“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change” (Charles Darwin). Bud’s rules not only help him survive, but as well as adapt to tight situations. Rules 63, 83, and 328 display his survival skills perfectly. Rule 63 assists Bud Caldwell in surviving by reminding him to be conscious to what you say. In one circumstance, Bud had accidentally called Herman E. Calloway a “mean, old coot”. Bud had suddenly realized his mistake and quickly tried to fix it. Bud also had awareness when he said sorry to Herman, as he saw that apologizing was the best way to avoid trouble in that situation. Caldwell has the mental capability to make rules for survival. Bud Caldwell uses rule 83 in order to be aware of his surrounding and realize that keywords may trigger certain events. For instance, when Bud’s mother had told Bud not to worry, it made him come to the impression that when adults say not to worry, worry. Bud also noticed Lefty Louis told him not to worry, which gave Bud a stronger questionability that if Louis was a vampire. Another sign of awareness was then Miss Thomas consoled Bud, he still felt uneasy. Bud uses rule 83 to his maximum capability. …show more content…
For example, on page 27, Bud faced a life or death situation of a bat inhabiting the shed with him. Bud had to hit the bat and kill it immediately. If Bud hesitated at that moment. the bat would’ve injured him. Correspondingly, Bud held no hesitance when trying to drive away from Lefty Louis. He got into position, pulled the gear drive, and left Louis with no second thoughts. Also, Bud had punched Todd, not thinking about the consequences. Bud utilizes rule 328 to recklessly push through problems. On multiple occasions, Bud Caldwell is able to display superb surviving skills due to his amazing rules of survival. Without these rules, Bud would have a challenging time surviving in the outside

Impulsive decisions leaves people in unfortunate situations. This is best shown in Branson Mull’s book Fablehaven. This is shown when Seth succeeds in capturing a fairy. Every since he was shown fablehaven Seth's need to explore grew. To study the new creatures of fairies Seth captures one oblivious to his future consequences. “Seth pounced slapping the lib on the jar. The fairies were so quick! He expected to catch all three, but two wizzed out just before the lib enclosed the covering. The remaining farry pushed against the lid with surprising force”(Mull48).
After he crashes, even though he knows things are not going his way he retains a positive attitude and keeps busy. This is a very smart and important move when trying to survive, any doubting will finish you. Brian is very strong mentally because he manages to keep positive after he sees his mother with a man other than his father, his parents divorce, his pilot dies and he gets stranded in the forest. I don’t think most people could cope with all that, I don’t think I could cope well with all that. Not only is he strong mentally but he is also strong physically. After a crash most people would be hurt and discouraged but he is up and moving the next day. He knows to get food, water and a shelter asap. By the third day he had made a proper shelter, a fire for warmth and a fire for signaling, found food and started planning next
Thinking ahead to what might come of your actions in the next few minutes or hours is crucial to understand what you should and should not do. If the following characters considered the short-term results of what they planned to do, maybe things would have turned out better. A good example of this is of Romeo, from the play, Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt, a rival of his due to a family feud, just killed Mercutio. Out of rage and grief, Romeo killed Tybalt. This action ended up getting him banished from the city, which lead to his and Juliet’s death. Another example of short-term consequences is with Jack, from the Lord of The Flies novel. In an attempt to flush out or kill Ralph, Jack sets a fire in the forest. This idiotic move ended up setting the whole forest on fire nearly killing everyone. If Jack took a second to realize what would come of setting the bush on fire, the forest would have not burnt to a crisp.
Response: I think the central theme of the book is the importance of family. Bud’s mother died when he was only six, and his life had been very tough. He said one time that “my eyes don’t cry no more.” It would have been very easy for Bud just to give up
I sneaked up the back porch steps to get inside the house. Maybe the vampire bat don't say it , but the only thing thought on my mind was “aha, you doggone Amoses, that hurt, but now i get my revenge!”they haven't locked the kitchen window . it slid open with just a couple of squeaks, then i was inside the amos house crouched down like a cat burglar. Quick as a rabbit i looked under the table to see if they’d moved my suitcase.It was still there.” Bud was a risk taker because he sneaked out of the shed to get revenge on the amoses whitch was difficult and scary considering that it was night time and the amoses were asleep. Bud was also a risk taker because he snuck into the house to check on his suitc
I think that determination is definitely a big part of survival. In the book Hatchet, Brian was determined when he was making the fire. It took him a long time to figure out how to do it and then it took him quite a while to get it started, but all the time, he kept going because he was so determined. He tried many different times in many different ways. Ernest Shackleton was a man who tried to sail to Antarctica in a ship with a crew, but got stuck in an iceberg. Also, in a video about Ernest Shackleton, he was obviously very
Brian has been in the woods for 28 days without anyone there to help him. Brian Robeson is still alive he has just made a fire yesterday and was attacked by a porcupine two days ago. Brian was strong while being attacked he had pulled out the quills. Brian learned that he needed to stay strong and keep pushing when he was hurt that way he knew he could still start a fire and do everything. If the fire stages didn’t happen then he wouldn’t be alive today because he wouldn’t have learned how to create fire to stay warm and cook food to live.
Survival is number 1 in the book hatchet. Brian has to learn how to survive out in the forest where his plane crashed. He has to learn how to hunt, build a shelter, and find a good stream of water that is clean. The common thing is to keep a good mindset
When looking at situations, more specifically decisions of others from the outside, it can seem that the alternative, better option is straightforward and simple. Whereas, actually being in the position of making the life changing choice, actions may fly by too quickly without a chance for the person to debate possible, more appropriate, options. A Separate Peace and Dead Poets Society, present the idea of slowing down long enough to lead to a more beneficial outcome. Using the examples above, it is clear that other actions could have been taken. For one thing, Finny’s misfortune could have been easily avoided. Seeing how their friendship is clearly important to him, his intention is not to hurt Finny when he shakes the branch. He only wants to seem a little stronger than his seemingly untouchable, talented friend, supported by his thoughts when it happened,” It was the first clumsy physical action I had seen him make”(60). However, the tragic events all following as a result of Finny falling could have been avoided if Gene and Finny talked and cleared up the misunderstandings. Of course, similarly to the death of Neil in Dead Poets Society, this was not the case due to easily avertable, impulsive
In stressful circumstances, one may make quick decisions without assessing all the information. For example, when a group of teenage men bullied a friend, the friend responded promptly and fought back. All of the men made quick decisions regarding their survival. Survival is often an incentive to fight back or flee the situation. In this case, my friend fought back and received consequences for it.
Survival is living on the hope that better things are yet to come in your life. Right now in our country people survive because of hope and the belief that people are good and they will help them out. People survive when they are homeless on the streets only because of the people who are good at heart and give them food or money to buy clothing for the winter. Gerta survived because of her family and friends. Anne Frank survived because she believed that “Despite all the evil going on in the world I still believe that all people are good at heart.”
Bud’s imagination helps him escape danger that isn’t even there, Bud steals Lefty Lewis’s car to escape a could be vampire attack. Bud tried to escape from the so called vampire as fast as he could. “I pulled the gear lever down and the car took off with the vampire running as hard as he could to catch me.” (Curtis 107) This quote proves that Bud is one to take action in dangerous moments, Bud can preserve and keep a clear head in dangerous or scary moments. Bud uses the flight option
When Bud woke up, he swathe sun began to rise. Once he arrived at the mission, a big, tall man announced that the people before Bud were the last group of people to eat breakfast. Bud kept complaining and begged to eat breakfast, but the big man didn’t show any sympathy. The more Bud begged, the more he was pushing the big man’s buttons. Right when the man was about to hurt Bud, a family of four called Bud Clarence and pretended like he was a part of the family. So, Bud and his pretend family walked inside the mission. After the meal, Bud thanked his pretend family, and his pretend parents told him to come early next time. Then, Bud headed back
The law to recklessness has developed and changed over a very long time and for much of this time the two types of recklessness have been Cunningham Recklessness and Caldwell recklessness , however this has recently changed. In this essay I am going to talk about the history of recklessness, how the case of R v G and another 2003 has affected it and the proposals for reform which were considered as a result of the case.
