Compare And Contrast Hatchet And Island Of The Blue Dolphins

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 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.

The point of view of the hatchet is 3rd omniscient point of view. Brian is described in words as he and also gives his thoughts. And you can tell the author calls brian he and him “It’s something to understand he thought,...”. The author clearly states “he thought” in that segment of a sentence showing how he feels .

Have you ever been stuck in the wilderness? Brian Robeson, a 13 year old was for 54 days. What kept him alive? Well, Brian used plenty of things. He used his hatchet, and most importantly, his survival strategies.

I think Hatchet tells the story better. Because it gave more details for example ,when Brian found blueberries you can could imagine him crushing, them with his teeth and swallowing the sweet juice. In A Cry In A Wild he just eats them. And when Brian had a dream of his dad and Terry of fire that was great foreshadowing. In A Cry In The Wild there was no dream not even a Terry.

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.

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.

Brian had changed to a city boy to a survival Brian he seen his life as. When he was very hungry he had to eat things he didn’t want to like bugs and many different other things he hasn’t eaten in his life before. When Brian had went out into the water with his hatchet he had seen the plane. So then he took his hatchet and hit on the side of the plane. Then, his hatchet drop into the

“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.

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.

Hatchet In this book, a thirteen year old boy named Brian Robenson is going to his dad’s house, when out of nowhere, the pilot had a heart attack and died. Brian now has to figure out how to run the plane until the gas runs out, and he crashes. Now, brian is trying to survive by finding food and water. While going through many difficulties.

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. Second, Brian uses good survival strategies by using his hatchet. He used this strategy well by using it to get to the survival pack.

Gary Paulsen’s novel, “Hatchet” introduces us to the protagonist, Brian, a young boy facing an amazing challenge. Brian’s character evolves over the course of the novel from an overwhelmed little boy to becoming a mature man. At the beginning of the novel, the best word to describe Brian’s personality or character is panicked. For example When the pilot of the plane has a heart attack and dies, Brian experiences “a terror so intense that his breathing, his thinking, and nearly his heart had stopped” (Passage A).

But he lives well with only hatchet. And after 54 days, He meet a man and go home. I think

I think that Hatchet does a better job of telling the story. 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.
