Brian's Hunt
“. . .
He had returned to his world, the wilderness. He had sworn that he wouldn’t, once he’d gone back to civilization, even when he found out that once he was sixteen he could actually quit school if he wanted to and had his parents’ consent. But he didn’t want to do that because he had discovered that there was this incredible thing that happened with studying: you learned things.
It sounded dumb when he thought of it, kind of like duh, really, no kidding. But before the plane crash s...o much of his schooling had been simply getting by, trying to learn just enough to pass the tests and never really knowing anything.

You eat the gut berries, you throw up.MoreLess
