This would help in many ways. In the book of Hatchet, Brian needed to be creative to make his place to live, to make his tools, and to make his raft. His home, an overhang he had found where had put sticks around for walls, had to have been made from creativity, because if he had not used it he would probably have not had a place to live. To make all of his tools, he was being very creative, because e needed to find things to make them with and how to put them together with only the things he had. Brian’s raft that he made from big branches used creativity because he figured out how to put them together without string and he made it using only sticks. Ernest Shackleton used creativity when he and his crew had to build an entire town made of igloos and other buildings to survive on

In the context of creativity’s stated definition, we will proceed to group our arguments into three themes of factors: cognitive ability, expertise training, and environmental conditions. The human brain is highly adaptable and can continue to develop new cognitive abilities, even past adulthood (Norman, 2015). Proper cognitive expertise and training can help workers produce and operate in ingenious ways (Ginamarie, Lertiz & Mumford, 2004). Finally, the working environment can both motivate or stifle creative output. Managers can influence all three components: expertise, thinking skills, and motivation (Amabile, 1998).
What creativity actually is when you use your imagination, allowing things in the mind to occur that wouldn’t actually occur and also things to better the world. “Being creative is not only about thinking: it is about feeling” (160). You can not just think but you have to have feelings to make sure that you doing things right and feeling like you made something productive in the time. Being creative requires a long process, “magination which is the process of bringing to mind things that are not present to our senses; creativity, which is the process of developing original ideas that

S. I. Hayakawa wrote and published an article named "What lt Means to Be Creative". This article challenged how a creative person could be defined and identified. In Hayakawa’s essay he presents several points of view an individual could be characterized as being creative. His writing forces you to contemplate on how a person’s aptitudes are categorized.

After reading his writing, I believe I can summarize his analogy.

With the list of important survivor characteristics in mind from “Deep survival”,by Laurence Gonzales, it becomes obvious that the overconfident man in “To Build a Fire” ,by Jack London, did not posses the necessary qualities people need to survive a desperate situation. For example, throughout this story he repeatedly broke rule four, take correct decisive actions. While he did take decisive actions, they were not always correct.

Furthermore, in lines 468-470 he was not grateful to be alive after all of his careless mistakes, instead he was jealous of his dog because it was warm and he was not. The man is, therefore, also breaking
