1. Brian was able to land the plane in a lake.
2. He ripped at the seat belt until it released, broke his wind breaker free, pulled himself through the front window, and swam to the surface.
Chapter 4
1. Mosquitos and black flies were eating him and chewing him.
2 . The sun came up and the bugs left him alone.
3. The city is black and gray and the forest is colorful. The noises are also very different.
Discussion
I would feel very emotional and I wouldn't be able to think properly because of what just had happened to me. On the plane I might have tried to gather some things on the plane before it crashed. He seemed to have a lot of time trying to reach somebody on the radio where he could have secured some things to use after he crashed.
Thank you for your post Noah. What a great thought. Yes, I agree, it would have been very emotional. It goes to show that we don't always think logically in a stressful situation. Great job!!

ReplyDeleteChapter 3
1.Brian was able to land the plane in a lake.
2. He had to unbuckle his seat belt and swim for land.
Chapter 4
1. He got attacked by mosquitoes and flies.
2. The sun at its zenith drove the insects away.
3.The forest was very different from the city because there were no other people, different sounds, and exposure to the outside world.
I think I would try to find food, water, and shelter. I would probably be pumped up and scared.
Thank you for your post Tom. You are on the right path for survival. Those are the three most important things. I would be scared too. Great Job!!!

Discussion question: I would have immediately started chopping down trees with the hatchet and built a house.
Thank you Benjamin for your answers. A shelter is very important for survival and the Hatchett would come in handy when trying to build one. Great Job!!

ReplyDelete1) He was able to land it in the lake because there was a clearing in the trees. But the wings got torn off in the process.
2) He had to rip so hard at the buckle release that his fingernails came loose. He had to rip his windbreaker. He had to swim out of the lake.
Bekah W chapter 3
ReplyDelete1) Brian landed the plane in a patch of torn up trees which led to the L shaped lake.
2) Brian tore at the belt buckle to get free and he had to swim to the surface of the lake out of the sinking plane.

Hi Anonymous, can you please let us know who you are?
Deletethis was timmy. I don't know how to change it.
DeleteThank you for posting and you are doing well. I think most would feel the same way about being scared and not knowing what to do, especially if they came from the city. Great Job!!
DeleteBekah W Chapter 4) Mosquitos and small black flies. 2) The sun's heat 3) The forest is the same as the city in all the noise. But it is different in color. DQ) I would have probably freaked out as soon as the pilot started spasming. I would feel scared and helpless.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bekah for your postings. I enjoy reading them. That is probably the time I would start feeling the same way. I am not a fan of heights. Great Job!!!
DeleteFrom Lisa,
ReplyDeletech.3
1. He landed on the L shaped lake.
2. he had to claw at his seatbelt and unbuckle so he could swim out of the plane and out of the lake.
Ch4.
1. Mosquitos covered his skin
2. The warmth from the sun.
3. He thought it was different, until he really listened and they are both loud, but the forest is more colorful and the sounds are much diffferent.
I would be very scared, but I would try right away to build a shelter and make a fire.
Hi Lisa, thank you for participating in the program. Building a shelter and keeping warm is very important in this type of situation. You are on your way to being a wilderness girl.;) Great job!!!
DeleteSilas W Chapter 4 and DQ
ReplyDelete1) bugs
2) The sun came up.
3) He said the city was gray and noisy and he was used to it. But the forest was green and blue. He wasn't used to it. It was quieter than he was used to.
DQ) I would have screamed and tried the radio. I would have searched for a parachute. I would have felt scared.
Thank you for your posts Silas. I think screaming would be a common reaction by many. Searching for a parachute is a smart decision. Great Job!!!
DeleteEngland:
ReplyDeleteChapter 3
1. In the lake.
2. Brake out of the plane.
Chapter 4
1. Mosquitos and black flies.
2. The sun rise.
3. Less noisy.
Discussion question:
I would feel scared, homesick and lonely. I would have tried to find a parachute instead of landing in a lake.
Thank you for posting England. I would miss my family too. At a time like this, just thinking about them helps you to survive and keep going. Your mental state is just as important as your physical health. Great Job!!
DeleteCh. 3
ReplyDelete1 in the lake
2 he was desperately trying to free himself of the stuck buckle then ripping the windbreaker because he was caught on something and he needed to get to the surface to get a breath of fresh air
Ch. 4
1 mosquitoes and flies that bite and sting
2 the daylight
3 it was much quieter yet much louder at the same time
I would feel panicked and worried that I would crash the plane. I would have tried to make sense of all the numbers on the gauges and dials and tried to send one last plea of help with some or possibly all the numbers (depending on how many get through) that I'm reading off the gauges and dials, it SHOULDN'T be TOO hard but then again I have always been tech savvy (for the most part).
This is Rosa...no idea how to make it say my name, I'll try to figure it out though.
DeleteI think I got it...
