  • Summary Of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet

    1728 Words  | 7 Pages

    Hatchet, and later on its five sequels, is one of the best known survival and wilderness books ever published, and is based somewhere in Northern Canada. It features Canadian Geography and wilderness as one of its main themes, and uses them both as a setting and a source of challenge for the main character. Gary Paulsen, the author, worked in Canadian wilderness for years before writing the book, and did a fantastic job at capturing just how bewildering and terrifying Canada can be while still being breathtakingly beautiful. The main character, Brian, becomes quite attached to this area where he’s stranded, and talks about how it changes him and his personality completely. It alters his view on life and the way he looks at himself as a person.
