    1. I like the character trait you gave Brian because if Brian wasn't a quick learner he wouldn't get much done. I also agree because if Brian wasn't a quick learner he wouldn't be able to build or hunt which are two very important things.

  2. 1. We have learned a lot about Brian during his efforts to survive. What are some of Brian's character traits that you have learned about him that you admire?
    (a) State the character trait.
    (b) Tell how the character trait has affected Brian's survival.
    (c) Be sure to cite examples from the novel that support the character traits you admire.

    A. I think Brian is BRAVE.
    B. This has affected Brain's survival because if Brian wasn't brave then he would have been to scared to get anything done.
    C. A few examples of Brain being brave are how he took control of the plane when the pilot died, he got up when he was hurt to find/build a shelter, he went off to look for food when he was starving and tiered and he didn't try to run or try to do anything stupid when he encountered the bear.


    I think if Brain weren't so Brave that his survival chances would have been at risk.

    I also think Brains bravery will help him in the rest of the book to.

    1. I like your answer John , but I disagree about Brian not being scared because at the end of chapter 12 Brian cried because he felt scared about not being found.

    2. Brian might have cried but he didn't break down. He still dealt with it and I bet he'll get over it soon because he usually gets upset but then gets over it.

    3. Good response but building shelter isn't exactly brave but thats my opinion.

  3. 1. A character trait is that he is not a quitter
    2 It affects Brian's survival because if he stops trying then he will end up no where. He would just be sitting there waiting for someone even though someone might not come.
    3. Some examples of Brian not being a quitter are he didn't know how to make a fire until he thought of the 20 dollar bill in his pocket. Another example is that he kept studying the foot prints from the water to the sand.

  4. 1. {a} One character trait that i like about Brian is that he has the ability to look back over in past years what he has learned about and what did he learn it from.

    {b] When Brian thinks back, he thinks about his situation and if anything he has learned will help him survive.

    {c} One example of this is when Brian thinks about his teacher Mr. Pirpich in order to find out what he has and to stay positive. Other examples include when he thought if he had ever had been taught to drink or not drink out of the lake or what he needs to make a fire.

  6. A character trait that I admire about Brian is that he his determined to find a hearty meal. This affects Brian's survival because it helps him to get more strength and nutrition from one meal. An example of this is that he tried extremely hard to catch fish to eat. He wasn't very successful but I love how he will keep trying until he is successful.

  7. 1. (a) State the character trait.
    (b) Tell how the character trait has affected Brian's survival.
    (c) Be sure to cite examples from the novel that support the character traits your naming

    I think some character traits of Brian are he does not give up what he is doing , this effects him because he gets things done quicker. He is a fast learner , This effects him because he knows what he is doing quickly.

    Examples of those character traits above is that he was thinking of not doing any thing but sitting there but since he does not give up he did not. For the other character trait is he was able to make his fire quickly because he is a fast learner.

  8. One of Brian's character traits that I admire is that he is good at figuring things out. It has helped him with survival because throughout the novel he has remembered things from experiences in the city to help him build things like the lean-to and the fire.

    3. john, Emily was stating that in the novel, he wants to give up but he does not and that helps him get things done.

  11. A: Brian is very cooperative and learns quickly and he faces many problems but he always solves it on his own and even if he doesn't know what or how to solve it he figures it out.

    B: It affects his survival because if he needs to do something and he doesn't know how he asks himself did I see or learn anything about this stuff?

    C: EXAMPLE.......... Brian needed to build the fire but he didn't know how so he thought to himself did the teachers say this is how you need to build a fire and he thinks and thinks until he gets the answer.

  12. 1. A character trait I like most about Brian is his WILL.

    2. This character trait has affected Brian in his survival by not letting him give up and pushing on when he thought and almost knew he was about to die he just keeps figuring things out that will help him get through this part of his life instead of dying because he was waiting for someone to come looking for him.

    3. An example of this is when he was making a fire and it took him multiple tries but he did not give up and he eventually figured it out. Another example of this trait is when he was flying he didn't just panic start crying and wait until he died and crashed, he gathers his thoughts and started flying the plane until it was running out of gas then he figured out where he wanted to land and aimed for it.

  16. (a) State the character trait.
    A character trait I admire about Brian is that he does not give up and he is not a quitter.

    (b) Tell how the character trait has affected Brian's survival.
    Brian not being a quitter has affected Brian because it has made him work harder at things he does to help himself survive because if he quit trying after the first fail he would just be sitting there waiting for someone to show up and help him even though they might not come.

    (c) Be sure to cite examples from the novel that support the character traits you admire.
    Some examples of when Brian did not give up from the novel are when he tried multiple times to make a fire, when he did not give up on trying to find out what the animal tracks were, when he did not give up on trying to make the sphere to catch the fish, and when he didn't give up on himself when he realized he had no experience with surviving because he is from the city.

    1. Good job Cami , I like that you said if he failed he would not quit and kept trying (perseverance).

      Delete
  17. 1 Brian is very brave and smart when he needs to be.

    2.When Brian needs to do the right thing he is under pressure and he thinks better and gets through it but when he isn't under presure he will make silly mistakes.

    3.Like when Brian encountered the bear he did not move , by his knowledge he stood still like a statue and the bear went away , which saved his life because if he ran he would have died. So therefore Brian probably works better under pressure.

    1. Dear William, I did not think of Brian as brave because he was so fearful but he did face his fears which really does make him brave.

  18. (A) A character trait that I admire of Brian's is his never giving up or perseverance.
    (B) This trait has effected Brian because he has been through some very tough times in the novel and although he has felt like giving up at times, he keeps trying or persevering..
    (C) Examples of times in the novel when he used this trait is: 1) When the plane was crashing and he was trying to contact the airport and he kept trying to send a message an it wouldn't go until he figured out he had to say "Over" 2) when he was trying to build a fire and it would not ignite so he kept trying lots of different things to get it going. He figured after lots of tries he needed oxygen ignite the fire. 3) Brian needed a food source. At first, he tried gut cherries, but he kept getting sick. Then he found the raspberries and tried them. He then found turtle eggs and ate them. And he is continuing to try and find a way to catch fish.

  20. 1. (a) The character traits that I admire about Brian are his resourcefulness, persistence and cleverness.

    (b + c) The character trait "resourceful" affected Brian's survival when Brian peeled off the birch bark from the birch tree to help ignite the fire. The character trait "persistence" affects his survival because his first few attempts at making fire did not work and he tried until it did. When Brian's character trait "cleverness" affected his survival was when he decided to land the plane at the edge of the lake. He did this so that he would not crash into the trees and also so that he would not go too far into the lake so that he would not
    be able to swim out.

  21. 1. (a) Character Traits / Perseverance Determined

    (b) How have character traits affected Brian's survival? / It is important he does not give up or stop working because if he does he won't survive.

    (c) Examples of perseverance and determination? / Spending hours at making a fire and never giving up. He is also determined because when he sets his mind to something he doesn't stop until he gets it done. For example, when he makes the fish spear Brian worked until the point on the fish spear was perfectly sharp and if it hit a fish the fish would be speared.

  23. 1. a) Character traits ) Perseverance: To not give up; to keep going

    2. b) trait's affects ) He is determined to not give up on surviving while he is in the Canadian woods. But if he does give up he will die/ not survive

    3. c) EXAMPLES OF HIS TRAITS

    1. Didn't stop trying to make a fire
    2. Knew to stop crying and not give up/ lose his hope
    3. Making a fish spear; until it works

    I really admire this trait because it actually is helpful, if you sit and cry like Brian did in the beginning, you wont get anywhere. But if you don't give up and start doing something, you actually can achieve something. ~Kelly Lee

  24. 1. A trait of Brian's is thinking of the future and that helps him to survive because he knows what he needs like food, water and shelter in the text when he first gets up after the crash he says ," I have to find a water source to survive."

  25. 1. Although Brian wanted to die he now realizes he can't die and can't let that kind of madness take over again. He is now going to try to not let that happen by making himself a "new Brian" with tough hope.

    2. Brian means that since he is the "new Brian" he could start over and be a strong/tough Brian. He has hope in the new Brian because he now believes in himself.
