    `Hatchet I think that the Hatchet book is more detailed than the movie A Cry In The Wild, because I can imagine things happening in my head and because I can understand what is happening.

    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.
