This book, written by Gary Paulsen, talks about a boy named Brian, who was going to visit his grandfather by plane, and crashed into a lake. After escaping from the lake, he went into a forest. What he does have is a hand axe that his mother gave him. He alone in the face of uninhabited wilderness, in the forest full of danger, with strong survival ideas, accomplished many things, such as building a house, looking for water. Nature is not easy, he has to overcome the challenges of nature, such as disease, wild animals, lack of food and water. But he made it through, lived on, and was finally rescued in 54 and returned to the family where he had come from.
Wisdom is important to people, and that is why humans can separate themselves from animals. Brian is a child born in the city, accustomed to the convenient life brought by civilization, it is hard to imagine that in the future, sleeping on the rock wall, eating wild fruits, cooking on fire... And so on, this kind of thing can almost only be heard in the novel, seems to be far away from us, it is obvious that he did not know the way to survive at first, and made himself sick. However, he quickly summed up his experience on his own, even in aspects he did not know. It was hard for him to suddenly arrive in a difficult place to live, but wisdom saved him and he finally escaped from the island. Wisdom is the ability of people to survive.
In the midst of difficulties, people can always change themselves and find the way to the light. Goethe said, "Nature keeps people in the dark and forces them to always look for the light." Everything before maturity, with bitterness, and bitter is like the temper of life, is the touchstone of life, plain life always makes people decadent. Life on the island was always full of danger, but it was also because of this, he was able to keep alert at all times, in a lonely island to enrich himself, change his former character, to find the bright road. The process of change is often hard, experience how many fumble, how many attempts, how many failures, because overcome, so there will be the pair of beautiful wings, and wings are not only beautiful, but also a description of the traces of growth before groping. Only by finding a bright road can life usher in innovation.
Family affection is also a constant concern in people's hearts. How many humen in ancient and modern times, did the desperate thought of the family just succeed? Family is an amazing person, the foundation of everything. If people lose their roots, they lose everything, like the walking dead. On the contrary, you can meet at any time. Brian was in the middle of nowhere on a small island, with no people but a strong belief in survival. What kind of energy is that? Family love, of course. It's the family that keeps him awake when he's sick. For the unaccompanied, a serious illness is almost a death sentence. But he survived. The family brings the same faith, leading the people in crisis, to a glorious.
Long years are waiting for us to grasp, to cherish, to persist, not sigh and lament. "The great wheel of time will always roll over the most rugged days." As long as you are mentally prepared, without fear or panic, you will always find that you can withstand any hardship. Humans think that we are different because of their wisdom. And wisdom is also a really good thing if we use it well. People are good at self-rescue, to save themselves in danger. And the impetus for rescue came from a fundamental concern for one's family. Caring makes people have a goal and know where to work.
