Part One Context And Reflection

For my exam I chose my book review that I did for Hatchet in the beginning of the year. I chose this piece because I knew that I could make it better then it was. The way I changed it was by correcting the grammar, and also used different words that fit better in the context.    

Part Two The Piece

Hatchet Book Review

Heart Attacks, Plane Crashes and Untrained Flying! What does this say to you? To me it says that Brian Robeson has gone through some very tough times high above the Adirondack Mountains. Hatchet is a book about Brian Robeson and the trip up to Canada to see his dad when it all goes south and Brian has to survive with just a hatchet that his mother gave him before his trip. Brian is a 13 or 14 year old boy who is trying to fly up to Canada to see his father but about halfway through his trip his pilot has a heart attack and Brian has to fly the plane down to a lake so he can relatively safely land the plane. After he does he finds out that he has close to nothing at all and that he will need to use his knowledge of nature and how to make a bow to keep him alive. Throughout the book Brian encounters multiple large animals such as, a very large moose that he has to remain calm and still in order to keep the moose from getting alerted but still ends up breaking his rib. He also encountered a very large brown bear when he found a berry bush that was filled with ripe berries and because he stayed calm and moved slow the bear wasn’t alerted and didn’t strike. All in all Brian has to use his knowledge of survival to keep him alive to go back home.
