My reaction to this book so far is that the boys are doing a good job surviving on the island. They are more organized than you would think young boys would be. For the most part they get jobs done although there are some issues at times. I think as time goes on the boys are starting to face reality of being stuck on the island with no parents. The struggles they are coming across are getting harder and harder and they are starting to argue more, and I think things are starting to get out of hand. At first they thought that it was great that there were no parents on the island with them, but now they need to do everything they can to survive. The behavior of the characters in the book are just like what a normal young boy’s behavior would be. They make fun of each other and argue over small things, however they are very brave. They are becoming more accustom to the wild and are learning how to fight for their food by hunting and learning how to work with each other to get things done. They are becoming more wild and learning how to fight for themselves. A connection to this book is that the boys are turning into natural human instinct because there are no adults and authority around them. This connects to the real life today because that’s what happens to people if they are separated from society. Real situations similar to this have occurred. One question I have for this book is how much longer the boys will be able to survive on the island alone. I think that they are doing a good job but you can see that things are starting to get a little tense between them and it will only get worse. My prediction for the rest of the story is that the boys will become frustrated with each other and more violence will occur. Things won’t be done and it will start chaos on the island, and trying to get rescued will become harder.
