There aren't really any characters in this story besides Brian except for that bear. The bear looked scarry but just really wanted to eat some berries. Brian is a boy that has very bad luck first has to deal with his parents breaking up than getting trapped on a island. HULK
ReplyDeleteBrian is very cautious. The evidence from the chapter is when the bear comes when Brian discovers the delicious ripe raspberries on page 74 paragraph 2. Another trait of Brian is smart. The evidence of this when Brian knew that the gut berries were going to not be ripe so went to the opening were his plane went through and found the raspberries. This was on page 73.

It fits in the story because Brian had diarrhea and it was because of what he ate and it went to his stomach.

I have a comment for Bob. My comment is that i think he did a really nice job with his vocabulary work and all the different definition he gave us.
ReplyDeleteSigning off Zack.
My connection to this chapter is that I have had raspberries before. So I know that Brian must have really enjoyed them because raspberries are my favorite berry and they are wicked good. He probably thought they were sweet but sometimes there sour a little. I found the raspberry scene on page 73 paragraph 1.
ReplyDeleteBOB
Brian is also very brave because he saw the bear he came back and noticed that he was just eating berries. Hulk
ReplyDeleteI thought that Brian was miserable. I think this because on page 70, paragraph 1. The book said, “Ugly, he thought. Very, very ugly. And he was, at that moment, almost overcome with self-pity. He was dirty and starving and bitten and hurt and lonely and ugly and afraid and so completely miserable that it was like being in a pit, a dark, deep pit with no way out.”
ReplyDeleteDuuuuuude(Dude)
I have a few questions about Brian’s actions. Like when he put the hatchet next to his head, why did he do that? Another one is when he yelled mother, I think that he had a very bad dream and from the berries giving him an upset stomach, but I am not sure. That is all the questions I could make.
ReplyDeleteJman
