Advanced (Analyze and Interpret):

-----------------------------------------------------------

1. How can we balance our desire to explore the wilderness and experience nature with the need to protect and respect the habitats of wild animals?

-Just stop throwing your trash in their home. Have some dignity and don’t litter. Also leave the animals living in their habitats alone. You’re there just to experience nature and wilderness, not screw up the place they live in.


2. The characters in this story faced dangerous situations but ultimately found humor in their experience. How can humor and positivity help us cope with difficult situations?

-Sometimes in a life and death situation, humor is the only valuable thing one can have in order to cope with the fact that they are probably about to die. Humor can make those in dire situations alleviate their anxiety at their apparent mortality.

3. In what ways can the lessons learned from this camping trip be applied to other areas of life, such as in the workplace or personal relationships?

-Take risks if you can. It could be rewarding.


4. How does our exposure to nature and the outdoors affect our mental and emotional well-being?

-It affects us in a good way. When you’re stressed from working your job, sometimes all you need is a little bit of vacation of travelling outdoors and breathing the fresh air to remind us that life is worth living.


5. What role do cultural attitudes and values play in shaping our relationship with nature, and how can we promote more sustainable and respectful attitudes towards the environment?

-Our attitudes and cultural values such as our belief systems, including religious and spiritual alike, plays a role in our understanding of the environment. Some belief systems may emphasize total control over nature, while others may view nature as sacred and worth protecting. Understanding these worldviews can help bridge gaps and promote good attitude towards nature.
