Question

Please help if you read the hatchet it's for an assignment I'm behind on bc I had other harder stuff to do so please don't take my points!

1. Was Brian crying because of the pain from the porcupine attack
2. According to Brian, what is the most important rule of survival? Why?
3. What did Brian finally remember from his science class that helped him to make a successful fire?
4.What kind of a boy was Brian? Use examples from the story to support your answer.
5.Other than the hatchet, what helped Brian to survive in the wilderness?
6.Why was the twenty-dollar bill that Brian had in his wallet useless

Answer 1

1. After Brian pulled out the porcupine quills, he started to cry.

2. His most important rule is that feeling sorry for yourself didn't work as it can't make fire or pull out the porcupine quills.

3. Fire needs oxygen to live.

4. "The main character in Hatchet, Brian Robeson, is a thirteen-year-old boy from New York City. This novel primarily deals with themes of man and nature as well as of self-awareness and self-actualization, mainly through Brian's experiences living alone in the wilderness. Therefore, he is essentially the only principal character. Brian's parents have just recently divorced, and this conflict between them has deeply affected Brian and his sense of stability. His sense of self has been disrupted by his parents' split, and he bears the burden of "The Secret," that is, the knowledge that his mother is having an affair with another man." According to Spark Notes. I haven't read Hatchet in years lol

5. Food (like the berries), the lake (for water), fire (warmth)

6. The 20 dollar bill was useless to get him out of the wilderness.
