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.
Three keys to surviving being lost in the wilderness are survival instincts, an axe, and scenes. In Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson used all three after he is the only survivor of a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness. Brian adapts and grows because of his struggle to survive. As a result of the events, he changes from distressed in the beginning, to lonesome yet egotistical in the middle, to floored in the end.
An important event in Hatchet was when Brian made a raft and went out to the plane to get the survival kit. Brain had seen the plane out at the lake after the tornado, and He wanted to go out there and see want was on the plane. He was thinking about it then he remembered that the survival kit was out there so he really wanted to go and get it, but something bad happened. When he got out there he was hitting the side of the plane (which was very easy), but he dropped his hatchet. But he got it, and opened the plane and had seen the dead pilot.
In the books Hatchet, Guts, and Island of the Blue Dolphins the characters all go through horrifying experiences. In Hatchet, a boy named Brian is forced to fly a plane after the pilot dies of a heart attack. In Island of the Blue Dolphins, a girl named Karana and her brother were left behind by their clan. In Guts, a man named Gary Paulsen answers emergency ambulance calls and witnesses many deaths from people. To begin with in Hatchet, Brian Robeson pilot dies of a heart attack when on his way to his father’s home in Canada.
In my opinion Hatchet explains the story better using imagery and foreshadowing. For example when Brian was eating the raspberries he told us that they were tangy, sweet, juicy, and ripe which helped me almost be able to taste the berries. When Brian from, “A Cry In The Wild”ate the fish he just talked to himself I couldn’t paint a picture in my head or even almost taste it, it really didn’t describe the fish or use imagery. When Brian in hatchet ate the fish he told us it was greasy,flaky smelled good,and tasted so good. I could almost smell and taste the fish this is where he used imagery again.
He has changed in the same way as the rest of his club. He started out as an innocent, intelligent, trustable kid and turned evil and wicked, not thinking for anyone other than himself, trying to beat his first best, with everyone else in the club doing the same. His relationship with Cheryl also changed. They started dating, but near the end of the book, weren’t really sure where their relationship was at that point. How the principal and his parents thought of him also changed.
