“There are times when it could save your life, believe me.”’ (Bryson p305) Bryson shows us that it is ridiculous the way we feel the need to “have” things to make our lives complete. This man is convinced that this product could someday save his life and that he absolutely “needs” it to survive in the wilderness. People seem to think that we need gadgets or “state of the art” things, in order to have a meaningful experience. At the beginning of the book, Bryson is attempting to prepare for life on the trail, but trying to be practical about the amount of things he “needs” as well as the cost of all of these items. Bryson’s wit reveals how a person’s “wants” gets in the way of them realizing they don’t need extra man-made items when nature offers so much.
Paul’s parents’ choices changed the direction of his life. While they meant well, they were shielding Paul from life and the real world. They also prevented Paul from growing up and may have led Paul to distrust his parents and other authority figures.

He is somewhat of an outcast and is forced to survive on his wits. The correspondent is the central character of “The Open Boat.” The correspondent is a young man who discovers that nature and fate do not think and act as men do. Huckleberry Finn shows that he would enjoy a lifelong matrimony with nature, while the correspondent in “The Open Boat” scorns and is horrified of nature. Nature can be a method for survival, but it can also keep someone from surviving. In “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and “The Open Boat” nature is the main aspect of survival in one way or another.
“All right then,” Huck decides in chapter 31, “I’ll go to hell,” (250). With this decision, he realizes that helping his friend is more important than a traditional rule of the church. Likewise, Huck also reforms and fine-tunes his original moral code throughout the story. Generally his code for lying from the beginning is that it’s wrong and that he shouldn’t do it. But, throughout his adventures, he realizes that sometimes it’s alright to do it and sometimes not.
Ralph upholds the responsibility as chief because he knows he has to somehow guide the boys until they were rescued. Although he is afraid of what lay ahead, he becomes brave and takes position with confidence. Apart from taking a risky position as leader, Ralph shows bravery by taking risks so the other boys do not have to. He, for example, went down to the red cliff where the boys think the beast could be hiding. “...[He] realized with surprise that he did not really expect to meet the beast and didn’t know what he would do about it if he did” (Golding 105).
He obviously likes to spend time with his son. Just before Christmas they were going to ski, and I suppose that his father wants to pull the boy out of his orderly life to show that life can be pleasure. Of course, we can see that the father doesn’t obey the rules. For instance, when the trooper says, “The road is closed”, he still travels to the closed and dangerous road and forces his son to participate in this. Although he seems irresponsible, we can find him an excuse because he tries to return the boy in time.
