If I could change the life of a story character to make it more like Zane’s, I would change Brian’s from “The Hatchet.” I would change his life by putting him in Zane’s situation (even though it is not positive). In “The Hatchet,” Brian is going on a trip to see his father (who was divorced with his mother) in the North Canadian woods. He was going in a two-seater plane. While in the air, the pilot had a fatal heart attack. The plane crashed into a lake, with Brian still in it. Brian was forced to fend for himself in the harsh woods for a couple of months with nothing but a hatchet (hence the title of the book). When a rescue force finally saved him, he had already suffered a tornado, getting rammed by a moose, and getting stuck in the leg
First Brian starts his journey when he leaves his mother to go live with his dad with a hatchet his mother gave him as a gift and suddenly finds himself stranded in a rough rugged canadian wilderness. With just the single hatchet and the clothes on his back. He doesn't realize it then but he was luckily crashed by a lake for water and wildlife in and around the lake.
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
He then tries repeatedly to create fire. He eventually does succeed in making fire. He later finds turtle eggs and hesitantly eats them. Later, a plane flies over Brian, but never notices him and Brian loses all hope. He attempts to commit suicide, but ends up surviving the attempt. Brian makes a bow and some arrows and catches a fish. Later that night a skunk enters his shelter and tries to steal his food. He yells at it and it sprays him, leaving him temporarily blinded. He perfects his tools and catches a bird. While he is cleaning the bird in the lake, a moose attacks Brian. In the attack, his ribs and his shoulder were
What does it mean to survive? Have you ever imagined yourself in the Canadian wilderness without anything but a hatchet and not knowing how you ended up there? Well, a 13 year old boy named Brian has put his life and soul to finding a way to survive. He survived by using trial and error, by not giving up, and his senses to survive. He doesn't have any food ready, no matches, and no tools besides his hatchet.
In the book Hatchet, a thirteen year old named Brian, is stranded in the Canadian woods because his plane had crashed. Brian was in the woods for fifty-four days. In those fifty-four days, Brian learned how to survive on his own. In my opinion, Brian does what he can to survive on his own. In the following paragraphs, I will explain how Brian survives during his time in the Canadian woods.
What would you do if you were stranded outside alone in the Canadian Wilderness? Well, the Hatchet is a fictional book written by author Garry Paulsen.

Brian Robeson a 13-year-old boy from New York is the main character of Hatchet by Gary Paulson. The reason Brian is making this plane trip to Canada is because his parents had recently become divorced. His parents’ splitting is the main cause of his instability. At first Brian shows us his fear, frustration and anger. By the end of his experience of being in the wilderness most of those characteristics had changed. Brian does not only learn lessons about survival in the wilderness but life in general.
Throughout the book of Hatchet, Brian developed many skills that helped him survive in the wild and grow as a person. Without his perseverance through tough situations, he wouldn’t have gained his many skills and tools that helped him not only survive but thrive. Some of the moments that Brian showed great persistence include: the building of the fire, hunting for meat, and retrieving survival items from the plane. As Brian learns throughout the book, “You are your most valuable asset. Don’t forget that.

“Soon under an hour, there were thirty or forty small fish in the enclosure and Brian made a gate by weaving small willows together into a fine mesh and closed them in”,(page 136). Brian uses his survival skills to catch the fish in a corner of a lake and trap so he doesn't have to struggle to hunt. This shows his progress that takes him to manhood. Later in the book, he realizes that the tail of the plane is sticking out of the water. It occurs to him that the survival pack should be in the plane. He ends up finding the survival pack after several tries of holding his breath under water. Before this event, he constructed a shooting arrow to kill animals. He then realizes that he has changed and he's nothing like he was before. He had adopted to the way life was in the forest and had learned how to make things with natural resources. Therefore, Brian learned to appreciate what he had and learned to survive in the wilderness

Doctors are always talking about the importance of sleep, but now first year doctors will start working 24 hour straight shifts. In Gina Kolata and Jan Hoffman’s “New Guideline Will Allow First-Year Doctors To Work 24-Hour Shifts” they explain how First year doctors will now be able to work 24 hour shifts. That is 8 eight hours more than the usual limit of 16 hours. They are also only allowed to work 80 hours a week. This new guideline sounds dangerous and might cause more accidents that could of been prevented with just a little sleep.
