The only education that Brian is able to get is to teach himself a decent lifestyle. He is able to get somewhat of a self taught education by trial and error situations that he has been through. When Brian was trying to start the fire it took many tries, but luckily on the fourth time of trial and error he was able to create a steady fire which contributed to how he stayed alive. “ I was beginning to get very cold and I needed the warmth from the fire to prepare myself something to eat.(45).
