Have you ever gone through a life-changing situation from your birthday being ruined to being stranded on an island with no food? Well the people I’m about to tell you about have! In the stories Hatchet, Dragon Wings and Eleven, Brian, Moon Shadow, and Rachel all face life-changing experiences that had direct impact on their lives. In this essay, I will explain how Brian, Moon Shadow, and Rachel faced life-changing situations with quotes from the stories and analyses. Brian faced loneliness and hunger when he was stranded on a deserted island.On page seven Brian states, “I wish you were here, Perpich."
