The boy would…

  • Think about the Old Man, think about for how he is doing – is everything well or not.
  • Hope that the Old Man was right about the 85th day being lucky.
  • Wish how he was on the man’s boat to talk and catch fish with him.
  • Catch lots of decent sized fish as he is on the lucky boat.
  • Talk to the man he is on the boat with, he could talk about what he thinks of the old man.
  • Think about the baseball
  • Make sure not to eat or drink all the food and water, only do it when needing the strength.
  • Maybe argue with the man on the boat with him if someone does something wrong and blame each other. A reason could be because the boy is younger and could be less experienced or lacks  the strength.
  • Think what happened to the old man, why has he not come back home yet?
