Brian had to face many difficult tasks and hardships in the wilderness and he had to learn to adapt in order to survive in the wild. Although this time he was more prepared than the first time he was stranded by himself in the Canadian wilderness. Another one of Brian’s character traits is that he is determined. Brian Robeson is someone that is determined to do whatever they need to survive. In the book it explains how he had to fight against many things such as deers, moose, bears and other animals. He also was determined to stay alive by teaching himself how to hunt and survive the bitter cold that nature through at him. Another example from the book was that Brian wanted to do whatever it took to get back into the wild and reunite with the part of him that he

The first adversity that Brian had to face was flying the plane when the pilot died. Brian overcame this adversity by remaining calm and remembering what the pilot had taught him about flying the plane. He also had to make up a landing plan for where and how he would land the plane. He wanted to land the plane on a lake.

In chapter 11, we really see a vulnerable moment for Brian. The text states, “But it was a mental thing. He had gotten depressed thinking about how they hadn’t found him yet, and when he was busy and had something to do the depression seemed to leave.” This quote shows a weak point in Brian’s emotional state. It states the point during his time alone in the wilderness, when Brian was broken and hopeless. This quote really shows the downfall of his emotions because he hears the plane engine and he thinks oh they’re here for me. When Brian is left alone in his “camp” it really breaks Brian. Brian was so positive thinking that his days alone in Canadian wilderness were over however when he isn’t rescued , the text really conveys the fact that Brian is upset and emotionally tired. Basically throughout the beginning of the novel, Brian depended on everyone else, specially the rescue

Brian is a particularly charismatic individual. While he depicts vulnerability, frustration, and impatience at the introduction of the novel, his struggle and wisdom in the north woods of Canada revamp his attitude and mindset permanently. Brian had to figure out how to survive on a daily basis, learn quickly and acquire essential survival goods. He had to face new challenges every day such as fishing, making fire and protection.

In Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen, the pessimistic main character, Brian is in extreme isolation and experiences a horrible conflict. While Brian has to adapt from being his comfortable self in the city to a vulnerable life in the canadian wilderness. Brian experiences with separations is both indifference and enhancing ways. The plot brightens up by the author's main purpose, change. This essay will analyse Brian’s character, internal conflict, and the aspect of the setting.

He uses the shelter to protect him from the rain and some animals. After he builds the shelter, Brian uses his hatchet to make spears and arrows. He takes branches and sharpens the tip of them to make arrows and spears. "He had worked on the fish spear until it had become more then just a tool. He shoots the arrows at birds and throws the spears at fish. "I know about fire; I know I need fire." Brian says this the second night he's there. Brian needs a fire because he needs it for heat, to cook food and to keep animals away. Brian makes the fire with his hatchet and a rock. First, he figures out that he needs some paper so he takes his 20-dollar bill and tries to burn it. Unfortunately, the bill just burns right out and leaves him with no fire. After that, he takes his hatchet and cuts small pieces of bark. Then he piles them up under twigs. Then he takes his hatchet and hits a rock with a great blow and sparks catch the bark on fire. He hits another blow and the sparks catch the twigs on fire. Therefore, he has a fire. This process shows that whatever Brian sets his mind to he can do it. About two months later Brian went to the bottom of the lake to see if there was anything useful in the plane. He brought up a survival package. There were many useful things in there like bandages and matches. Couple months later, just before winter was going to hit a man shows up in a plane. The guy in the plane was the man Brian had talked

Brian’s Return is about a man named Brian, he volunteered to go on a camping

is full of interest unlike other survival novels like Robinson Crueso. I was impressed by Brian's inner growth as he struggles to survive in the wilderness. He learned anger and blaming oneself doesn't help anything to be better. Also, he got the ability to think deep and thanking attitude to foods. Unfortunately, the end was so sudden. That's one of my hateful ending-immediate end. That was a miss point of the book. Anyway, in general, I could think of my behavior to emergency with contrasting Brian with

But in the end Brian is shown he is not the strongest, fastest, and smartest predator in the wild. He is shown this when a moose comes by and nearly kills Brian and he is left defenceless on the ground. And right after Brian is nearly killed a tornado comes and scatters his tools, puts out his fire, and destroys his home. Brian is shown that He is not on top of the foodchain.

Brian couldn't survive without food so he had to go hunting he made a small bow and arrow. With sticks and string from the survival pack and sharpened rocks to make the arrow heads and he would kill small birds and rabbits. But that bow wasn't getting the food that he needed cause he only hit the animals half the time and sometimes it didn't kill the animals. So he made a bigger and better bow and this he could barely pole back and with that he killed a deer and a moose but the moose didn't die and

When they crashed, Brian couldn’t be lazy like he was in the city. He had to use his wits and knowledge that he knew about the woods. He needed to learn how to cook, make fire, hunt, make tools, and build a

Brian spirits we’re down because he kept thinking he wasn’t gonna survive and no one was gonna come and save him. He kept thinking about the secret in the plane and when he had nothing to do he kept getting the reminder. The secret that kept getting his spirit down was how he saw his mom kissing another guy at the mall that wasn’t his dad. Then his mom divorced his dad making him even more sad and he kept thinking about it getting sadder thinking his life was unlucky. He wanted to tell his dad the secret because his dad didn’t know why him and his ex wife broke up. Now he kept

Do you ever wonder how you would survive in the wilderness all by yourself? Do you think that you would survive with nothing but yourself and a hatchet? After surviving a plane crash on the way to his dads, the main character Brian survived in the Canadian Wilderness for 54 days. Throughout the 54 days, Brain realized a lot of things that would help him survive. Out of all of the things Brain realized, I think that the two most critical aha moments was when he realized that he could make fire by using his hatchet, and when he saw the tail of the plane and realized that there could be some kind of survival pack in there.

The last survival strategy that Brian used in this book was thinking positively. One way he uses thinking positively is he uses it to never give up. Brian would always push himself to the limits and never give up, all the while thinking that he was going to get home. Another way Brian uses the survival strategy of positive thinking is that he hoped for the best. Like I said before he would always hope to get home, he would always hope that the search planes would come and find him, and that's what drove him to actually do things. Lastly, Brian used the survival strategy of thinking positively by looking at things a different way. Brian would always analyze things from all different angles, and all different

One thing that is a part of every person’s life on every day of every week of every month of every year is conflict. Conflict is something that people, no matter how they strive, cannot escape from. Whether the conflict on a certain day is on a large scale or it is a miniscule bump in the road, it can be said that there will always be conflict.

The way that a person responds to whatever conflict they are faced with is what determines success or failure. If a person meets the conflict head on and with a positive attitude, then it is almost certain to end in success. If a person meets the conflict with a negative attitude and tries to avoid it, then
