In the novel Hatchet, written by Gary Paulsen, the main character Brian is flying to his dad’s house and suddenly the pilot has a heart attack. Brian didn’t know how to fly the plane or didn’t know where he was going, but the plane crashed. Brian was stranded in the middle of nowhere.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines grit as; “firmness of mind or spirit: unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger.” (1) Throughout the whole story of Gary Pulse’s book, “Hatchet”, Brian Roberson, the main character shows grit when his life is transformed in an adventure where he always demonstrates determination, he is up to challenge, never gives up even when things go wrong. Brian constantly approaches every problem he faces with thoughtful mind and remaining in calm. After being stranded in the wilderness of Canadian Woods, Brian needs to fight for his survival, at the beginning; it started as a result of his instincts but as the story evolves he realizes the possibilities of him being rescued decrease each passing day: “…Not hope that he would be rescued-that was gone.

The first aha moment was when he found out a way to start a fire. “... Fire. The hatchet was the key to it all. When he threw the hatchet at the porcupine in the cave and missed and hit the stone wall it had showered sparks, a golden shower of sparks in the dark, as golden with fire as the sun was now. The hatchet was the answer.” This aha moment was important because when he threw the hatchet it made sparks. With the sparks he can make a fire to get warmth. This would also help him out with cooking so he doesn’t get sick from an uncooked meal. Also once he made the fire it also solved the problem with the bugs.

The African-American male cashier named Roger had never spoken any form of; Hello, How are you, or even asking if I found everything okay. The only thing he said to me by Roger was the total amount due. From what I could tell his attention was more focused on a conversation he was having with another person. I had also asked for a receipt when I was swiping my card and that request was ignored and had to ask him again after he went to start to ring the next guest items. After I had requested a second time for my receipt, he just had it printed out and then started with the next guest without handing it to me. I had to grab the receipt off of the printer myself. I had proceeded to go to the pick up for food and beverages was to wait for my drink.

College athletes should be being paid for the work they do. First, being an athlete takes up all of that person’s day, combining it with being a full-time student as well as all of the athlete's days are taken up either going to class or going to practice. When an athlete has this sort of schedule it is hard to find them a job to work at to pay for college. College athletes do have scholarships, but “A full Division 1 scholarship is $25,000 per year.” (Huffingtonpost) is not enough when you add in all students needs like housing, food, clothing, entertainment, books, and the fees for just being in a class. The scholarship money suddenly disappears. When athletes are under this timeline they can not work so they need to earn money somehow, mom and dad are not always there to help you out.

According to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary and thesaurus, a definition for the word “epiphany” is a revealing scene or moment. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 can easily be summarized as a man having multiple epiphanies about his life, society, the government, the importance of intellectual literature, and human nature. During the events of the book, a Fireman named Guy Montag (here I must make note of how firemen are now professional arsonists) is walking home from work when he meets a young girl, setting off a chain of epiphanies and permanently removing most of the effects the corrupt society has had on him.

Our keys take pleasure in putting humans in embarrassing situations. They derive a certain degree of joy from it. They enjoy seeing us walk out of a room with just a towel wrapped around us and not being in our hands but, instead, lying between the warm covers.
