Summary: Hatchet
Review: The book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen takes place in the wilderness. Brian Robeson has to survive in the wild all on his own and try to stay alive. His mom in Hatchet gives Brain a hatchet before he lives to go see his dad. The story is about a young kid who crashes in an air plane on the way to go see his dad. He haves to make his own shelter, his own food and his own clothes to stay alive. If I was the one in the book I would have never flown in a plane to go see my dad. I would of just had him come over here. Non of that would have happened. I would have found a cave to live in right off the bat and get a lot of food so I wouldn't have to get food every dad I would just have food in my cave or what ever I was living in. I thought it was a really good book!

Summary: Hatchet Review
Review: Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen, is a great adventure book. When his parents divorce, thirteen-year old Brian Robeson is sent to visit his father in Canada for the summer. While flying in a small plane over the Canadian Forest, the pilot has a heart attack and dies. The plane eventually crashes into a lake and Brian is left to survive in the wilderness on his own. Using the hatchet his mother gave him, he makes fire and a bow and arrow for food. He encounters many wild animals that threaten his safety. This story is about how Brian learns how to fend for himself, deal with his parents' divorce on his own, and become a stronger person internally as well as externally.
Overall, this book was very interesting. I liked it because of the way Brian had the strength and courage to make it own his own in the Canadian Wilderness. Every time Brian would just get settled in, another disaster would strike. I recommend everyone read Hatchet, a Newbery Honor Book by Gary Paulsen.

Review: Hatchet
Paulsen, Gary
A Pandey
Period 5An outstanding novel by Gary Paulsen! Hatchet is the best book I have read, because its so adventurous. Brian Robeson is a 13-year-old boy who is going to meet his dad for the first time after his parents divorce. He received a hatchet as a parting gift from his mom, which later helped him out. The story gets exciting from the beginning because his plane crashes and he is stuck in the wilderness. He must learn to survive because all he has is clothes on him and a hatchet. He soon starts to adapt to the environment and learns many things on his own. He learned many things to survive he ate berries, made a spear to catch fishes, ate eggs, made his own little shelter, learned how to make fire with his hatchet, and many more. This book is all about Brian adapting to the environment around him, and he does! What I liked about this book was that it was really adventurous and made me read on and on. I love this book because it shows how a teenager could survive in the wilderness on his own. I love the way he gets so happy whenever he finds a new food or a new way to get something. The really interesting part was when Brian gets the survival pack by going down in the lake the plane crashed into. It was like treasure for him it had a sleeping bag, pots and plate, rifle, fishing rod, a first aid kit, knife, compass, lighters, matches, food, and many more things. I like the quote when he just lands into the wilderness and he says, "So.So.So here I am." Right after that he says, "I am hungry"! What I didn't like about this book was that whenever an airplane arrived it always missed him and left him lonely at the forest. Also there aren't many quotes in this book except in the beginning. I think that the book could have been more interesting if he would have not been rescued. I really admired his weapons he made to capture his food. I really loved the way Brian learns to survive, he survived for 54 days before he was rescued! This was a great book and i loved it. This quote was my favorite in the book," right now I'm all I've got to survive. I have do something." My favorite part of the book was in the beginning when Brian is on the co-pilot seat and the pilot starts holding on to his stomach and starts saying," I don't know what I ate but it hurts". The pilot soon gets a heart attack. The pilot goes down and tells him to take over, Brian doesn't know much about flying the plane! The plane was now going to crash and Brian only hoped it lands in a lake and always kept on saying, "I am going to die". Luckily the plane lands in the L shaped lake and he survives. This was my favorite part because it was so funny and scary. I love this book and look forward to read another one of Gary Paulsen's novel.

Summary: Survival Against the Odds
Review: Hatchet was a great book about survival in the wilderness with almost no hope. I enjoyed reading this book and I am currently reading Hatchet:Winter, which is also quite good. I found Hatchet compelling and I would read it again.

Summary: Couldn't put it down!!
Review: I really liked this book, it was really exciting and taught me a lot about the environment and how I might be able to survive if something like that happened to me. My favorite part was where he learned how to kill the wild chickens, or "fool-birds" as he called them. It was scary when the pilot had a heart attack, and Brian smelled the smell, but I thought this was a great book. I kept worrying about Brian, so I had to finish the book quickly! Everyone should read this book!

Summary: Hatchet
Review: Chris Mulica
ESL Reading 3/22/04 Hatchet The novel Hatchet is a very good book. Sometimes it makes you cry. It shows that every person can do stuff that is hard to imagine. It is a life story that could happen to any one. Main character Brian Robson is going to visit his father who lives in Canada. During the flight pilot has a heart attack and died. Brian landed the plane in the Canadian wilderness. He has nothing with him; nobody to talk to or to share feelings with. The worst part of it is that he has nothing to eat. He is so hungry that he would pay any price to get food. After few days of starving he eats some raspberries but they weren't the good ones so he throws up. He made his own tools and he starts to a new life there. He even made a fire, which helps him a lot. He is getting some new ideas how to get food but he has no idea how is going to get back home. He is there for 54 days and then something happens.
When I was reading this book I felt sorry for Brian but I also was proud of him. When he was doing all those things it was hard to believe that he was only 13 years old. Especially when he made a fire, without matches or lighter. He also made his own weapons to get food by using only his hatchet. This book makes me happy because it shows that you just have to believe in yourself and do what you think is good.
The best part of this book is that it is very easy to read because it doesn't have a lot of hard words. It is also very interesting with a lot of fast action. This story could happen to any person, which makes it more interesting.
I learned from this book that you must trust yourself no matter where you are. Sometimes you can do things that you think are impossible to achieve.
There is only one thing that I would change in this novel; I think that it a little too short at the end. I would make it a little more interesting and longer so it would be nicer to read it.

Summary: Hachet
Review: This novel is a very good and interesting book. It shows how one person can survive in the Canadian wilderness. Brian Robeson was going to Canada to visit his father. The pilot had hardtack and the airplane crash on the lake. But Brian was safe. He slimed away from the sinking wreckage of the plan. When he rested on the shore of the lake that had crashed he got up and tried to look for somewhere to sleep because night was coming. First he lived in the forest and he didn't have anything eat he tried to find something to eat. When he found raspberries he eat too many of them and he threw up because the doesn't good. Brian started new life there. He tried to hunt for animals to get some different food. He even made a fire, which helped him a lot. Brian was there for 54 days, bat he survived.
When I was reading Hatchet I felt born for Brian because he was only 13 years old and he had to be alone. Sometime it was funny when he was doing this stuff because couldn't do it. Overall I thing that this book had good influence on me.
I like this book because it is easy to understand and it is not to long. I also like because I like to read adventure books and books that have a lot action. I learned from this book a lot. The first thing is that you have to always yourself you can't depend on someone. I also learned that if you want to do something you just need to be trying to do it.
I would give this book 9 out of 10. There was nothing that I want to change I thing that it is a very good book.
