Discovery Questions

  • Brian was afraid when he realized he may not be rescued for several days. When have you been afraid? Why? What did you do? Write about it. Share your writing with an adult.
  • Brian learned it took a lot of patience to learn all the lessons he would need to survive. Think of another story where someone needs to use patience. How are they like Brian? How are they different? Talk about it with an adult.
  • Brian misses the things we all take for granted: food, shelter, protection from insects. Do people everywhere have these comforts? Talk about it with an adult.
  • With an adult’s help, research why smoke keeps bugs away.
