Lathan Dimel’s Reviews > Hatchet > Status Update

this week i read a lot about how he was trying to signal his mom or dad the whole time he was trying to get there attention in many ways everytime he seen a boat he would pray that they came to the island to rescue him he wrote in the sand "help" for the planes that flew by but he had to take matters into his own hands by making a boat and taking it back the way he cam from.

I read a lot this week about how brian developed the island into one of his homes, he made his own shelter in a cave and made his own boat incase help doesn't arrive in time. brian has found a way to consistently find water that hes able to drink and food he can eat to stay alive. he has found a way to survive all by himself.

this week i read a lot about how he developed the island and made it feel at home he made his own shelter and a boat just incase help doesn't arrive soon. he has figured out by himself how to survive finding food to eat and water that's good to drink consistently.

in the past couple of pages in hatchet it talks a lot about brian's parents and about how he was getting food to survive by himself it talks about the skills he uses to survive and sleep eat and stay hydrated by himself.

brian says "food was simply everything" this shows that brian has to hunt down animals to get food in order to live because you can live without eating. he also said "water is probably the other thing i cant live without." this shows he will have to find a river to get water out of

Brian was writing down mistakes he had made sense the plane crashed this is letting him know not to make the same mistake twice he has had a lot of mistakes but that's not a bad thing it will help him succeed to get off the island he crashed on

Brian said in the story…”There was no pain there so he assumed that had taken care of itself. His leg was also back to normal” this shows that with his leg being back to normal he will be able to do all the things he has done a lot better to improve, he found a raw egg that he ate because he could find food that night.

if brian wants to survive with his pain in fear then he will have to get wood for a fire to keep him warm and give him light through the night so that he can survive with all the pain he has it will be hard for him to collect the wood but if he wants to survive he has to.

brian had a sore left leg injury that made it hard for him to survive through the cold weather in canada, brian had to figure out how to hunt and find water with a sore left leg.

brian felt something was up on the island that he wasn't the only one their so he got very scared, he smelt something that was weird and he starting think about all the monsters he had seen on youtube. He was really scared so he stayed in his tent for as long as he could until day time came.
