HELLO, FABULOUS FIFTH GRADE! BELOW IS YOUR RESPONSE QUESTION FOR CHPTR. 10 OF HATCHET:
1. In Chptr. 10, Brian discovers some animal tracks. He sat in the sand trying to read the tracks; not knowing, not understanding. He thought to himself, "Why would anything wild come up from the water to play in the sand? "Not that way, animals weren't that way", he thought.
After these thoughts, Brian smiled. "City boy", he thought. "Oh, you city boy with your city ways". "City boy with your city ways". Explain what Brian means by his repetition phrase. Why does Brian reference himself as a "city boy"? Be specific.
I think he means that he has lived most of his life in the city and he is a boy so that is why he calls himself a "city boy".
ReplyDeleteI do like how you said he spends most of his life in the city but I think you need more detail.
DeleteWhat I think when he repeats"city boy" is that he is from the city and has basically no experience with the wild and he laughs because he is trying to come up with a reason that might happen in the city not in the wild but turtles don't lay eggs in the city.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Jaymison I like how you said that Brian wouldn't know what the eggs are because that isn't something you see everyday in the city.
DeleteI like your response. Why would you say "he is trying to come up with a reason that might happen in the city", that part didn't make since to me.
DeleteI like how you explained how Brian has no experience because in the city he wouldn't have to be experiencing how it is to live in the wild

Great response but turtles can lay eggs in the city when people give them a habitat with sand.
DeleteI think Brian explains him self as a city boy because he is in the city for most of the year except in the summer because that is when he goes to his dads house. Also he has pretty much no experience in the wild, but when I was reading the book I felt like he was getting the hang of things as he gets used to being in the woods.
ReplyDeleteI think what Brian means when he refers to himself as a city boy is that it is hard for him to figure things out in the woods and he hasn't had that much experience in the woods so he wasn't sure what the tracks were.
ReplyDeleteI like how you told how Brian didn't have much experience in the wild and how you told how Brian didn't know what the tracks would be.
DeleteI think that when he says "Oh, you city boy with your city ways city boy with your city ways" he means that he is not used to animals and natural resources that he just has to laugh that he doesn't know what animal made the "pile of sand".
ReplyDeleteI like how you said he is not used to natural resources and that he just has to laugh
DeleteCity boy over and over mean that he was alone and he was thinking like he had knew nothing about what he had ever seen or

Delete1. In Chptr. 10, Brian discovers some animal tracks. He sat in the sand trying to read the tracks; not knowing, not understanding. He thought to himself, "Why would anything wild come up from the water to play in the sand? "Not that way, animals weren't that way", he thought.
ReplyDeleteAfter these thoughts, Brian smiled. "City boy", he thought. "Oh, you city boy with your city ways". "City boy with your city ways". Explain what Brian means by his repetition phrase. Why does Brian reference himself as a "city boy"? Be specific.
Q. When Brian says "city boy" "Oh, you city boy with your city ways" "City boy with your city ways" he means how he doesn't know much about the wild, because he is from the city. City folks are always handed what they need, or don't need to "WORK" for what they need; "work" as in they do work job wise but they don't work in the wild.
1.work in the wild: get food, get water, find/make shelter, survive from wild animals ec.
2.work in the city: get a job, do what boss wants, get money, spend money on food, water and shelter (home).
OVERALL: Brian doesn't have experience in the wild so he cant figure out what the eggs are at first.
1.Brian lived most of his life in the city and when he tried to analyze the tracks he had no idea what they where from because he spent most of his time in the city and probably watched TV all the time and never actually went outside and studied tracks and out door things
ReplyDeleteI like how you explained why he wasn't familiar with the tracks based on things you inferred about Brian.
Delete1. I think that when he says to himself he is a city boy he means that he has no experience with animals because he lives in the city. The reason he said this was because he first thought the ''animal'' came to play in the sand. Then, after giving it thought, he realized that animals don't play and waste time like that, so he called himself a city boy for thinking that animal play.
ReplyDeleteI disagree on your answer because you said he thought that animals play but they don't well that's what he thought not why he said it.
DeleteI agree with your answer, him thinking about that animals don't just play in the sand.
DeleteDear Rose, I agree with your point that he has no experience with animals because people really do not get that much exposure to wild animals in the city.
DeleteBrian repeats the phrase: you city boy with your city ways because he lived most of his life in the city, not being exposed to wildlife, so he just assumed that animals had fun too. But he thinks about it, and realises that if he lived in the suburbs with more animals around him he wouldn't have thought such silly thoughts. But because he is not used to wildlife his first thought is that animals play in sand.

I think that Brian
I think that Brian references himself as a "city boy" because he lives in the city so he is not used to seeing animals that come out of the water and do something in the sand. He also isn't used to being in the wilderness.
He called himself a "city boy" over and over again because he is from the city, and he does not know much about being in the wild all alone, also he wad thinking about why an animal may dig in the sand and he thought of playing in the sand, like a city child.
ReplyDeleteI think Brian kept saying it over and over because he might have thought it was funny because a city boy like Brian had survived with all this food and had a well constructed shelter with a huge burning fire with lack of skill.
ReplyDeleteI think Brian had calls himself a city boy because he had lived in the city his whole live and never had experience with the great outdoors ( that we no of ) so he is calling himself a city boy.
I liked that you said Brian had no experience with wildlife.
DeleteHe lived in the city so he is called a "city boy" because he is from a city and he says this because he is not used to seeing animals come out from the water and "play in the sand".
ReplyDelete1.
ReplyDeleteBrian references himself to be a "city boy" because he lives most of his life in the city. He is only around wildlife in the summers when he visits his dad. He as no experience being around woods or wildlife. When he sees the tracks he chuckles to himself because he thinking, "How in the world am I going to figure this out, I'm a city boy".
I like how you used details to support your answer.-----------Nate Broce--------
DeleteI like how you supported your awnser and told us about his city life.
DeleteHe called himself ''city boy'' over again because he is born and from the city and he is used to be playing in the sand like regular little boys and he is used to being normal and he has not been ready for a case like this but when he is now in a case he doesn't have time to spare to play in the sand.-------------Nate Broce-----------
ReplyDelete1. Brian refers to himself as a city boy because he thought that an animal would come out of the water to play in the sand. Brian then realized a country boy would have known that no animal would ever come up to play anywhere. Brian repeated his thought because he was making fun of himself for being such a city boy.
ReplyDelete1. Brian references himself as a ''city boy'' because he thought of the animal playing in the sand at first. Then he realizes animals don't play in the sand and that they only do things for a reason. Only humans play in sand. Since he has been in the city his whole life and has only been around humans he sometimes forgets that humans aren't the same as animals and that they don't have all the same characteristics. Animals are always trying to survive. Humans sometimes play.

I like how you supported your answer with some details from the text, and relating with real life "situations" ~Kelly Lee
DeleteI think what Brian meant when he said "city boy" was when he saw the animal playing in the sand, he wouldn't know exactly what came up, or what it was doing. His thought process was ; Ok, this animal came up from the water, to play in the sand, then he realizes, animals don't play in the sand. Only humans do. Maybe because he was in the city most of the year, he forgets that other organisms have a different way of living. Or he just didn't understand much about wildlife. ~Kelly Lee
ReplyDeleteQuestion1:Bryan has never had to survive before so when he says city boy he means he's from the city and never seen stuff like this.
ReplyDelete1. In the city they don't have wilderness so he isnt a outdoors guy.
ReplyDeleteForgot to add that he hasn't been in the wilderness alone so he doesn't know about nature.
Deletenice job Hayden but he learned tactics he is using to survive when he was in the city
DeleteI think he was thinking about how he was in the city and how he wouldn't be in the wild and how he was used to the city.

1. He called himself a city boy because he was living in the city before he got stuck in the wilderness and he learned things he is using to survive
