Brian quickly made a fire using small pieces of bark that caught fire really fast. He now had warmth and a shelter, the only he needed was a steady food supply.
He came upon a river, a body of water that was new to him. Into a canoe he went being shipped off. He describes the raw emotions he felt being so young going through such terrifying events.

First, Hatchet takes place in the vast Canadian wilderness and is told in third person, because the narrator talks about what Brian is thinking and saying. The protagonist is Brian, since he is the only main character in the book and the event that pushes the story forward is the divorce of Brian’s parents.
Hatchet by Gary Paulson is a fiction novel about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian that survives a plane crash after the pilot dies of a heart attack and Brian is forced to land the plane himself, and in doing so, lands in a lake around the setting of a Canadian forest. Throughout the duration of the novel, Brian is to survive this dangerous situation with nothing except for a literal hatchet that was gifted to him by his mother prior to getting on the plane to go visit his father in the Canadian North Woods as his parents are newly separated after a recent divorce. Gary Paulsen was inspired to write Hatchet from his own life and personal experiences as both of his parents gave him a hard time growing up through their rocky marriage and unstable parenting as well as the fact that he grew up in the country and had to provide for himself. Hatchet also received a 1988 Newbery Honor award for its excellency. The fiction book is a piece of his life and it’s struggles as he wrote it to convey the following opinions: positivity can get you far no matter what the situation at hand may be, man can
When the pilot found him, the old Brian would have not been very patient to get on the plane and go home, but now he is kind and patient, because I think he realizes that the pilot has probably just saved his life, and he really owes the pilot. In chapter 19, the text says “He looked at the pilot and the plane, and down at himself - dirty and ragged, burned and lean and tough - and he coughed to clear his throat. ‘My name is Brian Robeson,’ he said. Then he saw that his stew was done, the peach whip almost done, and he waved to it with his hand. ‘Would you like something to eat?’” This quote really shows that he has grown as a person and has gained kindness and patience. Before this experience, he would’ve not said anything and just got on the plane and whined to go home. Now, he is inviting him to eat, showing that he is waiting, so he is more patient, and by offering the pilot something it shows that he is
The main character, Tom Tin, faces hardships and struggles many fourteen year olds do not have to face so early on. His father has mistakenly got himself into trouble and it is up to Tom to save his father and help make his family’s future bright again. Tom has good intentions throughout the novel, but he gets himself into trouble. He turns out to be an unlikely hero after pushing through his doubts and finally triumphing over his mistakes along his journey.
Just like in “Hatchet” a adventure story about a boy who is in a plane to visit hiss father when the plane crashes and he is left in the woods to survive on his own with nobody to help him by Gary Paulsen HIs plane crashes in the canadian north woods and every day he made a mistake and he never made the same mistake again because he learned from his mistakes and adapted. Just like the other characters will. Another story is “middle
From only pages of the book, Brian starts to learn. When the pilot offers him a quick ‘lesson’ of flying the Cessna plane, this saves his life when the pilot dies a horrific heat attack in his seat. This causes Brian to panic, but he safely crash lands inside a lake.
“ I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.” To be able to survive you need to have the ability to be the best you can be and adjust to the things around you. I believe that brian changed. He grew from his mistakes he made and things that he did right. He was a new person after his journey and took the traits he had gained and put them into reality. I believe that patience, perseverance and confidence are significant traits to obtain. There are many crucial traits to survival that stick with you forever.

Brian is a thirteen year old boy who was in a plane crash. Although he did survive, he needs some supplies to help him live. If Brian found a survival bag, there would be ten items in it. First, the most important one, a Lifestraw water filter and a canteen to put the water in it. Brian had already tried to drink the water from the lake but got sick because it wasn't clean, therefore, with the water filter he can drink the water. The second item would be a Snow peak tent (one man tent) so he can sleep in it without worrying that something will come in the tent because it will be sealed shut and a sleeping bag to prevent him from being cold. Thirdly, he would need Off bug spray because in the book, he gets bitten by many bugs in his shelter.
