Hatchet Vs. A Cry In The Wild Hatchet does a better job of telling the story. This is because the amount of time spent at the lake and has more details and shows that Brian can get hurt and isn’t superhuman. Hatchet has imagery like the roaring plane and others which aren't quite as good as the ones you see in the movie. The book’s foreshadowing isn't quite as good as the films either. After all this you would think the movie didn't care about anything but imagery and foreshadowing and not the…

Some people later have blamed the salary cap and coaches for the loss of an assumed 510 regular season games. In particular, the NHL salary cap is the sum of money any one team can spend on its players. The cap is set in stone for the year thus meaning there is no exceptions to the set amount. Some people think the salary cap should remain in place and control the league for…

(Merriam Webster, Learner’s Dictionary) In the book Hatchet, Brian acquired and showed willpower throughout the whole book, beginning to end, he was strong and determined through it all.

When I was young I was a boy scout. During my time in scouts I read the book Hatchet, a story about a boy who is in a plane crash and has to survive alone in the wilderness. Being a boy scout the story grabbed my attention, a boy about my age surviving alone using the same techniques I was learning. This gave the book a personal meaning to me. The book made me want to continue as a scout, as it gave meaning to what I was doing. The book kept me in scouts and that is why Hatchet is a memorable…
