Brian Robeson Character Traits

In his case he has the hatchet his mother gave him. When you are stuck in the wilderness you're going to need to use what you have around you to survive. One quote in chapter 18 by Brian said this, “The hatchet. He might be able to cut or hack with the hatchet.” At this time Brian was trying to get in the plane because the tornado turned it to where the tail was sticking out of the water.

While flight remains conspicuously absent throughout Milkman's childhood, it frequently reoccurs when he is on his quest to rediscover his past. Milkman's first act of flying is an airplane ride to an old town where his father's family once resided; it is his flight to finding himself. "The airplane ride exhilarated him, encouraged illusion and a feeling of invulnerability. High above the clouds, heavy yet light, caught in the stillness of speed" (Morrison 220). Milkman feels immune to all the mistakes of his past, as though they could not have ever existed. "In the air, away from real life, he felt free, but on the ground, when he talked to Guitar just before he left, the wings of all those other people's nightmares flapped in his face and constrained him" (Morrison 220). Milkman searches for freedom from his past mistakes, from the baggage of the people in his life, and from the expectations of his father. This first flight on an airplane grants Milkman the feeling of freedom he has searched for all his life, at least for the short amount of time he remains in the air in the "intricate metal become glistening bird" (Morrison 220). He gains a taste of the freedom towards which he strives, and this momentary bliss helps him to realize the

I chose Brian (the brain) to do my character analysis on. In my opinion Brian was a stud the principal would never have expected Brian to be the one carrying the pot for the criminal. Brian was really funny when he was smoking the pot he had a funny voice. The funniest thing about Brian was that he brought a flair gun to school and it went off in his locker.

is full of interest unlike other survival novels like Robinson Crueso. I was impressed by Brian's inner growth as he struggles to survive in the wilderness. He learned anger and blaming oneself doesn't help anything to be better. Also, he got the ability to think deep and thanking attitude to foods. Unfortunately, the end was so sudden. That's one of my hateful ending-immediate end. That was a miss point of the book. Anyway, in general, I could think of my behavior to emergency with contrasting Brian with

Now that Brian is the strongest link in the food chain, he can survive almost anything. But Brian does not know if he likes the change. As Gary Paulsen says, “The rifle changed him, the moment he picked it up, and he wasn't sure he liked the change very much”(186). This shows Brian does not like changing nature just for himself. And how Brian is starting to like the Canadian wilderness. Brian is always evolving through the food chain either mentally or with his

Tomorrow maybe the fish would be back and he would make a spear and new bow and get some food. Tomorrow he would find food and refine the camp and bring things back to sanity from the one completely insane day” The quote clearly shows growth in Brian, it shows how he has grown strength, even after everything that he had was destroyed he was still willing to get back up on his feet, with a positive attitude, he was not just going to give up. This is very different from the Brian from the beginning of the book. That Brian would have cried, and given up as soon as the tornado hit. But now, Brian has learned from his mistakes.

Brian's thoughts are significant because we can see that the Hatchet is what keeps him carrying on and not giving up. The hatchet was a sign of protection and it is significant because it is the thing that gives him a sense of protection. The bear had put a little fear into Brian though “he thought of the bear, thought of thought of Bigfoot and every monster he had ever seen in every fright movies he had ever watched and his heart hammered in his throat” (Paulsen 30). The reader can see that Brian is scared because he is all alone in the pitch black wilderness with animals and other creatures around him.

As they flew over the Canadian Wilderness, the worst thing that could possibly happen to the pilot, happened. “He stopped as a fresh spasm of pain hit him. Even Brian could see how bad it was--the pain drove the pilot back into the seat, back and down.” (page 10). This was the start of the symptoms for a heart attack, the pilot was having a heart attack. All Brian knew about the plane he was in was a brief lesson from the pilot and what he had read in books. “He was flying but did not where, had no idea where he was going. He looked at the dashboard of the plane, studied the dials and hoped to get some help, hoped to find a compass, but it was all so confusing, a jumble of numbers and lights.” (page 16). Once he had the plane in control, he had to use his knowledge to land. As a result of the heart attack, this was the start of the longest 54 days of his life, he was all alone

“He'd been lazy—but now he knew the second most important thing about nature, what drives nature. Food was first, but the work for the food went on and on. Nothing in nature was lazy. He had tried to take a shortcut and paid for it with his turtle eggs,” chapter 14.Brain is no realising that he can't be lazy and watch the other animals eat and still his food brian needs to get up and hunt for the animals that still his food a eat them.brian is know thinking and he know knows that he needs to work harder than he has ever worked.

Brian Robeson, a 13 year old, was just flying over to his Dad’s house when the pilot who he had been sitting next to had a heart attack. He tried to take control of the plane. Luckily, the pilot taught him a little bit on how to fly the plane before he had a heart attack. Brian knew that the plane was going to crash, so he tried to ease it up a little. When he crashed, he realized that he was hundreds of miles away from his mother and where he was supposed to be. He built a shelter and found some berries that he called gut cherries. He gets struck by a tornado and then all of the things he gathered was gone.
