I love the book Hatchet. It is very descriptive. Do you like it?
Sydney

Do you think Brian will survive? Will Brian ever find his dad? The bear wasn't really trying to capture it just wanted something to eat.
amanda

Why doesn't Brian try to find flint rocks?
jaclyn

I really like the book Hatchet.
I think he will survive. Does he find anymore food? Will the bear come again and try to get Brian?

Now that he has fire he will have heat, and the mosquitos will stay away, and if he catches some fish or something he could cook it, also the fire will give him confidence.
Jenn and Jordan

We think fire would change Brian's life because he could have safty, heat, be able to cook food, keep bugs away and have light in the night. What do you think Brian can do with the fire?
Erin
Grade 5th
Sparta School
Sparta, NC
Hi,my name is Erin. I'm in the fifth grade, and we are reading the book Hatchet. It is very good. Do you like the part where he is picking berries and the gigantic black bear sneaked up on him? What do you think will happen next in the story?
Kristy and Josh
Grade 5
Heritage Glen Public School
Oakville, Ontario
We think he will become healther and more sane about the problem because now he has a fire. We think he will be able to make a fishing rod and roast fish on the fire. We think Brians dream is freaky. What do you think will happen to Brian's lifestyle?

I'm really enjoying the book. I can't imagine my pilot having a heart attack and my plane crashing. Yesterday we read chapter 7. How would you feel with a bear right there in front of you? I would be scared. Really scared. So I hope I never come face to face with a bear.

When he said that his father did not know the secret--I wonder if that is true?

I don't like this book becauase there isn't enough action.Sometimes it's okay but I would rather read another book.It's never very exciting.The book is easy to understand but there isn't enough action.Do you like this book?
Jake

I like the book.It is great.I like it when the bear comes and Brian turns stiff.I wonder how Brian will start a fire?

I think Ch.8 was really cool.I liked when a porcupine stummbled into Brians tent.I also liked when the porcupine slapped brian with its quills.It was also funny when it felt like there was a dozens and dozens of quills in his leg .But it hurt so bad it felt like there was dozens of quills but you know what that there was only eight quills in his leg.But I think out of this whole book he will suvrive from all his inergys.

This book reminds me of when I got lost in Chuckie Cheese, and my techer left without me, so the police found me and brought me back!

Chaper 8 was so exiciting. In this chaper a porcupine quils had gone in Brian. I think that Brian is going to survive,and I think that the quils that the porcupine set will heal.
Michelle

I found out that I could do things by myself, just like Brian is doing. When I was learning to ride a bike, my dad was telling me what to do, but I didn't listen. It did it my way, and I soon learned how to ride a bike!
Do you think that another animal will come in his shelter?

My favorite part of chapter 8 is when Brian sees the porcupine and gets hurt, but I also feel sorry for him. Ouch!

Hi Tyler,
I'm on chapters 8 and 9. What I think is that Brian will exscape from the bear and make it back to his shelter.

Dear Krystal,
I think he should use the hatchet to make a sharp stick and go to the river and catch some fish too.And I think he needs to build a better and safer shelter.What do you think?

Dear beth in NC I like this book to do you think the piolt is alive
Britt

I agree with Brian that feeling
sorry for yourself doesn't help you
in any way.In a Matter of fact why would
you feel sorry for yourself in the
middle of the woods.I mean it really
is not helping anyone including yourself.
Sometimes I just pretend that self pitty
isn't even there.I mean why even feel sorry
for yourself if it is not going to help
you in any way.

When I read that chapter I found it interesting too.
You don't usually read about a kid crashing into a lake very often!

Hi Tyler! Why do you like the crashing part? I like it because the author describes alot about the crash. Infact,ya know the part when Brian is escaping from the lake? I felt like I was drowning. I am reading chapter 7 tonight? What chapter are you on? Write back please!
