My main characters name is Brian; he is a thirteen year old guy. Brian isn’t mean to anyone in the novel. Brian was never really good at anything that involved being physical such as sports. But, when it came to school, Brian was very smart and never failed anything. He has always been nice to everyone, even after he was stuck in the forest with only a hatchet. He has no hate towards the world. After Brian was in the forest for almost a month by himself with only his hatchet, he noticed how thankful he was for everything that he had. He was very happy that he didn’t die. He believed that if he hadn’t been saved he wouldn’t have made it much longer by himself. He figured out that he loves to cook and eat and watch other people eat. What Brian didn’t like was after he was rescued from the forest and had been released from the hospital, there were lots of reporters trying to interview him. They would follow him to and from school and knock on his door. All of the reporters wanted to know the same thing; how he survived for almost a month with only a hatchet. Brian is very nice to all of the other characters. Almost everyone that meets Brian wants to be his friend. He is a very likable person. Brian has a very unique personality and has always been that way. “I know, Mother. But he’s right. I… learned something there. About how to live-I mean how to live. And if it could help others, then I have to do it”. His personality doesn’t change through the entire story because he is always trying to help other people. My opinion about Brian is, he is kind of strange. When Derek came to his door asking him to go back into the wilderness and show him how to survive with nothing, he was willing, even though he knew how bad it was really going to be.
