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.

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.

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.

Habitat is food, shelter, water and space.

Brian is eating berries, and raw turtle eggs . He is trying to (take) catch fish but he cannot catch them.

Brian is drinking water from the lake.Brian is sick when he drinks the water.

Brian is in the forest and have animals like a bear trying to attack Brian.

Brian have fire

Since Brian’s plane crashed in the lake, he needed to survive in a new habitat. First, he tried to catch a fish with his hand but it didn’t work. And he made a spear but it didn’t work because it wasn’t faster than a fish. And he made a bow to catch a fish. Second he saw turtle egg in the hole. First try it taste.  Second try it taste a bit better. Last try it taste good. Finally, he found a ridge to build a shelter. He used his hatchet to cut woods to build a lean-to. It was hard work but he feel great because he has his own space. Brian is in-tune with nature. He is thinking of his teacher’s teaching and he is now use to eat berries, food, build. And he is using his senses and noticing more.

Brian is changing he is becoming more in tune with nature, and is fulfilling his habitat requirements. We all need food and water to survive, and so does Brian. He has found berries, turtle eggs, and is still trying to catch fish and birds. Brian has to eat the turtle eggs raw, but now that he has fire, if he catches fish or birds he would be able to can cook them. Drinking lake water can be a problem too, Brian has gotten sick and threw up all of the water he drank because he didn’t boil it. Finding shelter wasn’t a big problem for Brian. All he did was walk around the lake and at the end of a ridge he finds a cave like place where he builds his lean-to. His lean-to had a rock face as the roof and that was good because that could protect him from rain, sun and wind. You would also need a fire to survive and it took Brian a long time to make one but in the end he still had a fire. Fire gave him warmth, protection safety, and a peace of mind. Brian starts noticing the space around him, where he lives, his habitat. He lived in a forest in the Canadian woods alone. But where he lived had a beautiful scenery, from his lean-to you could see the lake, the tall trees, and some berry bushes it was amazing. If you were in a life or death situation, you would start noticing the space around you and you would become more in tune with nature. If Brian would hear a sound a sound, he wouldn’t just hear it he would know what was making the sound without even looking at it. As you can see by changing the way he thinks the way he sees things he might have a chance to survive!

What Mr. Perpich meant by “you are the best thing you have is that you will always have yourself. You can use yourself to do all sorts of things. Sometimes you don’t need other tools to do things. You need your hands to eat, or write, and defend yourself from danger and some other things. You need to be able to have physical abilities to do things that other people can’t do, if you have physical abilities. To be positive and have good thinking is to not worry that you can’t do something that you want to do but instead you should believe that you can do anything if you try. If you don’t have positive thinking then you might not be able to do anything, that is what can help Brian if he is stranded in a forest.
