This is a very cool survival book about a kid named that crashes into the Canadian swamp and survives for multiple months.
FROM A SCALE FROM ONE TO TEN I GIVE IT A NEGATIVE 50 AND I LOVE TO READ
This book is about a boy who is flying on a plane and the pilot passes out in the middle of diving the plane.Well he had to crash the plane somewhere where it is not deserted and lost cotrol. The net thing you know he is in the cold all alone with no one who cares.
its full of action and fun
The story"Hatchet" is very interesting about a little thirteen boy went on an adventure in the forest. He went on a plane which he is the only passenger toward fields of Canada. And when the plane crashed he only got a hatchet with him, so then he started his survived adventure in the forest. During the time in forest he learned a lot of things like how to make a fire camp, fishing spear from the tree's branch, and cook many gross stuffs. But after all he got rescue by the another plane that flew toward Canada.
This story "Hatchet" is very interesting.This story is about a young man that was been left along in a plane accident in Canada.The plane driver have an heart attack and he doesn't know how to drive a plane so it just falls down but the young man didn't die.He was safely at the ground , but he doesn't have any food to eat so he have to learn about thing that is going to help him survive in the wild.The only thing that he did have is an hatchet which is an axe to help him and it is why the story is called hatchet.
Hatchet is an adventure story about desperate struggles for survival, however, it is also about discovering the hidden strengths in oneself. It was certainly an intense, fast, and exciting read. The novel is a coming of age story of a boy called Brian who must confront both physical and psychological challenges in order to grow and discover himself. He was forced to survive in the woods of Canada where he becomes a whole new person. Brian greatly changed in the way he views nature, he became much more sensitive towards others, and he treats the world around him differently. He will be forced to take measures that he would never even have imagined if he wants to live while coping with the growing fear that he will never be rescued. When reading this book, the author’s combination of third-person narrative with Brian's feelings and thoughts pulled me into the story. Along the way, I discovered themes of hope, perseverance, and self-realization in both Brian and myself. Brian’s experience helped me understand a completely different perspective on life. This novel had cleansed my soul and opened my eyes to the world. As a wise man once said, “Tough times bring out the best in people.”
i like the infomaton you provided, it makes me want ot read the book in the future.
I really like Hatchet because it’s packed with action and never seems to get boring. This kid is stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash and he has to survive with only a hatchet his mother gave him. I really liked the part where Brian, the main character, had to build his own shelter and hunt for his own food and adapt to the wilderness by himself. The story is very immersive because the author uses a lot of descriptive phrases to make the reader feel like he/she is actually there, it makes up a lot of what I like about Hatchet. However, I think that the book is just a little unrealistic because of how Brian quickly adapts to the wild. Hatchet also taught me a lesson that I really appreciated, and that is to never give up. For example when Brian feels hopeless and thinks that he will never get out of his situation, he still continues to try and survive, regardless of how he might have felt. I think this really affected the story because right after he refuses to give up, something good happens to him (not going to spoil it). So yes I love this action packed book :) (4/5 stars)
