  • Book Report On Hatchet By Gary Paulsen

    631 Words  | 3 Pages

    Hatchet is a book about survival written by Gary Paulsen with the experience he had before. Paulsen lived just as his character in Hatchet lived in the wilderness, also he tried making fire with a hatchet and rocks himself, and succeeded to write the book with such description and realty. This book is one of a kind, and has a very unique way of describing and writing. Also the character, Brian Robeson and the author, Gary Paulsen have a connection between their fourth dimensional personality (the author gave to Brian) that you cannot find easily anywhere. I highly recommend this book to any type of being that can read.
