Hatchet Blog.

Brian faces both internal conflict and external conflict. His internal conflict was all, just all facing the fact that he was alone in the woods, him dealing with the secret of his mother cheating on his father. He didn't deal with the secret very well at first, he would let that get to him. He conquerred the thought of the secret. His external conflict was Human Vs. Nature. Nature including animals in the woods, nature including only the use of natural resources. Brian grows as a person through out the whole battle, the secret and the woods helped him grow. He really needed the whole experience just to get over the secret.

"THERE WERE these things to do." pg.100

At this point of the book, I can compare myself quite well to Brian, he's is easily bothered with his emotions, I relate to that because I can get a bit touchy with my emotions. He's very ambicious to finish things through, he could have easily not even try to survive and just die, but he kept on going, kept on going. He remembered what his teacher had told him, feeling sorry for yourself will get you nowhere. He followed that belief and that helped him survive. I want to follow that saying as well, I have nothing to feel sorry for myself for so I shouldn't do anything to hurt my future. This book helped me reach an emotional state which made me cry. Great Book!!!! :'(

Hatchet; Blog One.

"Then a wild crashing sound, ripping of metal, and the plane rolled to the right and blew through the trees, out over the water and down, down to slam into the lake, skip once on water as hard as concrete."
pg. 27

This quote describes the crash that Brian went through after the pilot had a violent heart attack. I tried to imagine myself in the same situation as Brian, going through this viscious plane landing/crash and surviving to still find myself alone, that's a lot to take in. To have his life take a turn right from the pilot dying to him having to pilot the plane, really shows the perserviance of Brian. Just this moment made me look back into a time in my life where I faced a situation that demanding, I came up with s*#t. Brian Faces many external conflicts, this beong one. He faces nature, and internal conflicts with dealing with his parent's divorce. He doesn't like remembering "the secret" because of the very detailed memory of it.

Hatchet Pictures.

Hatchet didn't represent first love, any drug use, no rise to becoming a celebrity. Hatchet followed through Brian Robeson's struggles to survive in the canadian woods. Brian was on his way to see his dad, but when the pilot suffered a heart attack Brian was left alone to try landing the plane. He semi-successfully landed it but suffered several injuries. The novel showed the experience of being self reliant, being alone with only yourself. Hoping to survive. That's all the Novel goes through.

Dear Brian,
         Tell me how you really thought about the situation you found yourself in, were you actually relieved to be away from your parents? I have heard from the story about your adventures that you take on a bear, was this exaggerated? Well Brian you really remind me a lot about this kid I know Cesar. Strong, Handsome, and Funny :] From reading your story I have already seen changes in you, such as being very hurt emotionally and physically. Hope you like my letter for I enjoyed writing it :P
