When Brian crashed the plane on the lake, that’s when the story got interesting.
That’s when Brian found lake (as in water), shelter, food and Brian made fire.
Brian has found gut berries, raspberries and raw eggs.
Brian found shelter by walking a little far away from the lake, Brian fix the (as in lean-to) shelter
a little bit.
Brian also made fire, which took a lot of hard work and tries.
Brian got his first fish, so now he has hope, tough hope.
Brian is sort of into nature.
Brain made fire, fire is protection, light, cooking food, to keep warm and peace of mind.
Habitat is forest, lake ridge, trees, bushes and Brian is in the Northern Canadian forest.
Month: November 2015 (Page 3 of 6)
Brian drank water from the lake to not be thirsty. Brian ate berries from the berry bushes and the egg’s from the sea turtle to not starve. Brian use a lean-to to sleep in and to keep himself dry from rain. Brian’s space is the forest. How is Brian becoming more in-turn with nature. Doesn’t just hear sounds he knows them (twig breaking) didn’t just notice something, he saw everything about it (bird) mind and body came together. (When he heard or saw something his mind took control of his body and he knows without thinking. Brian is becoming more in turn with nature. His mind was becoming sharp. For example” he could know what the sound was before he quite realized he had heard it”.
Since Brian’s plane crashed in the lake, he needed to survive in anew habitat. The first thing Brian needed to do was he needed to make a shelter. He decided to make the shelter close to the ridge so the mosquitos wouldn’t eat him alive and also so the animals wouldn’t harm him. The second thing Brian needed to do was to find food, what he did was he found a river where there was a whole bunch of fishes. At first he tried to catch the fishes with his own hands and it didn’t work so now he is trying to catch the fishes with a spear he made but it didn’t work so Brian made a bow and arrow to and he also found some turtle eggs hidden under the sand close to the river, he ate them raw because he remembered his uncle Carter eating his eggs raw sometimes, he saved the rest of the eggs to eat them every once a day. The third thing he needed was to make a fire, at first he tried making the fire with the twenty dollar bill he had but it didn’t work so he took some bark from the tree and tore the bark into little pieces, he was almost able to make the fire but it also didn’t work either. What he did to make the fire was he woke up on the morning and he saw a porcupine, he got scared so he tried to throw his hatchet to the porcupine but he missed and the hatchet hit a rock and it made some sparks, with the sparks he made the fire, he put the twenty dollar bill on the rock where he was going to put the sparks to make the fire then he threw the hatchet again and in made a fire just like that, but it took more than two hours to make the fire he wanted to make. Brian is getting in tuned with nature is that he is understanding the feeling of the animals that he meets in the woods, one of the animals he saw was a wolf and he met the wolf when he was looking at a mama bear and two of her cubs then when he looked around he saw the wolf on the top of the hill then he saw the wolf staring and him then he looked at the wolf and nodded, the wolf that was looking at Brian brought two more wolves and went down the hill and walked passed Brian and Brian nodded and smiled and the three wolves that have passed around him. Another way that Brian was showing how he was being in tuned with nature was when he was getting the berries and he saw the bear and it scared him so he ran back to the shelter, stopped and realized that the bear didn’t want to harm him, the bear just wanted to eat some berries too, he was in tuned with the bear because a person that wasn’t in tuned with the bear would just run away and wouldn’t care about what the bear was feeling, but Brian was in tuned with nature so he felt what the bear was feeling.
When the plane crashed brian needed food. He found a water in lake brian build his own habitat
What brian did first was he used a bark from the tree and his hatchet to make a fire.
And brian thought looking around but all he could see was grass and brush.
Brian had an English teacher a guy named Perpich who was always talking about being positive, thinking
Positive, staying on top of things.
Brian say was another part of the woods, another part of all of it.
He knew the wolf now as the wolf knew him and he nodded to it, nodded and smiled.
He had forgotten that water refracts bends light. He had learned that somewhere in some class maybe it
was biology-he couldn’t remember.
But it did bend light and that meant the fish were not where they appeared to be.
He would not forgot his first hit. Not ever. He held the fish against the skyuntil it stopped wiggling held it
And looked to the sky and felt his throat tighten, smell, and fill with pride at what he had done.
He had done food.
Also Brian is fulfilling his habitat requirements in a lot of ways. Brian finds food and water really close, without water or food Brian would live just about 3 days. Brian also has a hatchet and a spear to protect himself from animals and he can also use hatchet as a tool to build something. He also has fire to keep him warm all the time and prevent him from getting sick, Brian first found sparks by getting scared by porcupine and throwing hatchet at the rock face and getting sparks, later Brian gets wood and tinder so he can make the fire last as long as possible. Brian builds a lean-to shelter from a rock face and a few sticks, Brian uses rock face to protect himself from weather and sticks to hold the rock face stay and not fall on him and hurt him.
Brian is getting in-tune with the nature because now he hears and sees things he can’t in a city, and now that’s because he hears and sees the real nature all the time and doesn’t have anything else to distract him from listening hearing nature. Now he also knows what animal might be hiding by hearing it and have a lot of more senses he didn’t had in a city. Those were the requirements Brian needed to most to survive.

How is Brian fulfilling his habitat needs water, food, shelter and space?
Brian is fulfilling his habitat needs of water, food, shelter and space by working for it. He is getting his water from the lake, it is clean water that he can drink but not the cleanest. He is getting his food from raspberry bushes and raw turtle eggs. He got is shelter by working for it. He got the wood and started building his lean-to. It turned out to be one on the best things he’s built so far. And for space there is not much to say other than he had more than enough space for and of his needs.
How is Brian becoming more “in-tune” with nature?
Brian started to notice a change in him he noticed that he started looking at things more. By that I mean when he looked at the lake he didn’t just look at the lake, he looked at the ripples in the water and the way the wind was blowing to make in ripples on the water. He also noticed a change in his body, as he was sleeping in his lean-to he would always keep the fire alive and all that smoke from all those days made his face look and kind of feel like leather.
When Brian witnessed a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness, his space around him was a lot of trees, a lake, a ridge and some animals. In the wilderness Brian has found some raspberries for him to eat. Also Brian has found turtle eggs and fish to eat, by the beach. There was also water for Brian to drink by the lake he witnessed the plane crash and it made him sick. For his shelter Brian used sticks and logs to make his lean-to. And Brian has found a better shelter than his lean-to, Brian put his shelter under a stone overhang under a ridge to make his perfect shelter. His shelter will protect him from danger. Brian also succeeded of making a campfire, the campfire gave Brian warmth and protection. All of this habitat requirements makes Brian being more in-tune with nature. In Brian’s Habitat, Brian is being more aware of his surroundings. Brian is able to hear and to see everything around him. Brian could hear the animals around him and the movement of water. All of Brian’s senses can hear, see, feel, touch and smell of nature.
Brian fulfills his habitat requirement with food, water, shelter, and space. First Brian’s food is raspberries and raw turtle eggs. Now Brian is trying to make a tool to catch the fish he found in the lake. Once again Brian is showing motivation to survive. Second Brian knows he needs drinking water to survive, so he built his shelter around the lake the plane landed in. When Brian drank the lake water he threw up. I think he drank too much. Third Brian told himself that he had to be under shelter. Brian built his lean-to under a little bit of rock. He built his lean-to door out of twigs, sticks and leaves. Fifth Brian has Brian has lots of space. Brian in is the Canadian woods and there are lots of lakes and bushes. Brian even made fire in the space. When the porcupine attacked Brian he threw his hatchet and missed. So the hatchet hit the rock and sparks flew. The next day Brian made the sparks grow and the fire started. All the thing that have happened caused Brian to be more in tune with nature. For example if he hears a chirp he knows it’s a bird, or if he hears a gust of wind he know is blowing west. Brian has grown during this adventure.
In chapter#11 Brian is hiding the turtle’s eggs that he found near by the lake in his shelter. And Brian is still feeding his fire with wood and branches. After that day, he noticed that he was changing, his leg was back to normal and his face as well, but he knew that he was changing in something else. Brian could see the things now, not like in the city. Brian could see all of the details all , when he sees a bird for example, he doesn’t just see a bird, he sees its feathers and its colour, that city man could see all the details. Brian could even tell where the wind was going by looking at the water.
The city boy knew he was becoming part of nature. While he was thinking of that, he saw a fish jumping in the water and then Brian thought of something that he can’t resist. Food. He had to catch that fish- he thought. Brian made a spear to catch the fish. It didn’t matter how hard he tried but he couldn’t catch it, it was too fast- the city boy thought, Brian had another idea to catch the fish but it still didn’t work.
Brian is still thinking of what to use to catch that fish that he wanted so much. That’s the end of chapter #11.
When Brian crashed landed on the lake he got up and searched for a good place to build his lean-to. He was in a forest habitat so he had to search inside the forest. Brian wanted to be near the lake in case searchers come for him. Brian found a small scooped up mountain where he can build his lean-to. Brian used sticks and leaves for his lean-to. When Brian finished building his lean-to he was starving so he wondered in the forest and tried to find food. Brian found cherries but they were bad so he got diarrhea. Brian was still starving so he went back but didn’t pick the gut cherries and went farther, and found raspberries. Brian is becoming for in tune with nature. He notice everything around him. Brian can hear everything. He can see all the details. Brian can’t just hear the animals he can see them.
