Character SketcherBrian

Your job as Character Sketcher is to identify a character’s actions (traits) and explain or prove these traits, identify the character’s goal (which is what the character wants to do or accomplish), identify the problem and solution in the reading, and complete a sketch or illustration of the character.

You need to be aware that the character traits you will choose will be implied character traits. In other words, they are nor directly stated in the passage. You really want to use descriptive words for your character traits. You do not want to use words like good, bad, nice, and mean.

Sometimes the solution to your character’s problem will not be in the section of the book that you are reading. In this case, you will need to come up with a possible solution for your character’s problem.

When you begin sketching or illustrating your character, try to use any physical descriptions from the text to help you. Your paper should look like this:

Character Traits (3)1. dispirited p.3 par.6

Brain became dispirited when he started thinking about his parent’s divorce and the true reason behind it. He did not want the pilot to see that he was emotionally weak.

2. terrified p.12 par.12Brian became terrified immediately after he witnessed the pilot have a heart attack. He was overcome with fear and confusion. It was at this point that he realized he was on his own.

3. appreciative p.35 par.3After the plan crashed Brian realized how appreciative he was to be alive, unlike the pilot.

Character Goal Brain’s goal is to survive.

Problem Brian’s problem is that he is the only survivor of the plane crash and is alone in the middle of the Canadian forest.

Solution or Possible SolutionA possible solution for Brain may be to use his hatchet as a tool to acquire food and shelter.

Discussion DirectorSection 1 p.1-42

1. All of the following events happened in Section 1 except for the following?a. Brian’s parents are getting a divorce.b. Brian’s is the only survivor from the plane crash.c. The pilot had a heart attack while flying the plane.d. Brian killed a bear for food.

2. Describe the mood on p.31-32 when Brian is describing the moment when he is dreaming about the “Secret.” How do you think he felt? Why do you think he feels this way?The mood on these pages is very somber and shocking. It is at this very moment that Brian finds out the real reason why his parents are filing for a divorce. He was very surprised and overwhelmed. I do not think that this “Secret” ever crossed his mind. He shows hatred towards the man because he has replaced his father.

3. What do you think the scene of the plane crash looks like in the Canadian forest? What is the weather like?There is nothing left of the plane but bits and pieces. The pieces are scattered throughout the trees and on the ground. It is a clear and sunny summer day.

4. What do you predict will happen in the next section? I think Brian will quickly learn to adapt and survive in his new environment. His main goal at first is going to be getting food and shelter. After he has accomplished these two goals, he will begin to create a plan of rescue.

5. What is the significance of the hatchet? What do you think it symbolizes?The hatchet is going to play an important role in Brian’s survival. His mother gave it to him as a gift right before he got on the plane. I think it symbolizes life.

6. What is the author’s purpose in only having one word in a sentence? For example:p.6 “Divorce. The Secret. Fights. Split.”p.12 “Stopped.”p.23 “Hit.”p.33 “Pain. Memory.”

These words are very important events, messages, and feelings in Brian’s life. The author wants the reader to be aware of these words and that is why he puts them by themselves. They stick out in the pages and in our minds.

SummarizerSection 1 p.1-42

Brian, a thirteen year old, lives with his mother in New York during the school year. During the summer months, he goes to stay with his father outside of the Canadian forest. His parents separated and then divorced, leaving Brian very devastated. Before Brian’s mother drops him off at the airport, she gives him a small gift, a hatchet. Brian was the only passenger on the small plane. During the flight, Brian cannot help but think about his parent’s divorce and the “secret.” He knows the true reason why his parents file for a divorce while his father is oblivious. One day, Brian comes home from riding bikes with his friend, Terry, and sees that another man is with his mother. From this point on, he has a lot of hatred and resentment built up inside.

The pilot invites him into the cockpit and demonstrates and then lets Brian fly the plane while they are in air. While the plane is flying, the pilot has a heart attack leaving Brian in charge of flying the plane. Brian struggles with what to do but eventually decided that it is best if he just lets plane run out of and hope to land in a spot with little trees and a lot of clearing. He finally lands in water and after what seems like an eternity is the only survivor of a Cessna 406-plane crash. Sore and tired, he crawls out of the water and swims to shore. Full of pain, he sleeps and remains motionless for many hours. Then, he finally gains enough energy to sit against a tree looking down on the lake. The section closes with Brian falling back asleep.

Connector Brian was very terrified of the bear but he handled the situation extremely well.

Explain a time when you were very terrified but dealt with the matter in a mature way.

I am absolutely terrified of snakes. Two summers ago, I worked as a counselor at a summer camp. A guest speaker came to speak about animals. In addition, he brought some of the animals. I just had this gut feeling that he had a snake; the huge blue Tupperware box looked like a perfect little traveling habitat for a snake. After about ten minutes, he started talking about snakes and brought his little friend out of the box. He began passing it around and allowing the campers to hold it. One of my campers brought the snake over to me, knowing that I was terrified of them and forced me to pet it. I decided that maybe I should grow up and in fact face my fears. I gathered up enough nerve to gently touch the snake. While I am still not a big fan of snakes, I did overcome one of my biggest nightmares.

I thought of a great activity after reading this section in the book. Brian encounters a tornado, which he describes as sounding like a train. The tornado greatly frightened him. Individually or as a group, you could make a tornado by simply using two plastic 1 Liter bottles, water, and a tornado tube which costs about $2.00. This is a fun activity, which also integrates science.

This web-site provides a coloring book, which is broken down into three parts focusing on tornado safety. http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/edu/bm/bm_main.html

Derek, the pilot, is struck by lightning and is left unconscious. Brain struggles with what to do. He questions whether or not he should do CPR. He decided not to complete this action. He then decided that Derek was left in a coma.

As the investigator, I could research information about CRP and lighting accidents. Here as some web-sites on CPR:
