Another way Brian is determind is in the story it states,"But as before,the self pitty didn't help he knew he had only one course of action." This shows he is determind because he's not going to sit around and fell sorry for himself, he is actually going to try and survive. Page.#163

Brian is determind because in the text it says,"He was weak he couldn't stand,he had to crawl,so tired he didn't even notice the gray angrey cloud and he had done it." This shows he was determind because he was so exhausted and was very sore,but he did it,because he didn't give up!

"He had a fish board now,a piece of wood he had flattened wth the hatchet,that leaned up against the fire for cooking fish so he didn't have to hold a stick all the time. He put the three fish on the board,pushed sharpened pegs through their tails into cracks on the cooking board,and propped it next to the redest part of the coals." This means that Brian was being intelligent because he was using smart strageties on how to cook the fish.

"He scanned the area above the beach and found four dry treetops that had broken off by the storm. These had limbs and he dragged them down by his work area at the water's edge and fitted them together. It took most of the day. The limbs were cluttered and stuck any which way and he would have to cut one to make another fit,then cut one from another log to come back to the first one

"You have to have fuel,he thought-and he had that. The bark was fuel. Oxegen-there had to be air. He needed to add air. He had to fan on it,blow on it. He made the nest ready again,held the hatchet backward,tensed,and struck four quick blows. Sparks came down and he leaned forward as fast as he could and blew." This means that Brian was remebering what he needed to start the fire with. So he tried trial and error till he got it right.

"He had no rope,only the bowstring and the other cut shoe-string in his tennis shoes,which by now where looking dead,his toes showing at the tops. Then he remebered the windbreaker and he found a tattered part he used for an arrow pouch. He tore it into narrow strips and tied them together to make a rope or tie-down,about 4 feet long." This means that Brian was using what he could to do what needed to be done.

"First Arrow Day-When he had used tread from his tattered old piece of windbreaker and some pitch from a stump to put slivers of feathers on a dry willow shaft and make an arrow that would fly correctly." This means that Brian made his first arrow so he could hunt more things like fish,and fool birds.

"He could never throw anything away again,he thought,because it may be useful later." This is him being resourceful because he doesn't want to risk not having anything anymore.
