9. Recommendation:  What type of person would enjoy this book?  Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?  Be specific about what you liked or disliked.

All people could read this book. But i recommend that people that like the outdoors or interesting survival biographies would like this book the most. It is a great book with lots of interesting things happening. One thing i didn’t like was that in some parts of the story it got a little boring. But besides that the story had a very interesting topic. I would recommend this book to a friend. I think that others like me may like the story. The book Guts is a great story and i recommend that everyone could read it.

5. Question:  Write down a question about something from the story that interests you.  (Try starting with “I wonder…” OR “I wish I knew more about….” OR “Why is that…”)

I wish i knew more about his home life. I mean he kinda explains it but I’d like to learn some more. i wonder if the emergency volunteer wanted to be a emergency worker when he was younger. did he want to be something else. i wonder if he came across any murders or suicides.

2.  Connect:  Connect what you are reading  to something in your own life, to another book you have read (or movie), or to something happening in the “real” world. When he talks about spending a lot of time in the wilderness I can relate because I’ve been hunting, fishing, and trapping with my dad since i can remember. I’ve never been attacked by any animals as he has though. I can also relate when he talks about his single shot .22. I got a single shot .22 that i saved up for.

1.  Predict:  Use what you know from the story to guess what will happen next or how the story will end.

Based on reading the back of the book i predict that the book will be about how Gary Paulsen got the ideas of what to write in his books. I think that there will be a lot of interesting stories on how he survives. As well as what his home life was like. He’ll probably explain how to survive in the wild. I’ll probably learn what he had for jobs at the time and his view of the world. Gary will probably explain what he was thinking at the time of the incident.
