Book Report On Hatchet

He learned anger and blaming oneself doesn't help anything to be better. Also, he got the ability to think deep and thanking attitude to foods. Unfortunately, the end was so sudden. That's one of my hateful ending-immediate end. That was a miss point of the book. Anyway, in general, I could think of my behavior to emergency with contrasting Brian with

Brian will have to make serious choices in order to survive this frantic turning point in “Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen.

After capture, forced into working and starved nearly to death at camps they found themselves in an even more difficult situation.

(p302)Louie also showed this determination when he tried to keep his crew's mental state in check, he told them of his mother's food: “So began a thrice-daily ritual on the raft, with pumpkin pie and spaghetti being the favorite subjects. “(p153).

He grabbed its wall and lifted himself clear of the shark “.(p162) This shows Louie, weak physically, was able to withstand what seemed almost
