Compare And Contrast The Hatchet Vs A Cry In The Wild

Decent Essays
The book Hatchet does a better job of telling the novel Hatchet than the movie “A Cry In The Wild”. One example of foreshadowing is when the hatchet hit upside the rock and made a spark and help give an image of what he needed to make the fire.Due to this in the book it explained how the hatchet hit the rock and helped him make the fire. On the other hand, in the movie, it did not say why it made it help him make the fire it just showed the Hatchet hitting the rock and him making the fire with it. I believe this because the book gave more details and said more about what happened.Plus the movie really did not have any words or say much.This is why I say the book Hatchet does a better job of telling the story.

    I believe that “A cry in the wild”does a better job than the novel Hatchet. I think this because A cry in the wild explains what happened way better than the novel Hatchet. For an example when the pilot had a heart attack the movie made it look like he was in very bad pain but in the novel Hatchet it didn't even sound like he was hurting. Also the movie uses way more foreshadowing and imagery. Like when Brian throws his hatchet across his shelter it made sparks.…

    For decades, popular novels have been published and years later followed with a film. Although the movie tends to portray imagery, the course of events in the book tend to contrast to those of the film. This became abundantly clear when I read the book and watched the movie, The Natural. In both the novel and the film, we learn about the life of a baseball player named Roy Hobbs, who was born with a talent and was given the ability to pursue his goal of life. Although his mindset was determined to break all the records in the game, many obstacles stood in his path ultimately skewing his priorities and driving him towards a path only ending with failure.…

    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 think it is safe to say that if you are alone in the Canadian wilderness in an unknown situation it is no one’s ideal situation. But in the book Hatchet written by Gary Paulsen, that is what happens to 13 year old Brian Robeson when he is going to Canada to visit his dad. But when the plane he is flying in crashes because of the pilots sudden heart attack, He is stranded in the Canadian wilderness where Brian is isolated and stranded and has nothing but his hatchet and himself to try to survive. Even though Brian is stranded he manages to survive after a grueling fifty four days in the wilderness. Unlike Brian I do not think I would be able to survive because of my characteristics and my abilities to see day fifty four.…
