he first takes rocks, dry wood and grass. he placed the wood and grass around the rocks and struck the rocks with his hatchet and sparks landed on the wood and grass. then he blew evenly onto the sparks to start the fire. This changed him because he tought he finally had a friend that could keep him warm.

I agree with champion, but didn't he also use his $20 dollar bill, to try to build a fire. Or did he use it after making the fire?

Yes it did lead to many changes because you would feel less lonely, and less terrified because fire can protect you from many creatures like Mosquitos, that come out at night time and other wilderness animals, like the bear might not come back because of the fire.

Correct

Brian tried to use the twenty dollar bill before making the ire but it did not work. After he starts the fire he adds the bill for more fuel. After that he realizes it is not enough fuel for the fire.
Money?

yes! he felt safer, he felt like he had a friend, and it encourage him to get motivated in an unexplainable way.
Brian finally achieved his goal on making a fire. He did these steps to achieved this goal:
1) he uses his hatchet to strike out a few sparks
2) started blowing the sparks (red balls)
3) he had fire!!

He used sticks, leaves and grass to make a fire but he didn't have matches, he gathes small twigs and grass and figured out that the spark needed to go on some sort of paper thing so he used his hatchet to peel and cut the thin bark, once the spark came on it ot didn't build so he though a momment and said he needed to blow on it so he did but he blew to hard then he blew again and it was glowing as big as a coin then all of a sudden it became a fire ball so he quickly gatheres lots of wood so his fire woulnt burn out

Oh! This achivement changes him because he finally achieved his goal to make a fire and he says its his hungry friend. The fire helps him by keeping animals away from the camp and to keep insects away from biting him when hes asleep. It can also help him cook food but the he still needs to catch his food first. So basically the fire has helpes him a lot and it also grew happiness and positive thining in him.

Good point about keeping away the insects. Also a good point about the positive thinking. Succeeding at building the fire should give him the confidence to succeed at other tasks. Does it?

1) Brian had hit the hatchet onto the rock to create a few sparks. Since it wasn't enough he added other materials.
2) Brian had added some grass & pieces of wood around the rock, & hit the rock again. Nothing happened.
3) He then tries to use the $20 bill, by ripping it up & hitting it around the rock also. Again it didn't work.
4) He then uses his hatchet to skim some bark. He then puts the bark around the rock & hits again.
5) Brian blows gently onto the sparks that had landed on the bark around that rock.
6) When Brian turned and looked, there it was a fire!
The fire was also known as his new friend in the forest. :)

Does Brian feel any different now that he has succeeded at creating fire?

yes, he does. since Brian now has made a fire himself, he feels like the fire is his friend. The fire is warm, and protecting Brian while he is there, just like a real human friend would be like.

yes he feels different he thinks he has a friend named fire the will guard him and protect him like a real friend would do.
first brian realized that he can make sparks with the hatchet when he the hatchet at the porcupine and from then on knew he can make a fire
STEPS
~~~~~~~
#1:*he collects bark and twigs and fluff the size of a grape fruit
#2:*he creates sparks with the hatchet and gets a red glowing flame
#3:*he remembers the fire needs air or oxygen so brian decides to blow on the flame and ends up with a fire.

-he has fire!
Brain feels that he's not very lonely anymore, as he has the fire, he feels that the fire is his friend. He also begins to get the hang of living in the forest, alone.

1) He gathers rocks, grass and twigs.
2) He uses his hatchet and strikes it against the rocks to make sparks.
3) He blew on the hot sparks and made a fire.
This changed him because it made him feel warm and that he has a friend to protect him from mosquitoes.

1) he uses his hatchet to strike out a couple sparks and caught it with wood
2) started blowing the sparks to move them around
3)Then he had a fire.
This helped him because he could keep warm and cook some food that he gathered

-he brought some dried grass, small twigs, and then he tried a combination of grass and twigs
-He ripped the twenty dollar bill into tiny pieces and hit sparks into them
-Then he tried to turn those ripped tiny pieces into fluffs
-made a nest for the sparks
-used the sharp edge of the hatchet and started cutting the bark into thin pieces
-he used his thumb to make a small depression in the middle
-hit the rock with a series of blows
-he used a set of strikes with quick blows
-then he made sparks
Wait but when Brian created fire didn't he feel lonely? I think it was because he had no one to share his accomplishment with. Usually people share their accomplishments, but if they have no one to share it with, it's not much of a accomplishment.
