Abel's Island: Forum Query #2

Brainstorm words to describe Abel.
From that list, choose one word that best describes him and discuss why. Choose a word that is both expressive and vivid.

  1. Determined. I chose determined becaused Abel is determined to get his wife's scarf. He has put his life in danger because he ran out into the rain to get it. You might also call him dumb to do something like that, which is dumb-witted, I'll admit, but he won't let that scarf get away.

  5. The best word to describe Abel is caring because a man would'nt jump out in a storm getting something for his wife, but Abel did.He's also caring because he brought his wife a flower from the field on their picnic.

  6. Hard worker! When he was on that island alone with no one there to help he had to build stuff on his own! He didn't care if he had to stay for a few more days. He wanted to see his wife badly but he is still hanging in there! He is always inventing something to get him across the island!

  7. If I were to see Able, I would call him courages. If he will build a boat just to get back to his wife, he is! I hope he sees her soon. I think he is very tender hearted.

  8. Thinker. Abel is a thinker. Why you ask? He never gave up on his ideas. He always invents something new to get him home. His wife is probably wailing at home.

  13. I would say ether dumb or brave maybe smart.I think he's kind of dumb because he went after his wifes scarf. He could have bought her another one.He is also brave because he did all he could to go back homa to see his wife.Nom if that isn't brave than i don't know what is. He is smart because he thought of all of thoughs neet ways to cross the river.Also he is very creative. I would never have thought of a hang glider.
