Hunt For The Wilder People

Moving to a new place with a new family can be hard as we all know.In the movie Ricky Baker

is taken by a new family that he doesnt even know about. In the movie Hunt For the Wilder

People Ricky baker is relatable because he likes being a criminal, he is brave, and is scared of

Child Welfare.

Ricky Baker liked being a criminal. When he was running away with Hek he said to him I

want to be a gangster, a lot of kids joke around by saying that they want to be gangster.Ricky

was a foster kid so he was sick and tired of moving from family to family so running away was

fun for him,it was like a hide and seek game to him.He had a bad rep at Child Welfare.Child

Welfare viewed him as some criminal child.He wanted to keep his rep by making some bad

choices and doing bad things.He wanted to show everyone what he could do but he was just a

kid.Everyone in their life has a moment where they just wanted to do some bad, like running

away from home or sneaking out for a party. Reading this you might think that Ricky Baker is

some kind of a criminal but hes really not.

He is a brave boy.The boy had some guts because running of by yourself and surviving

for a couple of hours can be hard.When Heks leg was broken he showed responsibility and took

care of himself . In the movie when hek was getting beaten up by the two or 3 men and when he

was about to get killed by a hog Ricky saved him. He wasnt tough but the kid had guts.Most

kids aren't that tough but when time comes they man up and become tough.

Ricky Baker also had some fears or a fear,Child Welfare.Child Welfare was the reason

he kept going,its almost like he was running away from his fears or fear. When Hek wanted to

stop running Ricky always pushed to keep running. Normally a child would not be able to
survive the harsh conditions in the wild,unless they are motivated by something. In Rickys case

its Child Welfare. We all have fears some small ones and some big ones and we try our best to

get away from them but we cant

.In the end moving to a new family can be hard but it can also be excited,speaking from

experience I know how it feels. Ricky Baker came to like his new family and got really close to

them. After getting caught they went to court and Ricky got a new family but the boy wanted to

be with his old family,Hek.
