Compare And Contrast Hatchet And A Cry In The Wild

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. It was so bad that it was good, then bad again. But compared to the book? Well…

The reason I think Hatchet does a better job telling the story is because it tells all of the good details and juicy delicious tails. But on the other hand, A Cry in The Wind it just tells some parts. For example, it really didn’t tell you about his mom having an affair with the man in the station wagon. But in Hatchet it tells you all about the affair. This is why I picked Hatchet as the book that does a better job telling the story to me.

Hatchet did the best job at telling the story, because the book gives us better details such as foreshadowing and imagery. I feel that the book Hatchet displays foreshadowing and imagery because Brain gets to fly the plane, letting us know that he will need to fly the plane later in the story. Also during the plane crash he has a difficult time getting out of the plane in the water than in the movie “A Cry in The Wild.”Although the movie had Brian not injured, In Hatchet it had him injured which made it harder to move around. Hatchet also shows us imagery. When Brian imagines being at the place when the “Secret” happened. It gave us details about the place he was in and it also told us how Brian felt about it.Even though the book had teased

Hatchet does a better job of telling the story.Hatchet has very descriptive and exciting words.Even though ‘A cry in the wild is a movie’, I think it could explain the movie better.Like have a more exciting,get you off the edge of the seat, kind of movie.For example,in the book i feel like the scences were shorter.I was a little disappionted.I think that the bear scene could be longer.Also the tornado wasn’t that big .I mean yeah it destoryed his shelter but it could have been more disturitve.Maybe it could have hurt Brian.That’s why I think Hatchet is better than the

Brian in Hatchet survives a plane crash and landed in a Canadian Wilderness. He learned to survive on his own and find shelter. He was starting to give up but then he remembered the hatchet his mom gave him. The hatchet made Brian feel happy and strong again and he was able to hunt and made connections with his old English Teacher. (Hatchet p.7) He said that all he wanted

If people give up all the time individuals will never get far in life or become successful, but if people try their best until people get better or at least try, people are less likely to fail. To begin, in the realistic fiction novel, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, there is a kid named Brian Robeson whose parents are divorced. So he gets on a plane to go see his dad, but usually stays mainly with his mom. When he goes on the plane for the first time since the divorce his plane crashes in the middle of a forest. Brian has to learn how to survive in the wilderness and hope he gets saved. The novel has two themes displayed through the novel. One theme is to never give up. Another theme is when an individual is scared to do something they can overcome

To begin with in Hatchet, Brian Robeson pilot dies of a heart attack when on his way to his father’s home in Canada. Now Brian is forced to fly the plane and crashes in some lake then swims and saves himself. He may not be picked up that day or any day so it leaves brian alone to survive and live on his own. He is not prepared for anything like this and does not know how to survive in the wilderness. Which will change his life forever. I found that all in the text that he has crashed and has already been the first day of the crash. It also says that he does not now how to get any food which means he is inexperienced.

In my opinion, Hatchet does a better job explaining the story way more effectively than the movie “A Cry In The Wild”. Now, I do have some reasoning behind my opinion. What you thought I was going to explain?! To begin with, there are some phenomenal imagery, details, and foreshadowing in the book rather than in the movie. For example, the book shows what Brian is seeing and reacting during the pilot’s heart attack. This is an example of imagery. Rather in the movie, Brian hardly even reacts during this event in the beginning of the story. Yes Brian tries to help, but that’s basiclly it. Also, the author explains what Brian is thinking, feeling, and interacting during the ride. For example, when Brian’s mom gave Brian a hatchet, the author

The main character is introduced while on his way to an airport where he will take a flight to go visit his father for the summer. The first insight into Brian’s personality is his abhorrent thoughts toward his mother: “Divorce. It was an ugly word, he thought. A tearing, ugly word that meant fights and yelling, lawyers…” (Paulsen 3). In Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, a thirteen year old boy’s parents have recently had a divorce, leaving the young boy devastated. Throughout this novel, Brian’s characterization and character development are used to convey theme.

“Hatchet” does a better job of telling the story, than “A cry in the wilds” . I believe this because it show’s more imagery and a better understanding of foreshadowing, rather than just showing us a picture. For example, imagery in the book, Brian described the kiss of his mother and the secret kissing. According to the text, the book showed imagery by saying , “he widened the hole with his finger and looked inside. Just an egg. It had a dark yellow yolk and not so much to bite as he thought there would be. Just an egg. Food. Just an egg he had to eat. Raw. For another example, the book also foreshadowed, “and he kicked out as hard as he could, and threw the hatchet at the sound, a noise coming from his throat. But the hatchet missed, sailed

First, Brian uses good survival strategies by using trial and error. He used this strategy well. For example, he started steering the plane up and down to keep it steady. He used trial and error by doing it over and over again until he did it correctly. Another way he used trial and error was, he kept missing the fish. He kept missing the fish because he didn't realize that water refracts. After he realized he was not going crazy and the fish weren't going that fast. He also used trial and error because he almost went blind. Brian almost went blind when he made his own bow and arrow. He learns he is doing it wrong and decided to fix it. Now that we know about trial and error, let's go and see how Brian uses his hatchet to survive.

I believe that the film “A Cry in the Wild” does a better job than the book Hatchet. I believe this because the film is more descriptive than the book because it shows when Brian is sticking a tree branch in a bear. In the book it says that the bear just roars at Brian. Another example is in the film, Brian eats maggots and worms, in the book he eats fish and eggs from turtles. Once in the movie, a bear comes after him. To me that is a little more descriptive than saying the bear roared at him. That is why I think “A Cry in the Wild” is better than the book Hatchet the book.

I think that this book is totally fantastic. At first, I was curious why the title of the book is “Hatchet”, because I have never seen books with this kind of titles before. Later on, while reading the story, I have realized that the hatchet was Brian’s only tool that helped him to survive. The whole story made me feel thrilled from the first page to the last one, and I could learn a lot of useful things from this book.

Do you have your own hatchet? I don 't have my own hatchet. But Brian Robeson have his own hatchet. Hatchet by gary Paulsen was fist published in 1987. Fist, I see this book 's cover. But I can 't expect this book 's summary. Gary Paulsen is this book 's author. Gary Paulsen is a popular author. He writes many books and he got many books and He got many prizes. So I expected this book.

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. Also when Brian from the movie ate the gut cherries he just spit them out instead of giving more description and imagery. Again when Brian in the story
