some of his mistakes are he keeps thinking about his mom and keeps crying i think he should just forget about it and focus on how to survive in the wilderness.

I agree with that, he has probably spent half of his time thinking about what has already happened
same here and does anyone here like the book and if they do, why? it wasn't that interesting for me so i would like to see the book from a different person's perspective

Opportunities can certainly pass you by while you are living in the past. I agree that Brian needs to start facing the present. Has he made any other mistakes so far?

I agree. Brian kept living in the past. He couldn't seem to realize the past is gone so he couldn't focus on how to survive.

Some of Brian's mistake is that he keeps referring to past, it's bad for him. If he keeps referring to the past, he won't get anywhere in surviving just moping around thinking about the past.

I absolutely agree with you. Thinking about his past won't get him anywhere.

he keeps on crying he should try to focus on his surronding and being aware of what he does because food attracts animal he never tryed to keep it protected then he got injured and why would u eat berry seeds ?

Yes he does look into his past too much but it did help him figure out wat kind of food he could find in the forest like berries, a mistake he keeps making is always drinking lots of water when hes hungry he keeps drinking and all that does is make him even more hungry

Brian ate gut cherries and he got sick and threw up. Brian also kicked that porcupine and he got 8 quills in his leg. I would have done one of them because i know myself and i get startled easily and i will panic and do lots of things. I think Brian will learn new things and ideas to protect himself better next time he is in danger.

one of Brian's biggest mistake is thinking about being lost and about his parent's divorce. if i were him, i would just forget about the past and live in the present. he needs to stop thinking negatively but positively, so that he could be more strong to find ways to survive

Brian keeps referring to the past and thinking of the negatives in his life. So much oppurtunities may appear, but he may not realize what there is until he snaps out of it. When he panicked, he does foolish a ruins that cause harm o him. Ex: throwing the hatchet and getting stabbed with 8 porcupine needles. As well, he ate so many gross Bertie casue him to feel ill. Or drink to much

Berries* not Bertie. (Continued) when he drank too much water, he got sick and also threw up causing his body to react negatively.

Some mistakes that Brian did was that, he kept thinking about his past, with his parents in mind, it made him sad and distracted on how he could survive in the wilderness. If I was Brian I do think I would have done that too.

I feel as if the mistake he made was thinking back to the past. If he keeps thinking back to the past, he won't get anywhere in surviving, he will just get distracted and fail to keep himself alive.

The mistakes that he is doing is that he is always thinking of the negative past, and not the positive past. For example, he is always thinking about his parents' divorce and is always in a bad or sad mood. Another mistake he is doing is that whenever he see something that is a new source of food or something, he is always eating or drinking too much, then after starts throwing up. He should no ate too much of the gut cherries, or drank too much lake water.

i don't think that I would do those type of mistakes because i wouldn't really like drinking water from the lake, or eat berries right from the bushes where they haven't been washed, or I didn't know if it was poisoned or not.
I think that he learned not to stuff or jug to much things in his mouth at a time and eat or drink too much of it, if he is not so sure if it is a good source of food or not.

Some mistakes Brian made were:
-He ate to many "gut cherries" which made him throw up.
- He kicked a porcupine and the needles of the porcupine got stuck on his leg.
- He thinks to negative about the divorce.
I think the mistake i would make is to think way to negative and to eat those gut cherries because that's the only supplement of food i have found.
I think Brian is going to learn that always thinking negative and crying wont help.

The biggest mistake Brian made was he didn't let go of his past. He dwelled on his past which made it hard to focus on how to survive. He made the task to survive more difficult. He over ate as well, another mistake he made. He shouldn't have ate that much. He should have ate a normal amount, not more or less. It seemed like Brian was preparing to fail.
He could have forgotten the past and moved forward. He shouldn't dwell on what went wrong, but he did. He could of ate less; eating less would help him since over eating leads to sickness.

I wanted to add that I do think would have made some of the mistakes Brian made such as looking into the past. I probably wouldn't have let the past go. I would have held on to it. I would have a burden on my shoulders and that would be my biggest mistake.
