      3) I think Micheal feels worried and some what courageous.
      4) Micheal worries about the fire while he is looking for more wood
      5)On one line “I hurried on, swallowing my fear as best as I could. I thought of the gibbons I had seen back in the zoo and tried to persuade myself how harmless they had looked. They’d leave us alone, they’d never attack us. They weren’t man-eaters.” It shows that Michael’s life flashed before his life because he has gulped several times which has shown regret or fear which in this case is fear.
      6)He uses the word laboriously(in a way that takes considerable time and effort.) because climbing can some times take time and use some stamina.
      7)I think Stella is an important character because she received the fact that a “Type of monkey” was in the forest which turned out to be a man.
