Lost in the Wild

Authors Note:This is an essay that tells people about the book Hatchet. It is a very good book

Have you ever been stuck out in the wild with only a hatchet? Well in the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen there was a boy stuck out in the wild with only a hatchet and a couple other supplies. The book is very detailed and has a lot of action. Books with a lot of action tend to pull more people in to the book and make them read it more. Brian the main character has the best determination as he fights the wilderness. 

People kept telling me Hatchet is a great book, so this year I decided to read it. I read it and thought it was a fantastic book. The book would be a great book for people that like to read action books. Also people that like to read stories when people are lost in the wild.

Enough said about how amazing the book is. In the beginning the main character is flying in a plane to go see his dad in Canada, he is only in a 2 person plane, but the pilot has a heart attack and the main character has to fly it into a lake. That is a lot of action for in the beginning of the book.

That was a couple of things that happened in the book. There is a life lesson in this book which is determination. If you don’t know what that means it means to never give up. If the main character gave up he would have died of starvation, but he didn’t because he has determination and knows how to survive in the wild.

Gary Paulsen, the writer of the amazing book Hatchet has a lot of action and well detailed. The action in this book pulls more people and making them read more and more. If we didn’t have determination and we were lost out in the wild and we gave up, we would die.
