The days had folded one into another and mixed so that after two or three weeks he only knew that time had passed in days because he made a mark for each day in the stone near the door to his shelter. Real time he measured in events. A day was nothing, not a thing to remember – it was just the sun coming up, the sun going down, some light in the middle. But events – events were burned into his memory and so he used them to remember time, to know and remember what happened to keep a mental journal. Hatchet Ch. 15 Q: How is Brian getting along at this point in the story?
