Hatchet

 

 

            The story Hatchet was about a boy, who is flying in a plane, over a forest, when the plane crashes and leaves him stranded. The main characters in this story are Brian Robison. The main character Brian tries to find shelter and food. He soon finds that there is a medical pack in the tail of the plane and tries to get it. The adventure he had was being alone in a forest. My favorite character was Brian because he was the only character, he was also very brave. The point the author is trying to make is don’t give up.

 

            When I was little I was very scared of the dark. I used to be really freaked opt and I thought a kidnapper would come and get me. I used to run to the bathroom and run back to my bed, I also remember jumping on to the bed just in case there was something or someone under there. Usually I would go over to my friends’ house and watch a scary movie. Then I would be freaked out.

 

            I really liked this book. My favorite part was when he had to search for food and shelter. My least favorite part was the plane ride and the crash. If I could change something in this book it would be for him to explore and not stay in one place. Also  not crash in a lake with the plane.

 

            I would definitely recommend this book to another person. It also has a sequel. The author is good and whoever liked this book should read his others.I think a person who likes adventure would enjoy this book.
