RESPONSE QUESTION FOR HATCHET, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2015

HELLO, FABULOUS FIFTH GRADE!  BELOW IS YOUR RESPONSE QUESTION FOR HATCHET:

Brian has seen the tail of the plane sticking up from the water as a result of the tornado.  His mind begins to think about a survival pack in the plane.  Brian thinks, "If I could get at the pack and just get some of those things, I would be rich.  So rich, if I could get at the pack".  Explain what Brian means when he says he will be "so rich".

  1. 1. I think when it said " I would be rich" means that he would have better things then what he has now.In the survival packet it would be made by something more finer then by stuff from what Brian made from the wilderness. Brian has made all his resources from the woods. In the survival kit it would have more valuable things. ~ Camryn

  2. I think what Brian is meaning when he says he will be ''so rich'' is that he knows the survival pack has alot of good things, one thing might just expand his life. If there are all those good things, it will not matter what he gets, as long as it will help him out in surviving. If he gets the whole pack, He will be REALLY rich because there might just be enough for a whole week and he would not have so much to worry about. He would have better resources, or materials, to help him. He would have extra food, water, and maybe even some new things like tools. The food and water would help him save energy by not having to hunt AND give him energy. The tools would help him hunt after all the food was gone and make MORE tools. He would be rich as a king in his mind because of how poor he was out in the wild.

  3. I think that when Brian says I would be rich if he found the survival pack it means that if he found the survival pack he would have much more valuable things to work with to survive. It would make him rich with survive things that he needs to have not money that like he said was worthless out in the woods when he used his 20 dollar bill to start the fire. He now has tools made out of wood and carved by his hatchet and if he found the survival pack it would have better made tools and stronger tools and that would help because he was only left with his hatchet and part of his bow an arrow after the tornado. If he found it then all the stuff in it would be an upgrade from what the has now. ~ Cami Adams

  7. 1) What Brian means by " I will be so rich" is that he will have some stuff that will help him to survive. That stuff would be the things that he has in the city.... things don't have to be made by him in the wilderness. He remembers things like bandages, matches food, and a sleeping bag that were in there. This stuff he doesn't have to make they are all there. This are things that only won't help him survive but keep him comfortable. For example he will get to sleep in a sleeping bag and not on sticks

  9. #1. When Brian says he'll be rich it doesn't mean that he's going to be rich as in money but he will have things he could use to survive with because it is a survival pack it could hold water, food, matches and other things he would be rich as in tools or things he needs to survive.

    1. Good job Sally I like how you listed things that should most likely be in the survival pack that Brian would need.

  10. When Brian said "be rich" I think he meant that he would have more food and survival things that he needs since he has nothing left from when the tornado hit.

  12. Brian means that the survival pack is full of very important things to make his survival chances higher and much, much easier. Also Brian can use the survival pack's contents to, potentially save his life with food, water, or matches. That survival pack is very important.

  13. Brian says he would be “so rich” because he is living in the woods where he doesn’t have much, but if he found the survival pack he would be rich in survival resources. He already has a lot of survival tools, like his hatchet, fish spear, fish bowl, foolbird, etc., and if he got the survival pack, who knows what he would find in it? He could find matches, knives, food, water, sleeping bags, a coat, a first aid kit, etc. Brian is always working and if he got a survival pack he wouldn’t have to work as hard. He wouldn’t have to do as much work to find food, because there might already be food from the survival pack.

  14. He meant that he would be so rich becaese as of this point in time he has only eaten the same thing over and over again. There might be drinks and he said it might have matches and that would help him start fire without difficultly.

  15. 1. When Brian says he would be "so rich" he doesn't mean he would be rich with money but that he would be rich with things he needed to survive. Although he hasn't seen what's inside the pack he has an idea of what is in it. So if he could get to the pack he would have at least some of the things it states in the book these would make him rich with survival items. Another way to think of this is that the things in the pack would be very valuable in the sense that they are gonna help him survive. So since he has no money and money is worth nothing in the wilderness that isn't valuable to him but things that will help him survive are.

  16. 1. What Brian means by " I would be so rich. So rich if I could get at the pack" is that he would have plenty of things that he needs to survive. Since Brian is out in the wilderness his life before he got stranded has been put into perspective and now just that one survival pack ( to him ) is equal to all the money in the world because money is just worthless paper in the wilderness.

  17. #1.)I think what Brian means by saying ''so rich'' is that the things in the survival pack have plenty of tools that can help him survive. Getting the things in the pack would be like going from having nothing to having plenty.

  18. What I think he means is he will be rich in food, (clean) water and supplies. Brian is in the wilderness, so do you expect him to have a metal fishing rod unless he takes it into the wilderness? No. Do you expect him to have clean water for the same reason? No. Do you expect him to have food like a hamburger or pizza for also the same reason? No. What I'm trying to say is, the survival pack doesn't have money in it, it has survival equipment like the things I mentioned. Rich can mean a lot of money or it can mean a lot of one thing, like you can be rich in food and rich in clean water.

  19. 1. I think Brian means that the pack will have many things in it that are valuable to him. They might help him survive while he has no tools except his hatchet. He might find food and purified water in the pack so he would get some food besides light meat. It might have tools, too so he can replace the ones he had lost in the tornado.

    1. I like your response. Keep them up just like that. I like how you added purified water compared to the murky water.

  20. I think that Brian means that he would be rich because he would have so much more stuff that could help survive. Since they are handmade and from the city he would know how to use whatever was in the safety kit. It wouldn't take time to carve it or anything. If he got hurt there might be medicine so the pain would go away faster. This is what I think Brian means.

  21. 1. I think Brian means that survival would be easier because he wouldn't have to make fire, hunt and get wood for the fire witch would mean he could relax and take a break.

  22. I think "so rich" means that he knows that what is in the pack is things meant for if they had to crash down during the flight and it could help with any medical supplies needed to cover any bruises and may have flashlights, water, etc. and so he could really use these things to survive. Sense he had to crash land the survival pack will be useful to him. Also he could get matches from the kit to start a fire as well as some canned foods maybe.

  23. I think what he meant by when he said, "so rich" was that he wasn't rich in money or happiness, but from his point of view it is rich to him. Since the tornado, he lost most of his resources except for his hatchet, but the pack could have food, weapons, an extra communication device, etc. If he had this now it would be like his "money" he just got his pack. ~Kelly Lee

  24. When Bryan says he'd be rich he means he would have more resources and he would have more things especially after he lost it all
