Hatchet by Gary Paulsen Anticipation Guide


8 comments:

  1. Bryan was in a state of solitude as each day brought more fighting, anger and hate. His family had a terrible fight and now there was no way of fixing things, his mother and father both screamed and shouted at anyone who dared talk to them. The conflict created between their family members could never be destroyed. It was quickly so radical that their parents had decided to divorce. But Bryan’s state was not nearly as bad as his younger sisters she tore her hair and bit her hands in desperation for love and happiness from her parents.
    At the end it was decided to help Bryans younger sister by going on a trip to the wilderness, so his parents could explain to her what was going to happen now and try to calm her down. As the family packed Bryan realized the terrible anger within his parents and why they were so sudden to divorce. But he wondered why? Why did this happen?
    The next morning his parents were in a terrible mood, no speaking or communicating in any other way with each other. During their trip they were all silent and nothing was heard except his sisters sobbing. As they closed on their destination the road became narrower and narrower until it happened. Bryan didn’t know how it happened there was just a sudden crash and then there was pain. So this is how it ended in a car crash.

    My Story

    After the divorce of his parents Bryan moves into the wilderness away from the small African town and everybody else. He moves to the jungle feeling so alone. In the wilderness he builds a treehouse to live in. Weeks later, living in the jungle, he notices that it gets warmer and warmer. By the end of the week it is so warm that all fruits rot and animals hide. Bryan searches for food with desperation but can't find any. He faints and falls onto the floor.

    Bryan regains consciousness in a bed and with a young girl leaning over him. They get to know each other and he finds out that her name is Anne. A week later he decides to leave. He gets money from a small job and takes a bus to Kenya's Capitol. The trip ends in a crash with the bus and a huge truck. Six of the twenty people in the bus die and the others are seriously injured.

    Bryan wakes up in a hospital. Leaning over him is Anne. He asks her why she's here and she says she heard the news on the radio and was scared that he died. She came straight to the hospital. They talk a bit more. Anne is upset about the crash but Bryan cheers her up. He had always felt solitude but for once in his life he was really happy.

Most people in the town where afraid that the earthquake would happen again and this time they would not be so lucky and be able to live the next time it happened.

    Bryan and his dad where afraid so as soon as the opportunity came they packed up and left even thought it was the middle of the night. They were driving and then something happened to the headlights and before they knew it they were driving in the pitch blackness He couldn’t see the steering wheel let alone the road. Almost a minute after driving in the pitch black their car crashed, Bryan was afraid of the worst and the worst had happened as he reached over to his dad he a ones knew he was dead.

    He stayed in the car all night until he saw the sun starting to rise once it was light he saw why they crashed and were they were they were in the complete wilderness and knows that he will have to make it out on foot or he will die. After walking for the whole day in the distance he sees what looks like a city but is actually ruins he finds some food and water and while eating it he decides go on a world wide trip to discover who is destroying all these cities.

    After searching for more than 2 years he feels desperation because he is getting no where with his search. So he gives up, falls in love and not a long while later he gets married, and tries to forget about the cities.

    A year later he looks at the news paper in the morning the headlines say “city today gone tomorrow” and the thought keeps bugging him and he has the urge to find out who is doing this?after the next couple of weeks hew is always searching for information it is like an addiction and he cant give up. At first his wife is just annoyed but then she is just jealous he is spending all his time studying this mystery. She decides she wants a divorce and he knows that he will have to agree because he’s wasting his life and hers with him.

    So he gets a divorce and devotes his life to studying these miss haps because he knows he will not be able eat sleep or live like a person until he solves it.
