Hatchet+(MI9)

==**How would you feel leaving one parent behind? Is this a fair choice to make a kid decide? Have you ever flown on an airplane? If so, what was it like (be descriptive). If you could pick a "far off" destination to travel to, where would it be?**==
 * Day 1 Reflection**

Day 1 Response

I would feel really crappy and wouldn’t leave one behind because its not fair that you have to leave one at home or where ever.

Its not fair that its a kids choice because parents should automatically be able to come. I would go to Japan because they have Pokemon stuff there and it’d be pretty darn cool!

 I would feel very lonely with out my parents. no, i would have a kid decide. no, i did not fly in plane before. i would go to Florida because it will be warm and peaceful 

Day 2 Reflections:

 * Have you ever been on your own for a day / night? What was it like having the freedom & responsibility of making good choices? What problems does Brian face? What is the worst problem so far? He finds a hatchet. What one thing would you NEED / WANT to have with you if you were stranded in the wilderness?

Brian faces problems like a divorce, planecrash, and a pilot's gut ache and heartattack. So Brian has to take control ad fly the plane himself. Then he flies into the trees forcefuly and has to swim out of the windsheild, without drowning. The worst problem so far is that he has to live in the wilderness not knowing how to. Before he leaves the airport his mom gives him a hatchet and then he gets a survival kit from the plane and sees the pilot's body, in bones, with minoes picking at it. In the wilderness you would need a ax/hatchet, a survival pack, food suplies, and a tent. You have to be prepared for what you're doing.

__**Day 4 Wiki Response**__
==**Brian seems to be putting things together to successfully survive living alone in the wilderness. Describe a time when you overcame an obstacle through sheer mental effort or will. He has to "invent" tools to help him hunt and fish. Tell about a time when you invented something, and how did it turn out? He finally enjoys success through his hard work and efforts to hunt and fish. Have you ever been fishing? How does Brian's experience compare to yours?**==

 dogman10 when i was little i was out camping by myself when i had no way to make a fire but i made one anyway. i made a toy out of toy parts to help fora gift to some one. it turned out weird. yes i have but i got lots of fish. Day 4 Response One time when I was about 4 years old I invened the Ketchkey on buttered toast. It had Ketchup, turkey, butter, and toast. Since I made it I had to eat, family rule.So I thought it was pretty good until I realized that the turkey we had was 2 weeks old and I just (chocked it down) ate it. So the next day I had the somach flu. Big sursprisewas that my Mom didn't say anything, I considered my self a bad cook and now 7 years later,I'm really good at cooking stuff, that isn't a concoction of random foods put together.

__Day 5 Response Questions:__
**Brian is starting to get good at doing what he needs to survive. What are some things you think you do particularly well? What could you improve on in your own lives? Does Brian have any sense of hope of being rescued? Should he plan to be rescued or better spend his time planning on how to survive the winter?**

dogman10 ** <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">i do well in games and in baseball. i can improve by not hurting people. yes he has lots of hope. both because they both are hard to do to get rescued the plane has to see him. to survive the winter to keep warm. **

Day 5 Response

I’m good at Pokemon and I’ve completed 3 Pokedex’s including Sinnoh, Hoenn, and Kanto.

I’m good at drawing stuff when I get bored. I can draw a giant blob and do it with all the creases and stuff. I’m really good at computers and can do almost(not really) do anything if I spend time on it. I could definitely improve on math because I have a B average in it and I’m working hard to make it an A+ at the end of this term. I could work on improving at computers and creativity because I can’t find anything to do at home on a computer. I could improve at S.S because it’s a C- and it’s kinda poopy. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">I think Brian has no chance of being rescued and has to make a canoe and sails home instead. He has to survive in the wilderness and has to fight a moose and turns out to be a bloody mess. He also has to kill a bear and it turns out really bad. So he survives through the summer but has to go back into the plane and get the survival bag and uses that to protect himself from the harsh and dangerous elements. So he makes a new shelter and is able to make fire. So he kills a porcupine but gets struck in the leg and yanks them out later. Then he makes a spear and kills a couple fish and fool birds. Then he finds berries and makes a drink out of it. Trough out the story he basically barfs a lot. So he makes a lot survival gear and makes it....until he finds a plane over head...

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 17px; line-height: 19px;">As the novel is coming to a close, it is reaching it's climax. The climax is the most exciting part of the novel. What is happening in the book to lead you to think you are at the climax? Describe the action, how does it keep the reader's interest? What predictions would you make at this point?

dogman10 <span style="color: rgb(0, 68, 254); font-family: Arial; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">when he started to learn the wild and found a bag of stuff to help him. it helps him have a big thing to help him. that he is going to go home.

Brian would probably not get saved and have to stay in the wild. he finds out about how to stay in alive in the wild and what supplies to use. he learns about the animals and later makes names for them. then he gets a ride home and goes back and forth from his moms to his dads in canada! :-)
