    5. I agree with you on question #1 because I would walk slowly so he doesn't get startled and come running after me.

      Delete
  4. 1.I think that if I encountered a bear I would pretend I was dead because I heard that that is what you should do, so I would of not ran like Brian did.

    2. I think that the main events in chapter 1-7 are ,the divorce, the man, the pilot having a heart attack, Brian finding water, Brian making a shelter, Brian finding food,and the bear Brian encountered.

  5. 1. Thinking back on our most recent chapters of Hatchet, specifically, Chptr. 7, when Brian encounters the bear, is there anything that you would have done differently if you had been Brian in that situation? Explain. Be specific.
    In Brians situation in theplane crash I would have went down as soon as I found a BIG body of water, In Brians encounter with the bear I would have thrown some berries past him hoping the bear would turn around; then I would grab my hatchet and go slowly till out of site then start to run.

  6. 1.) I would of probably would have carefully stepped away from the bush the freeze, or stand still like a statue if I was Brian when he ran into the bear. I would also be surprised that the bear did not touch me if I was Brian.

    Divorce
    the secret
    Plane crash

  8. 1. If I encountered a bear in the woods I would try to hide in a nearby bush or shrub, but if there are no bushes or shrubs I would take out my hatchet and try to scare the bear away.

    2. here are some of the things that caused suspense in the story
    The mystery man
    The divorce
    The heart attack
    The "clean" water
    The bear
    These things caused suspense in the novel because they made you feel inquisitive and curious, and made you want to read on.

    1. It didn't say the water was "clean"

    2. Yes, but if you look in the text it says the water is clear with no bugs so Brian ASSUMES that the water is the clean.

      Delete
  9. 1.I would have run away because bears are very deadly and can kill you

    2. The things I think caused suspense (No Order) in Chptr.1-7 are:
    1. The divorce
    2. The pilot's death
    3. Brian's hunger
    4. "Nothing"
    5. The Secret
    6. "Alone"
    7. The bear
    8. The crash

  10. 1. If I were to encounter a bear such as Brian did, I would be scared out of my socks to the point where I would probably faint. If I did not faint,(or die from a panic attack) I would take my hatchet and run as fast as my legs would take me to my ''home.''

    2. Here are some events that led to suspense in the novel:
    The divorce
    The heart attack
    Being alone
    If Brian would find food
    The bear
    The strange man
    The crash
    The secret
    Will Brian find shelter
    Berries

  17. 1. Thinking back on our most recent chapters of Hatchet, specifically, Chptr. 7, when Brian encounters the bear, is there anything that you would have done differently if you had been Brian in that situation? Explain. Be specific. I would not have have done anything different, but I would have pretended I was dead because that is what you are supposed to do when you see a black bear.

    1. I like your number two answer a lot, but in number 1 why would you run off because then the bear would most likely think that you were food because you moved.

      Delete
    2. For number 1 wouldn't the bear always be quicker than you, and if you scream out loud the bear will sense fear and eat you and it wouldnt do any good because there's no one to hear you scream either.

      Delete
    3. sorry and if you scream it might provoke another bear or dangerous animal and add on to the chase

      Delete
    4. I liked your answer for number two but i think you could have listed them in order, and for number one if you do run an=way and scream that would most likely attract the bear more. ~Kelly Lee

  21. 1. If I would have been Brian I would have done exactly what he did. I would be a statue, but if the bear started walking toward me then i would probably take out my hatchet (since that's all Brian had) and defend myself.

  23. 1. I think that if i was in a situation where a bear was that close to me, I would stand still and wouldn't move a muscle until it was gone but if it had charged,
    would have ran to camp

    2. the pilot had a heart attack and died

    Brian crashed the plane in to a small lake

    Brian got attacked by mosquitoes and horseflies

  26. 1.I would just stay there and stood still and watch the bear because if he would want meat he would kill me but he just wanted raspberries. 2.The main events that happened will be in order; the man, the divorce, the pilots heart attack, the crash, the water supply, the gut cherries, the shelter, the raspberries and the bear.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 1. If I saw the bear I would not have stayed there like Brian did I would have ran away the second I saw the bear and I wouldn't have looked back.
    2. Some events tat caused suspense were the pilot's heart attack,Brian alone in the plane,the plane crashing,Brian alone in the wilderness,and Brian seeing the bear
