Hatchet Reflection

If Ms Skloot had not been a part of the story, the book would not have been as interesting. Ms. Skloot's inclusion to the life of the Lacks family allowed the viewers to be in her shoes. The readers were able to see through the eyes of the author, as she goes on the quest to earn the trust from the Lacks and later on show the world that Hela wasn’t just a world changing cell but a person with a family and a life. The faith healing scene in page 289 would also have felt different because Skloot's existence in the scene gave it a feeling of bond that she had made with Deborah and Gary. Some other scene that made a difference because of her presence is in chapter 6. She was so eager to connect with the Lacks family. Skloot constantly calls

Imagine that you are stranded in the wilderness, where there are wild animals, poisonous berries, and much more danger. You need to survive fifty-five days in that environment with only one tool. Will you be able to do this? This actually happens to a thirteen-year old boy in the book Hatchet. Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen, is full of dangerous but wonderful adventures in the wild.

The book Hatchet written by Gary Paulsen is the first novel of five in the Hatchet series. It was published on September 30, 1987. Its a young adult fiction and a Newbery Honor winning young adult wilderness survival novel. Hatchet is a fast, intense, exciting read.

Hatchet's survival story, then, is two-fold. Because stereotypically boys are less focused on the emotional aspect of things, and boys raised on G.I. Joes as opposed to a game of “house” are less interested in domesticity, the adventure trappings of Hatchet serve to mask what is really happening in the story.

This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

Hatchet, a survival novel written by American author, Gary Paulsen, is an inspirational story about a thirteen-year-old protagonist named Brian who is stranded in the Canadian wilderness. As Brian encounters numerous challenges throughout the novel, he is forced to adapt to his situation and gains perspective as a result. This character development is evident when Brian decides to stay more motivated as he remembers the advice of his English teacher, Mr Perpich. Brian then realises that self-pity accomplishes nothing, following his painful experience with a porcupine; lastly, after a skunk attack, he learns to be cautious of his property.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

Have you ever had to survive in the wild? Probably with your parents or someone else but I mean all alone. I doubt you have, I read a book called, Hatchet and it's about a kid named Brian Robeson and he is the only survivor from a plane crash and he has to survive all alone. Seems easy right except here's the catch, the only thing he had was a hatchet. Throughout the 54 days he was out there, Brian had to figure out critical things required to survive. Some things like making a bow and making a fire. He needed both of those to really get anywhere in the wilderness. Brian was a city boy, so he didn't know much about surviving all alone. but with only himself, his hatchet, and his knowledge, he managed to make it through.

Out of the four characters in the book, I think I relate to both Hem and Haw for different reasons. I can relate to Hem because I too have been stuck in once place in my current employment because of my fear of change. I have been in a training position for over four years now and when three different supervision jobs opened up, although I applied for these jobs, I honestly did not want them. I was scared what it would be like to be a supervisor and all of the responsibilities that would come with it. I was scared of the possibility of schedule changes and that I would not be able to cope or handle whatever schedule they tried to throw at me. Although, as a trainer, I do supervise at least once employee and sometimes several, I was scared at failing if I were to try and supervise of more than one employee at once.

Growing up in the United States, there are many things that I had just accepted as the norm. Eating a diet heavy in meat and dairy are staples in the diet of the average American that those who differ are considered strange. Interestingly, the United States is also referred to as one of the unhealthiest nations in the world. How could we be so unhealthy, when we are such a developed country that has access to the best medical care and information. The documentary “Forks Over Knives” focuses on exactly this point. It claims that there is a fundamental problem with the diet of Americans, particularly our heavy consumption of meat and dairy. This documentary asserts that the cure for all of our health related problems is to switch to a whole
