Brian is going to see his dad, but then the plane crashes and stuff so yeah...
the plane was going down because the pilot had a heart attack
Brian used his hatchet to strike a rock against the blade at a certain angle, creating sparks that ignited the dry grass. To keep the fire going, he carefully fed it sticks and branches of increasing size.
a plane came over is head and brian somehow made him know he was there. A plane came over where he got stranded and he had a fire going and signaled the pilot.
Brian tried to make fire using a hatchet to create sparks on a rock. He learned about this method from a book and eventually succeeded in starting a fire after several attempts.
In chapter 3 of "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, Brian continues to struggle with his circumstances in the wilderness after the plane crash. He begins to realize the seriousness of his situation and the need to find ways to survive on his own. Brian starts to take inventory of his meager supplies and attempts to make a fire with the hatchet he salvaged from the plane wreckage.
In Chapter 1 of "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, Brian boards a small single-engine plane to visit his father in the Canadian oil fields. As the pilot experiences a heart attack mid-flight, Brian tries to reach the controls but is unable to. The chapter ends with Brian's realization that he is alone and that the plane is going down.
In the book "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, "receded" refers to the water level going down or moving back. It often describes how the water level of the lake changes as Brian's survival journey progresses.
