I believe that hatchet does a better job of telling the story. I believe this because the book is more specific. For example in the book on page 75 it said that he through the hatchet at the wall and a shower of sparks rained down. Another example is in the book on page 141 it said that Brian was attacked by a moose in the movie he was attacked by a bear. One more example is that in the book on page 113 it said that the plain crashed by a L shaped lake in the movie he crashed by a o shaped lake. That is how I think that the movie hatchet is more specific than the movie a cry in the wild.

`Hatchet I think that the Hatchet book is more detailed than the movie A Cry In The Wild, because I can imagine things happening in my head and because I can understand what is happening. An example is when the plane crashed into the l-shaped lake. I can image that the engine broke down and then the plane fell like a roller coaster going down and landed in a lake with a big splash or boom. I can also imagine the porcupine coming into the shelter where Brian was sleeping and Brian trying to fight it off, then the quills getting shot into his leg.

The narrator said Brian needed to build a raft. For example,the narrator said “ Brian build a raft “on page 159. In the movie it didn’t really show Brian building the raft.

The literary techniques that are used in “Hatchet” are parallelism, personification, and anomotopea. Gary Polsen uses parallelism to describe an emotion the character is feeling by repeating one word over and over again. One example of parallelism is in section three of chapter 13, which states “Turn, smell, listen, feel, and then a sound, a small sound”. The second example is in section 15 in chapter 17, which says “He took out the wing and tail feathers, which were stiff and long and pretty-banded speckled in browns and grays and light reds.” The third and final example of parallelism is in chapter 19, which says “Out one at a time to examine them, turn the in the light, touch them and feel them with his hands and eyes”.
