interesting to me. The book is authored by Gary Paulsen and published in 2003. As the main character, Brian Robeson had a plane accident when he was 14 years old.

Hemingway’s “Big Two Hearted River” uses nature to develop the protagonist, Nick, as he attempts to start anew by exploring in the wilderness, after the horrors of war. “The Heart of the Sourdough” (Service) has a narrator, however, whose experiences with the outdoors shaped him to believe that the wild “must win in the end.” This can be linked to Hemingway’s short story due to the fact that in each piece, the main character (or narrator in Service’s piece) is enhanced by nature; Service’s piece…
