What Makes Fire?

While Brian fumbled through the forrest, trying his best to survive on his own. He had made sevreal attempts on making a fire, a warm red glow that can light up both the fearsome  dark nights and his future as a loner in an environment that seemed to be against him. "Making a fire" isn't something you will expect to learn in a science class or be tested on in any standerlized test, so Brain has no real knowledge of fire making which can be extremely dangerous. Yet due to the fact that he had been absorbing imformation his teachrs, television and so on, he was able to actually have a a basic concept of fire making. That, is misleading, however since " rubbing two sticks together", something that was always demonstrated on television is actually quite diffucult to accomplish. Brian's failing is actually quite common, in fact, it would be will be rather suprising if he actually succeeded making a fire using two sticks. The night after Brian's attemp to rub two sticks together and make a fire he was attacked by a porcupine, he was wounded but
I chose to view this matter as a lucky thing. If it wasn't for the porcupine, Brian would never throw his hatchet, and without doing that he will never be able to make a fire. Anyway, you can interpret it whatever you like. As in for the conditions necessary to make a fire, Brian needed twigs to burn on, his hatchet to actually start the fire...
