Have you been in the wilderness by yourself, but only yourself with no family or friends? Would you do this are you up for the challenge? This question comes from the book we just finished Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. The main character Brian Robeson is a survivor of a plane crash and he got stuck in the wilderness by himself for 54 days alone. Overall throughout those horrible events Brian has changed and has became a better and stronger and braver person. At first he was a scared little boy but throughout the book he has changed and that's what I will be talking about today. Have you ever flown in the co-pilot's seat before? Part of the plane, not human. When he saw Brian look at him, the pilot seemed to open up a bit and smiled. “Ever fly in the copilots seat before?” (Chapter 1-2). I think he has changed because now he has flown in the co-pilot’s seat. He also watched the pilot control the plane now he knows how to fly the plane by himself. So if he knows how to fly the plane by himself this helped him survive a little bit until the plane ran out of fuel and crashed. …show more content…
He looked at the pilot, and the plane, and down at himself- dirty and ragged, burned and leaned and tough- and he coughed to clear his throat, “My name is Brian Robenson.” he said. Then he saw that his stew was done, the peach whip almost done, and he waved to it with his hand. “Would you like something to eat?” I think he changed because even though he got rescued he wanted to stay out in the wilderness. He wanted to stay out in the wilderness because he has change a lot he is tougher and braver and he began to know a lot about the wilderness. He has also become more independent and has done everything alone so he don't need help with anything anymore he has become a strong independent 13 year
His parents weren’t against him traveling on his own either. Not only does he have experience but education. Education can help you learn about nature, the body, how things work, etc. The further you go to school after high school, the more you learn. Even though transcendentalism was about living off experience but having background knowledge about your body or how life works is a bonus for going off into the wild by yourself.
My character, Richard Perry, changed throughout this book from the beginning to end exceptionally. In the starting point of the book, Richard joined the war in Vietnam because his depressed mother couldn’t afford for him to go to college. While he was stationed in Vietnam, Richard met another soldier named Peewee, he was from Chicago and seemed very daring and determined.
Into the Wild What would the majority of the population do if the opportunity came up to go into the wild? Chris McCandless not telling anyone where he was going and without necessary supplies was stupid for going into the Alaskan wild. Chris McCandless did not want anyone to know where he was going. The narrator stated, “He announced at his graduation party that he was going away for a while but didn’t say where he was going” (20/20 Documentary). Chris McCandless stated he was going away for a while, however he didn’t tell his parents or his sister where he was going to be or how long he will be gone.
In “Foul Trouble” by John Feinstein, the characters slackness and careless qualities contribute to the speaker's message that, he is a trouble maker, and always getting in trouble. For example on page 127 it states that he doesn't like or care about his grades much cause Danny says to Terrell. ”Make sure to do your homework.” Terrell says, “ i don't feel like it” he replied.
I will be telling you about the book The Foxman by: Gary Paulsen. The book is about a fifteen year old boy who they never say his name. (Lets Just Say his name is James to make things easier). James lived in the big city and is sent away to live with his Uncle’s family in Northern Minnesota. James gets sent away because his parents drink like fish and do not want to change they’re ways.
He had heard before that was what you should do. But what he missed was that this is a different kind of bear so the bear attacks him and throws him through the air.

Have you ever been stuck in the wilderness alone? 13 year old Brian Robeson has. He was stuck in the Canadian Woods for 54 days. He had to use survival strategies like these to help him survive. He uses trial and error, his hatchet, and he thinks positively.

His goal was to live off the land and keep a journal of his physical and spiritual progress as he faced the Alaskan Wilderness and the forces of nature.

If you got lost and was forced to survive in the wilderness,would you survive?In the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen the main character Brian got in a plane crash and survive in the Canadian wilderness for 54 days. Throughout the book Brian became stronger mentally and physically as he tried to survive and faced many tragedies. While trying to survive Brian had to come up with good ideas and for that reason he had many aha moments. The two aha moments that I think where the most important was when he found out the hatchet could be used to make fire and when he found out that the water bends light and so he had to aim under the fish and not right on top of them. These helped him face this harsh reality he was having to live.
Taking a journey into an unknown state can cause many problems, but with no map or proper equipment, more problems arise. In the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, Chris wanted to escape reality/society but he went into the adventure blindsided and unprepared. He did many things and didn’t think of his family and friends back home. When Chris left his whole life behind, he did some questionable things that made him a reckless and arrogant person by not being prepared, throwing his life away, and made arrogant errors that caused his death that could have been prevented.

McCandless visions of his reality Distorted his views which lead to his failure.
The pilot shows Brian the plane 's rudder pedals and the steering controls, telling him that a "plane like this almost flies itself" Brian recovers his can-do attitude after a few days of self-petty and becomes even tougher than he was before. He constructs a bow and arrow, learns to fish, hunts birds and rabbits, and reinforces his shelter against the elements. He 's attacked by a skunk and, later, a moose. And as if eating raw turtle eggs and fighting off wild animals weren 't enough, Brian then
Brian got rescued and spent the rest of the summer with his dad. He went to the hospital first. His parents wanted to make sure he was alright. They treated any injuries he had left. The rest of the summer was okay.
At first, he thought he was seeing things. He saw something he had not seen in a long time…. A tail. He dove into the water with his spear. He felt his adrenaline and anger rise.
