=So far, Brian has found himself distracted, disturbed and disgusted by his parents divorce. What type of conflict is this?= While reading chapter 1 in Hatchet, Brian is in a situation where he is disgusted and distracted by his parents recent divorce.He thinks why would his parents get a divorce,he never knew it would happen to him.I think that the conflict is Man vs. Man. Only because,Brian feels like hes dealing with the whole world just because of his parents divorce.It wants it all to end,its bothering him inside that he has to even deal with this type of situation. =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?

While reading the novel Hatchet,my mind complety exloded when the pilot had a Heart Attack right in front of the confused 13 year old.My reaction would be very loud and emotional.I would keep tapping my feet up and down,just thinking on what to do for the poor pilot,thats just laying in the seat gasping for breath.I would be crying my eyes out, thinking that I myself,might even die on this Bush plane,because I wouldnt know how to steer.Maybe I would come up with a plan to get some help,or calling people on the radio.And,I would be blessing all the people I love in my Life,just in case I would never get help on the Bush plane. In this chapter,ridicoulous things are already happening,because the novel is very exciting.But,of course I would try to help the pilot.I would try all the strength in my body to help the pilot wake up,or at least tell me what too do.I would be sweating out all the tears in me,to try to get him to at least speak,and give me directions so we both wont end up stranded in the wilderness,or anything else.I would also try to find anything in the plane to make contact with another person to come help us.The whole scene would be very bizzare,and I probley wouldnt forget for the rest of my Life.

**Dear Victoria, **
===**Thank you so much for taking a moment and really think about what is going on! This is a very descriptive answer! Go back and check your sentence structure and this is a very good paragraph one. In paragraph two, decide what you would do: help the pilot, try to fly the plane or something else? Don't say 'my opinion' or 'I think' and, again, rework your sentence structure. This is paragraph two - the inisight. Now, think about a world situation or another story about courage and connect it to your answer. Remember, this is a quiz grade so do your best! **===
