Answer:
Mr. Ben was depicted as an adventurous man, who did not listen to warnings.
Explanation:
In "The Hike", by Drew Magary, the main character, Ben was a business man who left his wife Teresa and three children to go on a trip to Philadelphia. There, he decided to go on a hike even after he was told that there was no path or trail for people to go on a hike by the woman who managed the hotel.
His insistence resulted in a troublesome adventure where he encountered so many weird incidents like the dog-faced men who killed people. He met his former school mate who disappeared in the morning and an old woman named Mrs. Blackwell who promised to lead him to Courtshire. In summary, it was a very scary adventure that caused him to get lost in the path.
