Book Report On Hatchet

Could last 54 days in the canadian wilderness by yourself and only with a hatchet and torn windbreaker? In the book Hatchet by Gary paulsen brian is in a traumatizing plane crash and is in the canadian wilderness for 54 days. I think it would be hard because brian had never been alone in the middle of nowhere never even hunted and having to learn or you starve. It would be hard but he did it and he learned something that can help him in the future anytime. Brain has never done anything like this and he was really good at hunting and fishing so he would have something to eat and he made his own shelter. I am going to tell you about Aha moments that he has in the 54 days he was in the wilderness.

In this paragraph we will be talking about how

    The hook of a novel is arguable the most important element. It catches the reader’s attention and makes them interested in the story. Without a hook, there is nothing for the reader to connect to, which leads to them becoming uninterested and putting down the book. Based on “The Hook” by K.M. Weiland, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of “The Sign of the Four” has successfully written a good hook. Doyle opens the novel with the main character, Sherlock Holmes, and then he immediately makes the reader ask themselves a question while simultaneously setting the tone.…

    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…

    I believe that Hatchet doses a better job of telling the story. I believe this because, Hatchet gives more details than the movie “A Cry In The Wild” does. In Hatchet he went to sleep like three times after the plane had crashed in the pound. But in the movie he just went to sleep ones. Also in the novel Brien called the barriers gut barriers, but in the movie he called them throw-up barriers.…

    There are probably a lot of people that will agree with me when I say surviving with nothing is no fun. Brian had to in order to survive in Hatchet. He had to make decisions he didn’t want to make in order to survive. I’m just as old as he would be then, and I have just the knowledge if not more. I watch videos of what to do in situations like that because you never know when you can use them.…

    Having a bus as shelter helped greatly when he was there but when he wasn’t he was left to the arms of nature and whatever happened either rain or hail he survived. Now to say that he was foolish to stay out there so long may be a statement that some would make but I would bet that Emerson or Thoreau would have been very proud to see him endure the wild. McCandless did take a sudden turn in his life from that of a privileged boy to one who survived on his own with nothing more than little supplies for a month.…

    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. In conclusion, although Hatchet has many thrills in their like Brian getting stranded in the wild, I’m hoping that no one ever has to go through what Brian had to and that it will stay in the thrills and wonders through the pages of the book…
