Hatchet
He book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is a very interesting and adventurous story. It is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian Robeson. He was in a plane crash Brian soon found himself on a survival mission in the Canadian wilderness. He had just gone though a divorce of his parents and was very unhappy and upset. His dad moved to Canada for a new job. About half way through the trip the pilot died from a heart attack and died which left Brian alone to fly and land the plane.His first major achievement was making fire and it was his most important. Brian also figures out how to catch food and cook it....
Hatchet
In the book Hatchet, Brian, the main character gets on a plane after he finds out the big secret about his mom during the school year and the beginning of the summer to go and vistit his dad. On the way to Canada where his dad lives his pilot teaches him how to fly. He ends up having to know how to do this cause something happens to the pilot and he has to fly the plain. He then lands in the middle of no where and has to live on his own. He learns how to find food and live. This is a good book until the end because it is very descriptive. I dont like the end because it is way to short and it didnt explain enough.
Hatchet
As you open the cover of this book you get enthralled to the point where you cannot stop reading. The story starts out slow. After reading a chapter you may want to stop. It may seem like the story is going nowhere and isn't very interesting. You shouldn't stop reading. By the second or third chapter you will be totally enthralled, and be glad that you didn't stop reading.This story begins as Brian is flying over the Canadian wilderness on his way to see his father. When the single engine Cessna suddenly crashes, it leaves him stranded in the forest. Brian has to adapt to his new conditions. He is forced to learn how to survive with little supplies and experience. All Brian has are the cloths on his back, a hatchet his mother gave him, and any supplies he could recover from the wrecked plane.Brian Robeson is the main, and almost only, character in this book. He is thirteen years old. Brian is dealing with his parent's break-up. He is the kind of person who keeps things inside, thinking about their divorce all the time.The author of Hatchet, Gary Paulsen, uses many descriptive words in his writing. When reading his book you can imagine yourself in the book seeing and talking to the characters. By describing every little intricate detail one feels like they are actually in the story. As you read more of the book the deeper you sink into the heart-stopping suspense. The only criticism I would give to this story would be that there wasn't always action going on. It was a little repetitive at times, when the author was talking about every day life. Overall this book was great and I would recommend it to anyone.
Hatchet
The book Hatchet was a reaaly great book. When readding this book I became a book worm. It was really weird because I hate reading books. This book really made me appreciate reading a little bit more. This book also made me read the sequels, Brians Winter and Down River. they were just as good as Hatchet. There is a secrete, read all three books and you will be satisfied.The author, Gary Paulson, did a great job detailing what Brian (the main character) was thinking and what he did to survive the Canadian wilderness. He did a great job on all three books and having one book really lead to another.As flying over the canaidian wilderness Brian looks down and all he sees are trees. He begins to think of his father and his mother. His parents were divorced and he was flying to see his father in canada. The pilot of this little bushle plan looked over and he had a heart attack. Brian took control of the plan and flew it into a lake. He survives but the real survival is stearing him right in his face- the canadian wilderness. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventure books and is not affraid of reading this book all night long.
Hatchet
When I first read the book "The Hatchet", I thought it was a great story, so much that I read it twice. This is not a normal occurrence; in fact, I hate to read, but the story of Brian and how he survived was such a great story. To this day it is still one of my favorite books.I first read the book in fourth grade, which was about eight or nine years ago, and it still sticks with me today as one of my favorite books. Yes, it is meant mainly for a younger audience, probably a great book for someone in junior high, but it can be a fun book to be read by all that like a good story of adventure.The reason that I think this was such a good book was probably because I'm a nature freak. I love being in the wilderness and I think every little boy in America at one time imagined being lost in the forest and surviving on nothing but their wits. I heard some other people comment on how they think this is an overdone story, and someone actually compared to the movie Cast Away. Both stories have similar plots, but what makes this story different is that Brian, the protagonist of the story, is no more than thirteen years old, and his plane crashes into the wilderness. The poor boy has to endure the punishment his body took from the plane crash, nurse himself back to health, and then survive with nothing more than a hatchet. I thought it was a great story, and most people that I know who read it all had great things to say about it.Also, Gary Paulsen has written quite a few books with the same kind of wilderness setting, so if you liked The Hatchet then you will like his other books too. He also wrote a sequel, which wasn't quite as good, but if you liked "The Hatchet", then it's worth reading.
