Introduction Paragraph: Hatchet. Is the book I like the most among three. Written by Gary Paulsen and published in 1996 was even appointed to a Newberry Honor Book. It is a story whose genre is survival adventure, and its main subject is a broken parent's boy's survival in forest. Summary: Brian was a sad boy whose parent got divorced, and he had to stay with father for the vacation. While he was going to Canada, the pilot got a heart attack, and gas ran out. Then a plane went down to the forest

The new wave of businesses and the myriad of terms which accompany – co-production, collaborative consumption, on-demand economy, now form today’s Sharing Economy; a hybrid of social exchanges and economic interests governed by reputation systems. Its commercial agenda is significant as previous notions of communitarian and cooperative vision which focused on personal experiential exchanges are now defined by a small number of firms backed by large amounts of venture capital.

In the incredibly captivating, and exciting book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen the reader feels like she is experiencing a tough but believable journey.

His skin, icy to the touch and his eyes glossed over with a sheet of frost. A circle of feathers surrounds him, some his own and some of the bird making a home in his chest cavity and pecking away at his insides with a blood tipped beak. Covering my mouth with the surgical mask I scavenged from the hospital, I turn his body over to find the cause of death. Angel's

An important nonfiction book that I think everyone should read is Night by Elie Wiesel. This book was published in 1960 by Hill and Wang. It has 116 pages and it is told by a man who survived the Holocaust. This was a very important moment in history that everyone needs knowledge on.

Although some might disagree, hospitality of strangers impact a life. In the Hatchet series, by Gary Paulson, there is a lot of hospitality. In the first book, Hatchet, Brian has been stranded out in the wilderness for a very long time. He has used the emergency kit and thinks that the distress signal is broken. Later, he sees a plane fly in the air and is finally rescued from the wilderness because of that man’s hospitality. In the book The River, The government wants Brian to go back to the wilderness

Have you ever been on a plane? Imagine crashing because the pilot had a heart attack and having to survive by yourself for a months. These things happen in the three time newbery honor author, Gary Paulsen’s book “Hatchet”. A kid named Brian has been in the same plane crash as described.

For instance, the case of the “Green River Killer” (Hickey, 2010:24) may offer another possible explanation for what caused Jack the Ripper to become a serial killer. Gary Ridgway is America’s most notorious serial killer (Hickey, 2010), he “holds the record for the most serial murder convictions in the history of the United States” (Hickey, 2010:24). Ridgway is responsible for the deaths of 48 women (Hickey, 2010). Like Jack the Ripper, Ridgway selected prostitutes as his intended victims (Paley
