1. Hideo to me is very...courageous, but a little head strong. Like when he wanted to join the Japan army. I thought he was going a little to far. Still he cares for his family and will do anything to protect his mother and sisters. He is very educated, smart and I think he will be a very good leader. He also responsible in that he does what he's told and like when he purposely failed the test because he know he had to watch over his sisters and mother than die in battle that would be over in a few days anyway.

2. I would bring dried out pomegranates because when dried out it can last for years, dried out food of any kind so it would last for many days, tent for shelter, machete for cutting brush in case you go off trail and sometime a weapon, jugs full of water, first aid kit, lots of coats and blankets, writing materials or a diary in case of directions or just to write things done and to look back on it, small cooking kits to cook food, lantern for light, rope and a hunting knife for to tie things and to cut things, pocket knife for cutting, eating and other things, a bible for faith and hope, soap to wash, a map and compass to tell where you're going, combs in keep your hair decent, money to buy things, tarp for when it rain and you can use it as a blanket when it's not raining, and so clothes to wear.

3. I really became upset when the nurse threw out the dead baby and then the mother jumped out to save her baby. I thought that is was very disturbing. If she really loved baby so much that she take her own life to just to hold a dead baby.
