Q3 Post6

One book that I think has a lot of hope about it, is Brian's Winter. This is a sequel to Gary Paulsen's Hatchet and offers an alternative ending where he isn't able to set off a radio signal that saves him. Brian figures out that he should get ready for winter and hope that nothing big, furry, and has claws doesn't decide to hibernate in his shelter. He also breaks his rifle, so now he hopes that he will be able to hunt again with his bow, which he does fine at. Also, he hopes that the winter won't be a really harsh one and that he will be able to stay warm enough even when he goes outside. One thing that I really like about the book and other books that Gary Paulsen writes is that he is able to make everything that he writes sound completely realistic even though it usually is an entirely fictional work. His descriptions as to what happens such as the rifle breaking, sound realistic and like something that could happen at any given time.
