    I thought HATCHET did a better job at foreshadowing because it actually gave you a clue of what was going to happen. In a “Cry in the Wild” I really didn’t understand what was going to happen until it happened. On the other hand,I thought since it was a movie “a Cry in the Wild” had better imagery but just by a little bit because Hatchet had a bunch of descriptive words. All in all, I thought hatchet had a better compound of foreshadowing and imagery than “a Cry in the…

    Unlike Brian I do not think that I could survive in the canadian wilderness after looking over my characteristics and my abilities to see day fifty four. Brian endured many challenges over the gruelling fifty four days but he persevered through it and did not give up.
