DeleteBrian means that it feels different because for 54 days Brian had to work for what he got but that day he had everything right in front of him. Even though he had worked to get the survival pack he had worked for one thing and had gotten everything he had needed to live in the wilderness.

He had the survival pack for 1 day so he had to survive without it 53 days not 54 but good response.
DeleteI know i'm saying it probably felt different because that's his first day using it.

1.I think that what Brian is saying is that he will have all these things but if they ever run out then he might forget all the survival skills he has learned without the pack and could possibly die. if he forgets how to build a fire, he could freeze to death. If he forgets how to make tools or hunt, he will die of starvation. All of these skills depend on life or death, so if he forgets, he will die. With all the things in the pack, it is good he has them, but they do have to run out eventually. He will have to do less work in order to survive. Doing less work could make him lazy and never want to actually work without the wonderful things from the survival pack.
ReplyDeleteNice response, I like how you said if he had all the stuff he might forget his skills very well thought out
DeleteI like how you say Brian might get careless and forget and use all his supplies then forget how to hunt without a gun and also forget how to use a fire.
DeleteWhat Brian might be thinking is that since he had found the pack he changed into a city boy again. All the things you would get in the pack were from the city. He felt like he was in the city. It removed the feeling of being in the woods. Its like he was transferring back into the city. He needs to learn how to hunt the food, not get the food. He got the things he didn't earn them. ~Kelly Lee
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that he would return to a city boy all over again.
DeleteI like that you said he returned to a city boy and that it changed him.
DeleteI agree with rose i like how you said he would be a city boy all over again.
Delete1. I think Brian means that he had survived without those things for 53 days so he isn't used to the things like sleeping bag he had to sleep on sand. When he got the gun and food he was used to hunting and when he got pots and pans he was used to cooking food from a stick and drinking water from the lake
ReplyDeleteI like how you used lots of detail, but it was 54 days not 53 ~Kelly Lee
DeleteYou put in lots of detail and you explained it very well, great job!
Delete1. I think when Brian says "The pack was wonderful, but it removed him from where he was and what he had to know" he means that when Brian uses stuff that give him advantages, he isn't as aware because he forgets about how animals can sneek up on him because he has a gun and is so used to just being able to shoot them. I also think that if Brian isn't careful then he might get used to eating a lot of food, and forget he has a limited amount of food, and eat to much (but if he hasn't needed to hunt then he might forget how to, and starve).
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that he doesn't need to hunt and then he might forget how to hunt then starve.

#1. "The pack was wonderful, but it removed him from where he was and what he had to know" this means that Brian he learned every thing and built a fire, catch fish and foolbirds and he could have used the survival pack if he had just had got the pack from underwater before he did these things and it is wonderful because Brian found lighters, a sleeping bag, sleeping foam, food packets, cooking supplies, a sheath knife with a compass at the handle, first aid kit, cap that said CESSNA and in it was fishing kits. BUT Brian had to survive with it for only 1 day when he was there for 54 days
ReplyDeletei like how you said that it would have been better if Brian got it before
DeleteTHANK YOU ^__^
DeleteDear Sally, I liked your answer because you listed some of the things that were in the survival pack
Deleteyour welcome:)
DeleteGood job Sally I like how you you said that Brian had already built a fire, gotten fish, and foulbirds so Brian could have used the pack before.
DeleteI think he means that he liked what was in the pack but he had learned to find his own food and make his own weapons so it removed him from where he was. It removed him from what he had to know because he had to know how to find food, how to hunt food and how to cook food but the food in the pack had already done that for him.
ReplyDeleteI really like how detailed about how it made him feel weird when you were talking about how all he had done before he had all the supplies from the pack.
DeleteI think Brian means by saying ''the pack was wonderful but it removed him from where he was and what he needed to do''. Brian had survived all of those days without it so it takes away his surviving role.He was used to getting up and defending for himself, but now the pack is there and he doesn't have to do that much as he used to.
ReplyDeleteI think for him that after spending a long time and haven't even shooting a gun in his life, it feels strange to him like cheating on a game because with his brand new stuff from the pack, he might feel guilty for all of his greed for the pack and he lucky for his greed of the pack because if he didn't get the pack he would not have been saved from that man.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used detail and I like your example.
Delete~Malachi Etoniru
You put in lots of detail and did great but the pack did not have anything to do with the man that saved him.
DeleteWhen Brian said that the pack was giving him up and down feelings I think he means that he would have needed the pack more 54 days ago, but now Brian is rescued and he never really had time to do anything with the pack. So now Brian is back home and he cant use those things anymore like he could have if the plane had shown up earlier with the survival pack inside.
ReplyDelete1. Brian could have meant many things by stating" The pack was wonderful but it removed him from where he was and what he had to know ". I think what Brian meant was that even though the survival pack was amazing and had so many treasures, it made him feel as if he was no longer part of the environment and back in civilization again .
ReplyDeleteBrian's feelings are that he has all these things and there great, as the author says.But the author also says that they have removed him from his surroundings.I think he means that it has removed him from his surroundings , saying that he has made all the things that he has and now he has all these things that he didn't have to make.
ReplyDeleteI like your response and how you stated what the author stated. Good job
Delete1. It means that the pack had great stuff in it that he would have used and no doubt about it loved if he would have got it when he first crashed, but he had "up and down" feelings about it now because it was man made and it made him feel like he was not in the wilderness anymore because without the pack he had to get his own NATURAL RESOURCES. This is what it means when he says it removed him from where he was, and when he says the stuff he needs to know it means now he doesn't have to know how to build a fire, catch his food and survive with the things around him.
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you said with the pack he did not have to get his own natural resoures
Delete1. In Chptr. 19, Brian finds his "treasures" within the backpack. However, he has "up and down" feelings about what he has found. Brian thinks, "The pack was wonderful, but it removed him from where he was and what he had to know". Explain Brian's thinking. Be specific.
ReplyDeleteIT means that Brian had been making his stuff but when the stuff is "handed to him " it feels unnatural since he has not been handed any thing since he crashed so since now he has all of this man made equipment even thought Brian's is man made his is made by him so it is not being handed to him.
I think he means it removed what he knew since the things in the pack were already made subsequent to the occurrences happening right now in this chapter. It might also mean it takes away the meaning of "survival" since it has a rifle, a fishing kit, a sleeping bag, a butane lighter and last but certainly not least (it's what got him out of the wilderness) the emergency transmitter. It also might mean that he wouldn't have to hunt for food (until he ran out of food in the survival pack) which is the point of survival and another point of survival is "dog eat dog" or just everything against everything.
ReplyDelete1) What Brian means by "the pack was wonderful, but it removed him from were he was and what he had to do" is that now he has the stuff he didn't have to work for anything he has it right there. With this stuff he has gone back to being a " city boy" now because he was like this when he was in the city. Now he doesn't have to go hunt for fool birds and trap fish like he had to do before he got this stuff in the book. He also got matches and now he doesn't have to start a fire with the hatchet. In the book it said Brian didn't have to make a spark nest and also didn't have to feed the fire like he used to.
ReplyDeleteI think Brian thinks that he is getting removed from where he was because the pack is going to make things easier and its going to be like you are camping instead of being in the wilderness all by yourself. It has removed him from what he had to know because now instead of having to know how to know how to do something right he has plenty of supplies that make it easier for him.

I think when he says that the survival pack was wonderful, but it removed him from where he was and what he had to know means that Brian had been out in the Canadian woods with only what he had with him when he crashed and what he had know about surviving and using his common sense he had survived for a long period of time (53 days). I think that he did not like having all the stuff sitting there for him and only having to do a little bit of work to get it like he did back in the city. He was not the old Brian anymore he wanted to work and deserve it because he had been so used to living like that from when he crashed to now that it became part of him and he did not want to give it up after he found the survival pack because it is what helped him stay alive and he did not have to work as hard after that. He did not like having the gun because he did not have to know that many things about the animal he is trying to kill to kill it like the foolbird, He had to know the shape of the bird and how to walk to make it look like he was not coming to the animal. ~ Cami Adams
ReplyDeleteI like the details you used from Hatchet, it supports your answer well.
Delete1. Brian has up and down feelings because he's had to work for everything he has gotten in the wild including the survival pack. Now he has everything he ever needed in one. So although he deserves what he has the feeling of it all coming in one pack gives him the feeling of it coming so easy when he had been working so hard for everything. He thinks that it would make him forget the things he had to know because that pack gave him what he needed and he didnt know the plane was coming to pick him up so if he forgot everything he needed to know if he wasnt rescued before he ran ot of the supplies he would have to almost start over again.
ReplyDeleteI think he means it removed what he knew since the things in the pack were already made subsequent to the occurrences happening right now in this chapter. It might also mean it takes away the meaning of "survival" since the survival pack has a rifle, a fishing kit, a sleeping bag, a butane lighter and last but certainly not least (it's what got him out of the wilderness) the emergency transmitter inside of it. It also might mean that he wouldn't have to hunt for food (until he ran out of food in the survival pack) which is the point of survival and another point of survival is "dog eat dog" or just everything against everything.
ReplyDeleteBrian feels like the pack is pulling him away from the wilderness. like it is getting in the way of him knowing how to hunt and fish and survive with nothing but a hatchet and his own two hands. This made the wilderness a part of him and him a part of the wilderness.Brian feels like the survival pack is making life almost too easy him, not allowing him to learn from his mistakes, or do any thing for himself, causing him to lose all of the wonderful talents he has acquired in the wilderness.
ReplyDelete1. I think that it removed Brian from what he was now because Brian used to have to do everything in order to survive like make fire. Now all Brian has to flip a switch on the lighter and he has a flame going, Brian used to have to make sparks with his hatchet, then get the sparks to ignite with dried grass and birchbark peelings. Also, it was hard to learn how to make fire it took Brian at least over a month to figure it out. If Brian had had the survival pack from day one all he would have had to do was fiddle around with the lighter until he got it to work and that would have only taken a day tops.

ReplyDeleteI think it means that Brian did not like the feeling of not having to do what he knows to get things like getting fire by making a "flame nest" and hitting the side of the cave to make sparks and then blowing on the fire, so then he did not like the feeling of just needing to open the lighter and set some bark on fire. He felt the same about the gun, he felt like it took everything away that he had around him, like his homemade bow and the hatchet. It made him feel different and he did not like the way it felt when he started the fire or held the rifle. So since he id not like the feeling he got from 2 of the items he got an "up and down" feeling inside him.
ReplyDeleteGOOD JOB I liked how you referenced the spark nest in your response.
Delete1. Brian has had to work for his food, his water, his shelter and all his needs. Now with the survival pack he does not have to work for things he won't have to work with the foolbirds before the survival pack was found he wasmaking mistakes and learning from them, learning life lessons.Now Brian has all of his resources right in front of him, Brian will no longer make mistakes he will no longer learn anything.
ReplyDeleteI like how you mentioned when he kept making mistakes
Delete1. It made him feel good because all the things he wished he had in the past for example a lighter he had in the survival pack he has now. It removed him from where he was because now when he gets home he is going to keep living life normal but is going to change back to a city boy.
