Wilderness

Authors Note: I wrote this piece about the book "hatchet". It will be my retelling piece.

A young boy survives alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing to assist him but a small hatchet. Left with only a hatchet he received as a gift from his mother, he then faces survival challenges - building a shelter, hunting for food, fighting off wild animals, big and small. While facing the outside wilderness, he also confronts his inner difficulties following his parents' breakup and what he conceived as his mother's unfaithfulness. After nearly two months of resourcefulness adventures, Brian is rescued, but in the process he had grown and changed to become a new person.
