You be the judge….Brian Robeson is very brave.
Brian is brave because he landed the plane all by himself. He also went hunting, fishing, made a fire, and built a fort.
When he saw the plane crash he made his own raft and paddled
over to it. He dove into the plane and got the survival pack.
This was very brave.

You be the judge….The main character of the book Hatchet, Brian
Robeson, is extremely resourceful and intelligent. On page 123, it explains how “Brian
had sat a whole night and shaped the limbs carefully until the bow looked beautiful.” Not only did Brian patiently make a bow and arrow
to hunt, but he was able to make this using only the materials around him. Brian, a city boy, was
able to survive being stranded in the wilderness, a very incredible accomplishment
that shows tremendous skill and determination.
