Depending on the girls personality, she might actually have a chance of surviving or she might have no chance of surviving. Girls seem to be more sensitive than boys and most girls dont like insects and big animals. If the girl had met with the bear then she would have screamed and get attacked by the bear or maybe with the wolf maybe the same thing would happen as well. With all the events that happened to Brian, I think if it was a girl it would have been more dramatic as she may want to cry herself out a lot during those times

I agree with your first part. It would certainly depend on her personality. I'm not sure I agree with your second part. Some girls have lots of inner strength. Some girls can be really quiet and patient. Do you think a mother would give a girl a hatchet as a gift though?

girls are usally more afraid of things like bears, insects etc. And most girls are sensitive and dont like hunting and being alone. i think if the bear came a girl would just start screaming and running.

In my opinion i think the girl individual matters. She may have plenty of experience in the wildlife or she may have never been in the wildlife at all. Some girls are strong and some girls are somewhat weaker. Also i don't think that girls mothers would give them a hatchet, and without the hatchet it would be more difficult to survive. Many girls that i know would usually bring a backpack with plenty of clothes in side, and i think that would be helpful. soo it all depends on the persons personality, and what she has been through over her years

I dont think the gender matters, I just think How much of experience the person has, Because if you dont have a lot of experience then you wouldnt survive long. But if you have a lot of experience and know how to survive in the wilderness then you have a great chance of survivng in the woods. Simple Logic O:

If Brian was a girl it wouldn't matter as much as if it was a different person. What I mean is that if Brian and his whole personality and stuff were transferred to a female body it wouldn't matter but if it was another person with a different personality then that would matter. Not all males are so manly and could survive in the wild. Some females could survive in the wild. So I'm saying that it all depends on the persons personality whether they are afraid to get down and dirty or not.

i think it depends on how the girl's personality is like dana said because if she is a strong girl and never gives up she would have had a chance of surviving but if it is a girl who is not strong and in to fashion and all that she would have a chance to survive in my perspective.

If the main character Brian, was a girl, the story would be different on how Brain solved his problems dealing with wild animals. For example if a girl would deal with a bear, she would just ask for help, by yelling "HELP HELP" or in the other hand if the girl was like an adventurous she might of acted the same way as Brain did.
That is one challenge that Brain had to solve.

If the story was about a girl it would not really be different. Unless she was a girly type girl that has to wear make up any girl would be good, if they try to survive

i would say it depends on her personality and if she is brave but i don't really think it matters if she is a girl because i think a girl an do the same things as a boy f she puts her mind to it

I don't even know how to respond to this. All i can say is that i think if the character were a girl the story would be a lot quicker like she might get rescued faster.

Depends really. If shes a like a princess girly girl maybe not because her reactions to insects, animals, drinking out of a lake that is dirty isnt exactly what a girl would do....

If the main character was a girl it would depend on her personality because some girls hate insects and animals and some girls love the wildlife and wilderness. If the girl hates insects and animals I don't think the girl would survive that's one main challenge to face the wild insects and animals. If the girl loves the wildlife and wilderness then she has a stronger chance of living, she would probably know how to be around animals and know a little how to survive and might have had experience like making a fire, finding or catching food and building a shelter

if brian was a girl, it would all depend on like what others have said her personality. I would say it wouldn't be very different because girls are strong themselves

It really how the girl is, for example if she is a real girly-girly she wouldnt really have a good chance out in the wilderness, but if she had some outdoor experience, has gone camping, plays sports (etc) she would probably act the same way Brian did. Also it depends on their background knowledge. Brian got many ideas from past teachers and that would also be different from the girl because she might have not known the things that Brian knew how to do. But i do mainly believe that it depends on the personality of the girl.

it depends on their personality and interests. As well, a girl may have a different way of living there. Instead of a bow and arrow to catch fish, she might want to find flimsy twigs and create a net. She might want to kill the beat and use the fur instead of letting it walk by. It all depends.

If the story would have cast a girl then the story obviously would have be showing a brave girl in there. If the story is about a brave boy it would obviously be about a brave girl. She might not have the same fearlessness and physical strength but she distinguish from other girls.
