(Revised)
ReplyDeleteQ
- What is the secret that ended Brian's parents marriage?
- What was Brian's mother doing with the blond haired man? Does it have something to do with the secret?
W
- I thought "Oh wow" when Brian said he was coughing, spitting and sneezing out insects. There'd have to be so many bugs around to almost be choking on them.
- I thought "Oh wow" when Brian said he was lucky that he didn't land a little to the left or else he would have been killed by the rocks. If he simply would've just moved the plane a little it could have ended his life so is current pain wasn't as bad as what could have happened to him.
I
- I can visualize Brian and his friend Terry zooming around on their ten speed bikes on the trail.
- I can visualize Brian being completely bitten to the breaking point by the bugs.
L
- I found hoarse to be an interesting word.
- With it came some warmth, small bits of it at first, and with the heat came clouds of insects-thick, swarming hordes of mosquitoes that flocked to his body, made a living coat on his ex-posed skin, clogged his nostrils when he inhaled, poured into his mouth when he opened it to take a breath.

ReplyDeleteQ #1
I don't think that it was Brian's dad, but I do believe that it has something to do with the secret.
Q #2
Yes.
Q #3
The "L" is the shape of the lake.
Q #4
The "V" I think was explaining the ripples in the water behind him as he swam.
Q #5
I think that Brian is currently calm (besides the mosquitoes) but soon to come I don't think that he'll be loving the wild since it will be challenge to live in since he's stuck there.
