I think it is messed when he keeps repeating things. I think he should try to land the plane in the water so the plane won't blow up when it hits the ground. Or, he should get the survival kit, and parachute out.

I thought it was neat when Brian put on the hetset, and started to scream in it, but I was also scared when the pilot died (maybe). It was also daring when he decided to run out of airplane gas, and fall to the ground!!

I think that he should of turned the plane around instead of just going on forward until he ran out of gas. Also I think that even if he didn't turn it around, he should of made the plane land earlier on.

I think he made a bad decision about landing in the water. I think he should use the air brakes and land in the trees very slowly. I also think that Gary Paulson should not reapet the words as much as he does.

I think the book is really kind of good. Did you start reading it yet?Do you know what happens in chapter 3? Did you read about when the pilot had a heart attack and Brian had to fly the plane himself?Did you read about when there the pilot said "oh my God my chest is coming apart"

I think that Brian will probably wait until the plane runs out of gas to land the plane. I think that he'll land the plane when it runs out of gas because he has the whole procedure planned out. So that he might not die.

Message:
After the pilot died I bet Brian was scared. I think Brian should land the plane and find some shelter for the night. Then he should make a signal so he can get rescued. There is no point in using the radio because they can't do anything to help because he does not know where he is so he can't tell them where he is so they can't pick him up.

I would go down slowly before the fuel ran out. Because then when he was going down he would be going down slow he wouldn't of crashed as hard. I think this would of helped him the best. Maybe if he looked for a parachute it might of helped him on the landing. I do know when I'm in stress I can't think as well. Maybe that's what happened to him.

I think that Brian will be able to survive in the forest because if he lived through that plane crash he can live through anything.He could go back to the plane and get some suplies like food clothing and other things.

Hatchet is a good book so far. I like it because Brian is very serious abot his parents divorce. He has so many different feelings. Just like curious of why his parents got divrced,lonely because he has no one in the plane with him,and he is very sad. I like the book also because his mother gives him a hatchet and that what the book is called!

I think Brian was crushed when he saw the vision of the secret that made his parents get divorsed.The vision was of his mother in the station wagon with another man.

I think Brian is going though some tough times. Brian is sad that his mom and dad are in a divorce. Brian went on a trip to see his father. I really think Brian is confused about why his mom and dad are in a divorce. I feel sad for Brian.

We're enjoying reading Hatchet! Today we did a Reader's Theater activity called "Going Down" that shows what Brian might be thinking in the plane right before and after the pilot has the heart attack.
