How does Brian feel about his mother as she drives him to the plane that will take him to Canada?

He is angry with her but he also loves her. Phrases like “A long drive in silence,” “the white hot hate of his anger,” and “he felt bad for not speaking to her” show his mixed feelings toward his mother

What experience has Brian had that helps him understand what is happening to the pilot? Why do you think the author tells the readers that Brian has had this experience?

He once saw a man have a heart attack; the author tells us this so we will know that Brian’s thoughts about the heart attack are probably correct.

He once saw a woman have a heart attack although he doesn't recall the symptoms of what lead up to her dying.; which confuses the reader about what is going to happen to the pilot.

He once saw a child have a heart attack in a movie which informs the reader that Brian knows what is about to happen to the pilot.

He once had a neighbor nearly die from a heart attack but fortunately she survived; leading the reader to understand Brian's thoughts about the pilot.

Read these words and phrases from the beginning of Chapter 2: “could not understand,” “could do nothing,” “hands and arms were lead. What feelings and emotions does this convey to the reader?

Brian is panicked and helpless.

Brian faces two choices to land the plane. He can wait for the plane to run out of fuel and fall, or he can push the throttle in and try to land it. How does he assess those choices, and which choice does he make?

Even though he knows the plane is probably flying further and further off-course every minute, he cannot bring himself to make the plane go down. He is afraid of what will happen and wants to hold on to his relative safety in the still-flying plane. He eventually finds an L-shaped lake and lands the plane.

Even though he knows there is no way he can land the plane and will probably die like the pilot, he decides to land in a cluster of soft pine trees. He figures that he has a better chance to land the plane on land because he fears drowning in the lake. He eventually lands in the lake and surprisingly, survives.

Why does Brian remind himself of his name, age, and situation? What other facts does he try to provide?

He is trying to make sense of his situation and get a grip on reality. He is also trying to describe the events that led to his situation, to determine what is going to happen, and to figure out when he will be found.

He is trying to remember his identity because he suffered partial memory loss due to a head injury which occurred during the crash landing. He is trying to to determine what is going to happen, and to figure out when he will be found.

Why does Brian feel that he is lucky to discover the rock overhang?

The overhang provides a shelter that is stronger than a lean-to and is watertight, because of the stone roof. It also offers a sand beach leading down to the water.

The overhang provides safety from animals, insects and other pests. Furthermore, the overhang will maintain a constant temperature of 70 degrees. He is 100% safe there!

In Chapter 6, Brian has solved the problem of finding shelter. Identify two other problems that he has solved.

dealing with his thirst and finding food

dealing with homesickness and finding a radio

dealing with insects and finding a magic stone

dealing with thirst and finding a fishing rod

What thought process allows Brian to overcome his fear of the bear and return to the raspberry bushes?

Brian tells himself that the bear made no move to hurt him; it simply stood to study him and then went back to eating berries because it did not want to hurt Brian. Brian is very hungry, and the raspberries are good and the only food he has.

Brian tells himself that human needs come before animal needs. Although he considered that the bear may have cubs and knows that it is the bear's nature to protect her young, Brain risks throwing rocks at the bear. Brian is very hungry and knows that berries are the only food he has.

From what point of view is this story told?
