In my opinion, Hatchet, to me does a better job of explaining the story rather than “A Cry in the Wild”. I felt that the book used good foreshadowing and imagery better because it takes Brian a while to comprehend what happened in foreshadowing so he has time to do more major parts in the book until he comprehends what happened, and it describes what Brian saw with imagery.. An example of foreshadowing, “As he threw the hatchet a shower of sparks rained down.” Example from pg. 75. Later that night, Brian dreamed of Terry and his dad trying to show him how to make fire. An example of imagery is, “The smell was one of rot.” As it stated on pg. 74. These are referenced from the book. Although, in the movie he doesn’t really have foreshadowing
