Answer:

Cheryl Strayed told lie to the skiers for being lost because if she would have said that she is lost, they would have rescued her only to end her trail.

Explanation:

'Wild' is a memoir written by Cheryl Strayed of her hiking a thousand miles journey from Pacific Crest Trail to Washington State. She took the route from Pacific Crest Trail to the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washinton State. She completed her journey in ninety-four days.

<u>In her book, titled 'Wild' she said that when she was on the Pacific Crest Trail, a group of three skiers asked her if she is lost, not knowing anything about hiking, Strayed still lied to them that she was not lost. She told them a lie because if she would have told them that she is lost, they would have rescued her and she would not have been able to continue her trail.</u>

Letter to your teacher with the most creative excuse about why you couldn’t do the work (yes, make it up!) 10 sentences
kicyunya [14]
If it’s online school:

Hello Mr/Mrs. ____,
I regret to inform you that I was unable to do my assignments today. I know it is no excuse, but my WiFi has been extremely bad lately and we plan and getting a new provider soon. At a time like this, pretty much everyone in the town/city is using the WiFi and it’s causing it to go extremely slow. In fact, earlier today my WiFi shut off out of nowhere and yes, we have payed it. I have siblings and they are also trying to do their homework assignments and go into their zoom classes; which of course, causes it to go even slower. We even try to have everyone else in the house to not get on the WiFi if they’re not doing any school related things, but it doesn’t seem to work. I’m truly sorry for this roadblock that has come up. I’m not sure if this email will even send or when it will send. When/if it does, is it possible that you can give me an extension or?

Thank you.

(Sorry it’s not so creative lol)
