To Dad

This is your son, Brian Robeson. The plane I was on crashed when the pilot had a heart-attack and died. Now I’m in a Northern Canadian forest. It was tough at first, but now I’ve found 4 main things to help me survive. First, shelter, I made my shelter near the far end of the ridge. It protects me from sun, rain and mosquitos. It also keeps me warm. Second, the body of water-here is an L shaped lake so I can drink water from it. Third, I’ve found a lot of food to eat. First, I had found berries to eat, but I don’t think berries would be enough. I spend few days making the bow, but I still failed when I gave it a try. I failed few more times, then I realized that something was wrong .I stared in the water for a little while. The light that came above me bent in the water. Refraction, I thought. How could I forget? I’ve learned in science, that when light travels through the water it bends. When I remembered this, I learned to use my spear for in another way, then I caught lots of fish all by MYSELF. The golden fish were really delicious to me, because I had spent many days making the bow, and I hadn’t eat anything. I ate so many fish that I couldn’t count. I went to catch the fish, bring it to the fire, cook it and eat it. Then went to catch the fish, bring it to the fire, cook it and eat it, so on. All of these thing are helping me to survive. Few days ago, a plane passed overhead. Its engine was so deafening. I was almost sure that the plane would take me home and I could visualize me eating the food in the mall. I was so surprised and happy when I thought the plane will come down to rescue me. The plane only needs to turn to see me, but it didn’t. It didn’t turn or come lower, but it did fly away. Depressed, hopeless, dark and empty feeling filled my whole body. Maybe it was my last chance for me to get out of this forest. Maybe it was your last chance to find me. I miss you, miss Terry, and miss my home. If the rescuer could see me, I could be in home now. I just want to end this, let it be done. So I climbed around the rock and tried to end my life by using the hatchet (which mom had given to me) to cut my arm. The word I’ve been thinking over and over again is Clouddown. So I laid on the rock wishing for the death. ”For 47 days,” I thought, “I’ve been hoping for the plane to come. But it did come, then left. Everything I have done for me to survive has been useless. “The second morning arrived and I found myself alive. Now I still have hope but different ones. I am hoping that I can survive by working harder while the searchers are still looking for me. I need to use work to get some hope. I don’t know if you can see me in person or if you’ll see this letter, but I want you to know what happened to me. I don’t know if I will still be alive when you see this letter, but I hope to see you again.

From Brian

During the summer

I think Brian will get saved by a plane from the Canadian search squad. Brian’s going to send a signal by setting a tree on fire but he’s going to get food if it takes too long. When the search team spots him he’s going wave his arms in a x position. While he’s waving his arms the bear going to attack him by surprise he’s going to fight and kill the bear in order to survive with the help of the wolf, after they kill the bear, the plane’s going to land and Brian’s going to pet the wolf and say goodbye, when he’s in the plane he will sit in the co-pilots seat waiting to get home while Brian’s waiting to get home he’s going to meet a new pilot named Bob. When Brian’s in the plane he’s going to tell bob about how he crashed and about how he was suppose to go to his dad when he gets home he’s going to see his mom and dad together watching the then their going to hug him while he cries.

Then Brian’s going to tell them about how he crashed and Brian’s mom is going to bake them a pie to welcome back Brian and they lived happily ever after.

I think that Brain will get saved by a plane or a helicopter by lighting a tree on fire.
When Brian gets saved by the plane (that can float on water) it might crash again and they have to survive all over again.
I think this because almost every survivor survives and get rescued, he might go back to the sinking plane and find something.

My Prediction on the ending of the book “Hatchet” is Brain getting rescued by rescuers. I think he is going to get rescued because he does a variety of things to alert one of the planes or helicopters to come and rescue him from the forest. For example, Brian creates a fire to alert the plane from the sky. It will be better if Brain made more campfires or burn a tree on fire to light up the area and to smoke. So the plane can see the fire and smoke to alert them to come and rescue Brian. There is a way that the rescuers are looking for the plane that brain witnessed the plane crash and they probably heard what Brian said in the radio about to come and rescue him from the Canadian wilderness. There could be a tracker on the plane. So the rescuers know where to go and to find Brian. And I think Brian is going to make a big message to the plane using rocks and sticks on the ground. I really hope that Brian gets rescued because he did a lot of effort on surviving in the forest and to help himself to get rescued. I think by the end of the story he is going to meet his father again and be pleased that he is not in the forest anymore. Here is my prediction of the ending of hatchet.

My survival kit would have:

1. A knife
2. Food
3. A survival guide
4. A medicine kit
5. Hammer
6. A sleeping bag
7. A communication radio
8. A GPS
9. A weapon (gun)
10. A fork
11. Bullets
