2nd post to The River
Throughout the start of the book the Brian ends up back in the wilderness. Once there he evolves into a different person. When Brian lands and gets out of the plane he changes its like he has a mental evolution because his mind tells him go into a survival mode. What makes him change is the fact that not to long ago he was in the wilderness alone because he had crashed there trying to land the plane saftly after the piolot had a heart attack. He starts to remember the last time he was there and how hard it was for him to survive. He tell the man that is with him that they are going to leave everything on the plane and send it all back because he know that if its there then they will end up using it. He tells the man that if its there it will be cheating because its not the real thing and if its there they will end up going to it when they are starving and eat the food that is there and that is not part of the trip. Their trip is about surviving in the wilderness will nothing but a hatchet or something little.

Once there he evolves into a different person...
Great start to your response. I'm a bit confused. Is that the gist of the story, that Brian takes a kind of intentional trip into the wilderness. I think I remember you saying that before. So, what does Brian's actions in this part say about him as a person?
