My Side of the Mountain: Traits Paragraph

In the book, My Side of the Mountain, the author writes about a boy, Sam, who was resourceful, responsible, and a problem solver. He lived alone on a mountain with animals and survived using his three traits.

   For example, Sam was a problem solver when he got unaccompanied. All the animals were busy gathering food for the winter. Sam had no company. So, he decided to have a Halloween party since it was nearly Halloween. He hoped that it would appeal company. It did attract company---in a bad way. It attracted animals which stole Sam's winter food supplies. Sam simply resolved that problem by scaring the animals away. "I growled and snarled and hissed and snorted."
   Another example of Sam's character is that he is responsible. He thinks ahead to what will happen. Luckily for him, he wouldn't have survived winter without this trait. Prognosticating helped him know that he will be needing food for winter. He needed to gather apples and nuts. He joined the squirrels and started gathering nuts. "I have been up and down every day for a week, watching to see if walnuts and hicktory nuts are ripe." This helped him gather the right nuts at the right time.
   Equally important is how resourceful Sam is. To keep him warm, he needed to build a fireplace and decided to use clay.One creative way that Sam used his resources was how he carried clay. Who would have guessed that he transported clay using his pants? Sam used the clay he got to build a useful fireplace which during winter would be used to keep him tepid. He would freeze without a fire place. Sam made good use of the animals too. He utilized rabbit and squirrel skin to make apparels such as jackets, underwares, mittens, and socks.
   Sam was lucky and got those traits to endure winter on the mountains alone. Everyone should have traits like Sam's so that they too will be able to problem-solve well.
