The story

It was cold, Brian needed help. He was frozen and desperet. He only had a hatchet. Brian was a survivor.

Themes

One of the qualities that Brian had was that he was brave. Brave enough to get up and fightt with a bear in the middle of the night. Also Brian was a creather. He was making arrows so he could kill an animal and feed him self.Also Brave to support the extrem cold weather outside ex: -35.

One lesson I learned was that first o fall you always pay attention when you are in the woods, especially when you are alone. Also don’t be scard to kill an animal, because you need to stay strong and have lots of energy in the woods. I learned a leason that you should never give up like Brian did. Plus making these things with no help! Brian made alot of arrows to hunt.

Features

One of the features that Gary Paulson used alot in the book is detailing everything explaining every single detail. Ex: Brian had lots of dreams about food food he would like to eat, food he would like to have, and food that he had already eaten. Also Gary uses very few diologue. Ex: didn’t.

Opinion

My opinion to this book is that I find that the Gary explained to much and detailed to much. I would also liked it better if he would of used more diologue.

And just a tinny bit more suspence.

Stratigies

One of the stratigies I mostly used while reading this book was visualize the scene. Especially when Brian was hunting.

Connection
My connection was based on a television show I saw on canal D. It was a men climbing Mount Everest and he was not well dressed for the weather so he froze in the arms of jesus.

Character

In this story their are only one character and it’s Brian. Brian had to survive in the cold with a few thins that he founed in the plane affter de crash. He found a blanket which he used alot to keep him self warm, a pot to boile water and cook, a batterie with a flash light, and finnaly fire. The main thing he did was hunt study animals and make more and more arrows cause when he would shot on an animal he would loose it.

I find that unusual that there were only one character in the story. It’s because Brian was the only survivor affter the plane crash. It’ rear that I red a book with only one character.

Message

The message is probebly to stay strong and to do efforts and help you’re self when you are stuck in a situation like Brian was.


My question to the class

If you were Brian and had have a plane crash What would you’ve done to survive?
