THE RIVER BLOG #4

As I read today there was an event that had surprised me. This event changed the way I was viewing the rest of the book so far. What had happened that surprised me was that the man Derek that was with Brian in the wilderness this time was severely hurt. Over the night there was a storm that was on its way and when the storm hit, it hit really bad. The storm was very devistating there was thunder and lightning which caused a big problem in this trip to the wild to teach survival techneques. While in there overhand shelter, Derek was reaching for his breifcase which held the radio and the notebooks that he had bronght on the trip, lightning had struck the a fallen tree just outside there shelter and went down the tree throught the breifcase that Derek was reaching for and into him and brian was him but wasn't affected bad. Now derek on the other hand Brian thought that he was dead but when his vision cleared he noticed that Derek was breathing but barely. That is as far as i got but this left me thinking will Derek survive or will he die. Will Brian and him be ably to get help now that the radio is fried for the lightning strike. And will Brian be able to over come the wilderness again?
