Read the following passage from Chapter 3:

Mafatu jumped in alarm as a wild boar crashed through the undergrowth. It was so close that the boy caught a glimpse of its dark hide. Uri leaped in pursuit, barking furiously. Mafatu relaxed, and a smile crossed his face. Pig roasted underground in the hot oven stones of the umu—AuéI His mouth watered at the golden prospect. He would make a spear and kill the puaa, that’s what he would do! He was fired with excitement and set for the adventure. Then the thought of killing a wild boar in single-handed combat struck him dumb with wonder. Why, he would never have dreamed of such a thing in Hikueru! He was Mafatu, the Boy Who Was Afraid… He set his jaw with fierce resolution. He had never known a man who killed a wild pig. But Grandfather Ruau, who had traveled as far as distant Tahiti, had told how the warriors of that island killed pigs in the mountains with naught but a knife for a weapon, bracing themselves so that the animal impaled itself upon the blade. It needed a strong arm, and a stouter heart. Could he, Mafatu, ever accomplish such a feat? Grandfather brought back with him a necklace made from the curling tusks of the boar, and Mafatu could remember to this day how the dark-blue scrolls of tattooing on the old man’s copper flesh set off the handsome ivory teeth. That necklace was the envy of every man in Hikueru and its possession earned Grandfather much respect. “I will make such a necklace for myself from the tusks,” the boy promised bravely. “And when I return to Hikueru men will look up to me and say: ‘There goes Mafatu. He killed the wild boar single-handed!’ And Tavana Nui, my father, will be filled with pride.” The prospect of returning home set another train of thought in motion. “I must find a tree, a tamanu, for my canoe,” the boy said aloud. “I will burn it out, then make an adze of basalt to finish it. I’ll plait a sail of pandanus. And oh, it will be a wonderful canoe!”

What change does Mafatu recognize in himself?

• He is braver than he was in Hikueru.

• He is no longer a vegetarian.

• He has learned how to make spears.

• He now owns a boar tusk necklace.
