Connection between theme and me
Brian Robeson is a ordinary boy in my age. However, I do not think I could survive 3 months only with a small hatchet because I am easily scared. Maybe I might have gave up on surviving. I think I should be more Brave and keep trying to do things like Brian did. Also, if I was in dangerous situation like Brian, I would have to believe that I could survive. It is amazing that Brian did these things for 3 month.
