Writer's Block: Help, I need somebody!
Unfortunately, I don't have much of a sense of self-preservation, so I would probably not even realize I had risked my life until after all was said and done. If I actually survived, that is. Although in answer to the question, I would choose to risk my life to try to save someone if they were in danger. I would definitely try to save anyone, but if it were a child I would probably be more likely to actually die in order to make sure they survived. As for the animal part of the equation, it would depend on whether I think about it before hand. If I didn't, I'd probably go after it, but if I did think, it depends on how high I'd calculate the risk factor to me and my chances of success. Sometimes I wouldn't consider something risking my life even though it is really dangerous. Cause I'm special that way.
