What are some good short stories about wilderness survival appropriate for 7th graders?

notahuckabee asked:


I’m teaching a unit on survival surrounding Jack London’s The Call of the Wild. We’re focusing on the idea of primordial instinct and the questionably immoral things that people and animals do when survival instincts kick in. We’re also talking about which of those things we consider excusable and inexcusable and why.

I’m looking for short stories (preferably fiction rather than totally true personal narratives) that focus on these themes. Ideally, I’d like to have them read something that isn’t about the cold — maybe something about a desert, ocean, or tropical location would work better.

Any ideas?

I’ve been told that women prefer ****** short stories and things far more than actual ****.

Does anyone here read them? Ever read something on a taboo topic?

Would you enjoy it if your lover wrote one for you?
Heh, I imagine there is a site out there that combines all those.

Something with those Weasleys.
