Book: The hatchet
Author: Gary Paulsen
Prompt: If you Could ask the protagonist any question what would you ask him and why? What was the biggest challenge in your opinion that the Protagonist had to face, and why do you think this is his biggest challenge?
If I could ask the protagonist Brian any question I would ask him why he never searched the interior of the plane that had crashed when he got out of it and not just at the end of summer? The reason that I would ask him this would be because at the beginning of the summer when the plane crashed, he got out of the wreckage and he waited until the end of the summer when the rescue plane came. I thought that it was silly that he forgot about it for such a long time because it would have been really useful for him mostly for the fact that it had a gun and a lot of food to last him for at least a month.
The biggest challenge that I think that the main character Brien had to face was the acceptance that he was stuck and that he would probably not see any body again? This would be bad because he would have probably gotten depressed if he was not working so hard to build a shelter to make a fire. The reason that I thought that this was his biggest challenge was because it would be really scary to be all alone in the dark forest not knowing if you are going to live or not.
Another hard challenge that I think that he faced was making a fire. I think this because all he had was a hatchet and a rock and when you hit the hatchet at the rock you need to be really close to the tinder bundle or else the spark wont last long at all. Another reason that I think that this was one of the hardest challenges for him was because of the lack of energy in his body from running around and waiting after the plane crashed for so long without any food or water to replenish him because he was probably really tired.
