Just finishing to read the short novel-The Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. It's a good book basically about a young teenage boy named Brian. Brian's parents are divorced and he is flying in a private plane with only one pilot to his father for the vacation. But, when he realizes that in the middle of the flight the pilot gets a heart attack, Brian is left only with that plane, and the pilot dead:( That's when he realizes that he might get killed. He starts to try to steer the plane, in order to at least land in the water, not on the tree to not get killed. It will take all his will and knowledge to survive. When he finally does land in the water and survive, that's still not the end of his adventures. He lands in the middle of a small abandoned Canadian island, where there are no people at all. He doesn't even know where is he in the world, because when the plane was flying it turned around, and Brian doesn't know how much it lied the other way. Now, it will take all of his will and hope and knowledge to survive in that Canadian island, where he has only animals to count on. He is left with nothing only the Hatchet that his mother gave him for good luck, and twenty dollar bill, which he later torn into pieces. This book showed me that knowledge is the power, to basically everything! You never know what will happen to You!! Like Brian, everything was supposed to be normal and just right- he was supposed to land in his father's house, and eat a big hot meal, but instead he is all alone, no food, and nothing! In that book he's trying to point out that Food is everything. Throughout the book Brian is searching for food everywhere-in the forests, in the lakes,etc...etc...
