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?

i picked the first one why brian agree to take the hatchet from his mother? he took the hatchet because he felt bad for not talking to his mother

Dear Colin,

Take a moment and really think about what is going on with Brian. How does he feel? What's happening in his life? THEN, look at question 1 and make a sentence that restates the question as you answer it. Be descriptive! Be complete! THEN, read #2. Really think about what Brian is living through, about Brian's personality and then think about your personality. What is YOUR first reaction? Describe it...what emotions are you feeling? Are you saying anything? That is your first part, the A. Think about examples from the story that support your answer. Write them out in complete sentences and explain them. This is paragraph one. In paragraph two, decide what you would do: help the pilot, try to fly the plane or something else? 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!

Warm Regards, Mrs. Stard
