Aubrey made some very good points in her post. However, I disagree with a few. In concordance to my own post, I believe that Juan is a very wise decision maker. When he seems pessimistic, I think he is only acting realistic. During incidents like the ones Juan encountered, anyone would feel pessimistic. After lack of food and water, many days of exposure, the death of a friend, and a natural disaster, I wouldn't be able imagine what to do next. Juan's pessimism only shows that he is aware that he may die. He still greatly hopes that he won't.
