In the book Hatchet when Brian first get fire is when he is asleep and a porcupine comes and Brian throws the hatchet at the porcupine. The thing was Brian missed and sent the hatchet flying at the wall. Then the porcupine sent quills at Brian into his leg. The next morning  Brian looked at the wall and saw sparks marks and then he thought if he hit the wall with the hatchet than he could start fire.  In  Survival by the Numbers Peter said,”What are  priorities – fire first or shelter?”  Peter said that you have to have fire. Brian had to use fire a lot in the book.

He uses the shelter to protect him from the rain and some animals. After he builds the shelter, Brian uses his hatchet to make spears and arrows. He takes branches and sharpens the tip of them to make arrows and spears. "He had worked on the fish spear until it had become more then just a tool. He shoots the arrows at birds and throws the spears at fish. "I know about fire; I know I need fire." Brian says this the second night he's there. Brian needs a fire because he needs it for heat, to cook food and to keep animals away. Brian makes the fire with his hatchet and a rock. First, he figures out that he needs some paper so he takes his 20-dollar bill and tries to burn it. Unfortunately, the bill just burns right out and leaves him with no fire. After that, he takes his hatchet and cuts small pieces of bark. Then he piles them up under twigs. Then he takes his hatchet and hits a rock with a great blow and sparks catch the bark on fire. He hits another blow and the sparks catch the twigs on fire. Therefore, he has a fire. This process shows that whatever Brian sets his mind to he can do it.

There were many useful things in there like bandages and matches. Couple months later, just before winter was going to hit a man shows up in a plane. The guy in the plane was the man Brian had talked

So I was a bit frightened and start this book with anxiety. However, the book was about a young boy whose name is Brian Robeson and he had left alone in Canadian wilderness owing to an accident.

If you were put into the middle of nowhere with nothing to live off of, no tools, no food, no water, how would you do it? In class, we read a book called Hatchet. The boy named Brian had to survive with only a hatchet in the wilderness for over two months. He obviously had many different traits that had to change to adapt from his spoiled life in the city, to his new life in the forest with nothing.

Additionally, I believe that the effects of isolation and silence would take their toll quickly, and that I would go out of my mind before rescue. In view of my own personal shortcomings, I would not survive living primitively alone for 54 days.
