Intro to The River

The book that i have selected for this reading project is "The River" by Gary Paulsen. It's about a boy named Brian who has recently survived a plane crash in the wilderness and is now back home. After a few years back, a man named Derek and two other man came looking for Brian to ask him for a favor. The three men ask Brian if he will be willing to relive his experience of surviving alone but this time one of them are going to come alone to record the techniques that Brian uses to survive. They sit down with Brian and his mother to discuss it. Brian agrees to do it but before he can they need to make sure that his father agrees as well and he does after a long talk with these men. Now that everything is planed out he is ready to leave and experience it all over again. So far I like the book because of the sence of adventure that Brian has to go through again to survive. It sort of relates to me because i like to do thing that are challenging.
