Brian needed the lake because he was stranded in the forest after a plane crash, and the lake provided a source of fresh water for him to drink. Without access to clean water, he would not have been able to survive for very long. Additionally, the lake was a potential source of fish for food, helping him meet his basic survival needs.
how does brain in the book hatchet think about the fire.
In the novel hatchet the best parts was when Brian swims across the lake to get the emergency supplies from the plane. I think the best part is after he goes home, when he's comparing his life then with the life he lived after the plane crashed.
Dumb, idiotic, and that book sucks
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 the book "Hatchet," Brian needs to find a specific type of wood that is straight and flexible to make a bow. He also needs to find a piece of fishing line or thread to use as the bowstring.
Brian felt it was important to keep himself busy with tasks in order to maintain a sense of purpose, routine, and to distract himself from the harsh realities of his situation. By staying occupied, he could also keep his mind sharp and focused on survival.
Brian's successful use of the hatchet to make fire boosts his confidence and survival skills. The encounter with the bear teaches Brian about fear, instinct, and staying calm under pressure. Building a shelter, finding food, and mastering survival skills over time gradually make Brian physically and mentally stronger.
I desperately need food and water to survive.
Even if u make a small mistake u can almost never have the chance to fix it in the wild so when he droped his hatchet it was a HUGE mistake and if he lost it he was screwed
Brian was riding in a bushplane to visit his father in the Canadian oil fields for the summer. However, the pilot of the bushplane suffers a heart attack and Brian is forced to crash land in the Canadian wilderness, leading to the events of the novel "Hatchet."
Brian feels that it is more important for others to know his location because he's aware that he is lost and in need of rescue. Not knowing where he is creates a sense of isolation and helplessness, whereas if others knew his location they could potentially come to his aid.
When Brian says "discoveries happen because they need to happen" in the book "Hatchet," he means that sometimes circumstances or events align in such a way that new knowledge or insights become apparent or necessary for survival. It suggests that certain discoveries are a result of the situation and environment pushing an individual to uncover them.
