Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is a novel about a 13 year old boy named Brian Robeson, who crashes in a small bush plane in remote canadian wilderness and the journey of survival he had to overcome against nature and wildlife.This novel proves how hard times can better a person that overcomes those times.

First and foremost, the story “Hatchet” has a significant turning point. Brian was flying in a plane to meet his father in the oil fields of Northern Canada when the pilot had a heart attack. Because the pilot had a heart attack, Brian was forced to crash land the plane. Then Brian landed in the wilderness and has to survive with a 2 dimes, a quarter, 2 pennies, a nickel, a hatchet his mother gave him, and himself. Brian will have to make serious choices in order to survive this frantic turning point in “Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen.

Brian’s Hunt is an award-winning novel, and part of the Hatchet series by Gary Paulsen. Brian’s Hunt is a fictional wilderness adventure story that gives a good depiction of what it would be like to live in the Canadian wilderness. This is a story that follows others in the Hatchet series that begins with Brian going back into the wilderness, once again, except this time he is more prepared with supplies and food, he was where he wanted to be. While in the wilderness, he finds an injured dog wandering around, but he finds it weird that it was trained. He ventured on and found that a Native American village was attacked by a bear.

The reason being that besides the pilot other characters only appear in flashbacks or dreams, this translates into me not being able to provide a description of other characters that are in the book. That being said, the other significant characters are Terry, Brian’s dad and mom (names unknown), the pilot (his name being Jim or Jake), and Mr. Perpich. Supporting characters are “The man with short blond hair” and Uncle Carter. Brian has the main role in Hatchet, starring in every single page. Brian doesn´t have much special about him, he is just an ordinary smart 13-year-old, but not the kind of smart that finishes top of his class. The kind of smart that analyzes his situation and figures out what plan to execute. This helps him withstand the wilderness until a plane flies overhead his shelter and saves Brian. In the journey to the rescue, Brian demonstrates that he is a dynamic personality, showcasing his conversion from frustration and anger at the start of the book to observation and patience. This not only helps him in the wild but plays a part in the city too. This change in his personality couldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the pilot, as he indirectly caused the descent into the wilderness. This is the role he played, I can´t provide a description of the pilot as I can´t anyone else, for reasons stated above. Brian acquired the hatchet from his mother on the ride to the plane, this hatchet proves to be very effective in helping Brian survive, as the hatchet played a big role in making his tools for catching food, how he cut wood to make the wall for his shelter, and ultimately the tool that allowed him to form fire. The mother was also responsible for why Brian´s parents issued a divorce. This causes Brian to have a conflict with himself during his time in the wilderness. On the other side of the divorce, there’s Brian’s dad, who didn’t want the

This book is about survival skills, adaptation, resourcefulness, and quick thinking. “None of that used to be in Brian and now it was a part of him, a changed part of him, a grown part of him, and the two things, his mind and his body, had come together as well, had made a connection with each other that he didn’t quite understand”,(ch. 11,pg.100). A fews days into isolation, Brian notices a change in himself, he perceives the world different and it contributes to his survival. The common theme is initiation to manhood. Initiation to manhood is connected to the article because the boys in the DMC learn to do things they didn’t dp before. This is revealed by the author when he includes that Dr.Teng Smith said,” These men are teaching them how to be men”,(para.4). This is easier to conclude in the article than in the book.

He has gone through things no other “man” has gone through. This is revealed by the author when Brian learns to catch fish without

But then Brian looks over to the pilot and he is having a heart attack. The pilot dies and Brian has to fly the plane, but he ends up crashing. So Brian has to survive in the wild all by himself. I think that the theme of the “Hatchet” is, You think you are weak, but you are more capable than you think.
