1. In my book right now Brian is trying to get food for himself because he is starving. At this very moment he is pondering how he can get some meat into his diet.Brian is considering trying to spear a larger and slower rabbit because he can get close to them. Also because if he has to chase the rabbit it is slower and less agile then the smaller. That what is going on in my book right now.


2. So far I feel like I like this book because I feel like I can put myself in Brian's shoes. Also I feel like the book is very realistic in the sense that this is the way I would go around doing things if I was stranded off of an airplane that just crashed.
3. The theme in the book I have noticed so far is survival. I have noticed this theme in all of Brian's thought about trying to get food and water. I have also noticed this theme in when he is waiting for help to come and get him.
4. My favorite character in the book is Brian. Brian is my favorite character because he seems like a normal kid like me that was just thrown into a horrible situation. He is also my favorite character because he has a never stopped trying to survive.
5. My least favorite character is the pilot. The pilot is my least favorite character for two reasons. My first was that in his dying moment he did not try to help Brian enough. My final reason is that he knocked the plane of course when he had his heart attack. So pretty much he put Brian in the situation he is in right know.
6. I predict Brian is gonna go hunting next. I think this will happen because he has the constant notion that he wants meat. That is why I think he is going to go hunting next.
