Hatchet- by Gary Paulsen
Hatchet is the coming age story of a teenage boy who finds himself lost, alone and clinging to life after the single engine cessna he was travelling on crashes in the Canadian Rockies.
This novel explores the themes of survival and perseverance as we observe Brian Robeson, the main character, struggling to survive in the beautiful, yet challenging Rocky Mountain terrain.
In ELA 7, we are preparing to read the story by discussing our personal connections to the themes, plotline, character and setting.
Tomorrow we will continue preparing to read the novel by familiarizing ourselves with the setting and the skills required to survive in the the wilderness. We will be be viewing Les Stroud, also known as 'Survivorman,' in his real-life documentary "Stranded."
