastically.

Piper as well as the other members on Level 13 were successful in escaping, and ended up taking over the institute while they were at …show more content…

Buck was beat and traded constantly for no reason, and even though it was very difficult, he fought back to survive. As the text states, “Buck had sprung in on the instant; and at the end of the three hundred yards, amid a mad swirl of water, he overhauled Thornton” (London 77). This proves that Buck had so much confidence and determination that he didn’t even hesitate to jump into a roaring lake and risk his life to save his owner, John Thornton. As London states, “Buck stood and looked on, the successful champion, the dominant primordial beast who had made his kill and found it good” (40). Buck was very successful, and became the leader of the wolf pack and a great example of a wolf adapted to the
Inmate #11187-424 In 1993, twenty-four year old Piper Kerman flew to Belgium with a suitcase full of money that would be passed off to a West African drug lord.

By giving orders, and showing the power that he possesses, buck started to adapt to his new life in a way that he started to evolve into being a beast in the wild. Killing Spitz and his strong influence that buck have over the others dogs, started to strongly change bucks mental state as this quote emphasizes “As Spitz dissipated from view. Buck stood and looked on, the successful champion, the dominant primordial beast who had made his kill and found it good.”
As the sled stopped buck fell to the ground powerless. He felt as of he were floating and if he weren't alive anymore. And when the time came to get back up, Buck watched every dog crawl to their feet with multiple attempts. But Buck just laid there with the power of thinking enough was enough and he didn't move. Hal was beating him with the club so Buck could get up but still he didn't move, he just laid there feeling less; he could no more feel the pain from the strikes of the club and he was in his power to give up.
