Hatchet is a fictional book that is meant to be inspirational to young readers. Gary Paulsen (the author) did, however, was inspired by different events in his lifetime to compose parts of the book.
You can read Gary Paulsen's book Guts to get an understanding of his inspirations.
Yes, "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen is inspired by the author's own experiences and is a work of fiction. While the story itself is not true, Paulsen drew upon his own survival skills and adventures in the wilderness to create a realistic and gripping tale of survival.
No, it is not. Gary Paulsen made this book for young readers who would love a good 'ol action/survival story. I am almost done with the book myself, while my older sibling has read it and they claim it to be "The Best Book I've Ever Read" type of answer. I definitely recommend Hatchet for your next book report or just for fun! All in all, Hatchet is a fictional story.
I for one think Hatchet is based on a fiction I think the author Gary Paulsen just started brain storming one day and came up with a best seller I know you think its not possible but it is it can happen like Shell Silverstine I know she writes poems but there pretty GOOD and by good I mean AWESOME do agree i think this book could be better.
