This term my reading group has been reading a novel called 'Hatchet'. Here is a brief summary of chapters 1-4. 13 year old Brian Robeson was going on a plane to the Canadian oil fields to visit his father. He had a hatchet on his belt buckle but did not have to take it off for his flight as their was only him and the pilot on the plane. Then the pilot was rubbing his shoulder in pain and he had a heart attack leaving Brian on a plane by himself. He tried to use the radio to get help but had no idea of where he was and his flight number. Brian then had no choice but to fly the plane himself but he crashed it because there was no fuel left in the plane. Brian's plane crashed into an L shaped lake and he managed to escape out of the plane and drag himself onto the grass of the forest. He was in pain and aching all over especially the pain in his head was throbbing with each beat of his heart. Their were bugs that were biting him and he had swollen hands and eyes trying to stop the bugs. He was so tired and dizzy and weak trying to lean against a tree but he couldn't and went to sleep instead.
If I was in Brian's position I would have felt scared and wouldn't have thought to fly the plane. I think it was good that Brian flew the plane because I would not have been that brave. I would have tried a lot more to use the radio and make sure

My predictions for chapter 5 are:
- He will try to find someone to help him.
- Someone will find him.
- He will use the hatchet to cut down trees and build a shelter.
