The book I read is “Brian’s Winter” by Gary Paulsen. “Brian’s Winter” is a novel about a young 13 year old boy who crash landed a plane in Canada. The author, Gary Paulsen, is writing about what would of happened if Brian was not saved in the novel “Hatchet”. Brian needed to survive the Winter alone in the wild, but he didn’t really know how. In the beginning of the novel, Brian was attacked by a bear. Around a week later he was attacked by a bear again, but this time it was because he had meat in his shelter and Brian was luckily saved by a skunk, which he named Betty and kept as a pet for a while. Brian started to lose hope because it was getting extremely cold and it was getting harder for him to survive. After a while Brian saw wolves killing a moose. He didn’t encounter the wolves in fear that he would be attacked. Brian had a lot of food, enough for 3 months so Brian started to get more confident in surviving. One night Brian thought he heard a gunshot so he started to yell for help, but he realized the gun was shot very far away. A few days later he followed animal tracks and …show more content…

For example, Brian and I are both 13 years old. Another similarity is we are both boys. One difference is he is very brave and isn’t afraid when he is around bears or wolves that are vicious, even though he has watched them kill something. Brian stays calm in a situation like that and does not panic, instead he slowly moves further away from them to make sure he is safe. If I was in the same situation that Brian was in, which is being in the wild for several months and having to find his own food and water, I would not of survived a day. The first thing Brian did is he found food and water, but the first thing I would of done is panicked and ran around the forest searching for help. After a while I would of been very exhausted and had no source of water so I would of been dehydrated. I would not of lasted the Winter like Brian
