Making Meanings
 * 1) Why does Brian agree to take the hatchet from his mother?

Consider this... Brian was sitting in a bushplane roaring seven thousand feet above the northern wilderness with a pilot who had suffered a major heart attack and who was either dead or in something close to a coma. ASSI!
 * What would be your first reaction to this situation?
 * Would you try to help the pilot or try to fly the plane?

In the novel Hatchet, Brian agreed to take the hatchet from his mother because he was giving his mother the silent treatment and new that she didn't like the silent treatment that he was giving her. When Brian was on the plane roaring seven thousand feet with the pilot having a heart attack i would have tried to help the pilot first theni would try to stop the plane from crashing into something. The reaction that i would feel would be scared because would if the plane crashed and Brian couldn't get help to save him. My reaction to his heart attack would be frighting beacuse would if he died right there and then Brian didn't know how to fly a plane or know how to save him with CPR. The thing that i would do was try to fly the plane because when i was flying the plane i could call someone to help the pilot. Then i would either call someone or try to find the nearest hospital in the plane and figure something out and to see if the pilot was okay and see if he could fly us to where we needed to belong.

In the bushplane when Brian was in the plane i would change how he tried to give the pilot CPR, i would try to drive the plane then i would try to help the pilot and get him out of the plane and try to help him getting out of his heart attack. I would also drive the plane to the nearest hospital and then take him into there and get a doctor to help. But the thing is how would they get home? In this novel i think that i would try to ask the hospital to use their phone and call someone to help me get out of the hospital. If this was my story i would try to make Brian take this guy to the hospital and get help as fast as i could. Then i would of tried to atleast help the pilot even if Brian couldn't find a hospital that way he could atleast try to help him instead of just letting him suffer.
