Also in Hatchet, Brian has to figure out how to get to the crashed plane, then get on the plane to find the hatchet. Brian shows his ability to make a plan for what he needs to do. For example, Kummerfeldt says, “You have to accept the fact that, as good an outdoors-man or women as you may be, sometimes things happen that precipitate you into a crisis when you least expect it and you’d better be ready to cope with…” For instance, Brian is following Kummerfeldt’s advice by making a
In the book Hatchet when Brian first get fire is when he is asleep and a porcupine comes and Brian throws the hatchet at the porcupine. The thing was Brian missed and sent the hatchet flying at the wall. Then the porcupine sent quills at Brian into his leg. The next morning Brian looked at the wall and saw sparks marks and then he thought if he hit the wall with the hatchet than he could start fire. In Survival by the Numbers Peter said,”What are priorities – fire first or shelter?” Peter said that you have to have fire. Brian had to use fire a lot in the book.
In the book, Hatchet, Brian had to adapt to the wilderness around him. Through this process he changed because he was more aware of how nature was working, how he learned how to hunt through this process, and how he became thinner because his food source was not as abundant. When he was living in the Canadian wilderness, Brian noticed how the fish moved and what shape the foolbirds were. In this way, he was more aware of his surroundings. Brian had to find a way to get food and hunt with the right tools. When he noticed what shape the foolbirds were, he used that to get them for food. He did not get as much food as he did when he was living in civilization. Therefore, his lack in food meant he got thinner and lost 17% of his body weight. Brian
One way he didn't give up is when he went out and wanted to get the survival packet. He lost his hatchet when he was trying to get a hole in the plane to go in and get the survival pack. He made a raft to land to the lake. Then Brian felt deeply sad he lost his hatchet. Even though all that happened to him he still did not get discouraged.
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.
Have you ever wondered what you could learn if you needed to survive in the Wild? Well in the book Hatchet, Brian already answered that for himself when he crash landed in the wild and survived in the wild. He shows what he has learned and how he has changed in chapter 11, when he realizes that his hearing and seeing has increased since living in the wild and in chapter 16, when he shows that he has learned to manage his food in order to survive in the wild. And the upcoming paragraphs are about how the things that Brian learned helped him through surviving in the wild.
They showed the important fact that even though, they have divorced, they were real parents for Brian forever. I think Brian could also realize how much Brian's parents love him, and how precious to them. I think the hatchet which Brian's mother gave Brian before he left played an important role to Brian. It was not just a hatchet, but I think it meant parents. Whenever he had difficulty living, he used hatchet to cut woods or make tools. In my thought, the writer intended to represent the hatchet as parents which always try to help their children whenever they need.

In the book hatchet there is a main theme, the theme is to symbolize survival in a harsh place. I think this is the main theme because there is significant textual evidence Brian survives for about 54 days. This is also shown when Brian tries and gets the medical kit inside the plane. So basically the Symbolism of this book is to survive. Also, he uses his hatchet in some parts of the book to make and build his fort. How would you react if you were in his situation? Would you be in a position to survive?

Joyce Meyer once said, “Discipline is your friend, not your enemy.” Throughout history, parents have used this ideology to ensure children obey and respect authority. Ray Bradbury used his story, “The Veldt”, to make the point that discipline is essential for proper growth in adolescence. He believes that if parents do not discipline their children, it will lead to their demise. In the story, when the parents, Lydia and George, do not discipline their children, Wendy and Peter, the children lost respect for their parents. This will lead to their murder because the children had no respect for them. Bradbury used irony, setting, and motif to show there are grave consequences to not disciplining and spoiling your children.

In the past few decades college sports have grown immensely in popularity nationwide, especially when the bigger events such as March Madness and the College Football National Championship arise. Even though the NCAA considers themselves to be a non profit organization, March Madness is such a huge event that in 2011 the NCAA made an agreement with CBS Sports and Turner Broadcasting System to let them broadcast the games until 2024 for $10.8 billion, but during March Madness they make almost $800 million every year from jersey, ticket, and product sales ("Revenue"). Depending on how far some of the colleges go these universities could make an extra few million also. None of the money the colleges or the association makes is given to the student athletes. They are the ones that work so hard to help bring in all of the revenue for their schools and the NCAA but get nothing in return. Besides bringing in revenue for their school if they prove that they are a good collegiate school it will make high school students look further into their school and potentially attend that university. According to the NCAA for any student athlete to be eligible and still be considered amateur they are not allowed to receive salary for participating in any athletic program nor are they allowed to be given prize money above necessary expenses, ("Amateurism") However a common view is that college athletes should not be paid because most of them already receive a free education and get
