Hatchet, the book, did a better job at telling the story than “A Cry in the Wild”. In my opinion, Hatchet did a better job at telling the story because it gives you more details. In Hatchet they use a lot of imagery. You can actually imagine what they are talking about without actually seeing it. In both, Hatchet and “A Cry in the Wild” they use foreshadowing.

In my opinion think Hatchet does a better job of telling the story than A cry in the wild. I believe this because the narrator gives more details when he describe when Brian got into the plane. 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.

I’ve always loved movies, but I’m not much of a book reader. Despite this, I read Hatchet for and it was... okay. It wasn’t the best but it was enjoyable to some extent. The movie, A Cry in the Wild, though was so cringe worthy that my distant, soon to be wife, or husband, cringed even though she, or he, probably didn’t see it.

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.

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.

The themes in both Hatchet and Castaway was similar. The two themes that would be discussed in relation to Hatchet and Castaway are; perseverance and family. At the start of both texts, the main characters Brian and Chuck weren’t sure of exactly where they landed and just hoped that a rescue plane or a boat will come near to help. Brian decides to keep him alive until the rescue plane comes. Although Perpich wasn’t one of his family members he persevered Brian to always think positive and stay on top of things.
