What was the saddest part of the book? How did you react? What word choices made you understand that this was a sad part?

What was the funniest part? Why did you think this was funny?

How did you feel about the ending of Hatchet? What were your reactions?

The saddest part to me was when Brian went up to the ridge to try to kill himself, the words he used to make me feel this way were cut, end, death, cutting, dark, and die. I was very disappointed that he would try to kill himself because a plane just turned around, even after all he had been through.,

The funniest part to me was when he talked about the skunk smell, he used the words cartoon, cute, and funny.

I didn't like the ending at all. I would have rathered it end slower.

I would have said get me out of here now please and thankyou

From Ms. W - I'm glad that you enjoyed this book! I also agree that that was the saddest part of the book. Good job sharing the word choice that the author used. I like that you stated that you were "disappointed that he would try to kill himself". Good addition of word choice to the funny part. Great job!

From Destiny- I wanted the end of the story to end slower too. I liked the way you worded your response. :).  

From: Aryanna I liked that your saddest part was when he was at the ridge and he tried to kill himself I agree too:) 😺👍

From: Enya- I liked that you would have like for it to have ended slower we kind of have a connection I just wish it had ended differently .👍

From Diamond- i like it  

rom: Christopher I'm glad it's over

From Hermiah

From Cristian- I didn't like the ending to 👎at all

What is the saddest part is for me is when he almost try to kill him self I said what?. Cut sadness. For me there is no funny part in book because the book is not a silly book.

I said why did he ask the ploit can you get me out of Here I been in the tundra and lost please get me out of here because my pilot had a heart attack and died. I didn't like the ending!

From Ms. W - I like that you had a reaction to the ending. How would you have written the ending differently? I would also want to leave if a pilot was there to rescue me; I wouldn't invite him to sit and have dinner with me, I'd want to get out of there and to my parents as fast as possible! Great job!

From Will - I agree that it was fun to read and that the saddest part was when he tried to committ suicide, and at the top it's survival

Form Diamond- I like it nice jod

From Ms. W - I like that you enjoyed this book! I like that you told me what you would say if you were in Brian's shoes and getting rescued. Why do you think he didn't say something like what you said?

Form Diamond- I like how you used the words like

From Destiny- I like how you used the hate at the end,it really showed your emotions toward the ending.  

From: Aryanna I like how you used your choice of words like at the end you used hate good job

From Miah- Umm! Yours sounds interesting. Love it.

From elena

Well the saddest part was when he tried to send the plane a signal and they didn't see him he was really trying for nothing that's sad. At first I wished he got rescued right then and there. Now I am glad he stayed because he became a man, he was a city boy now he is a country boy.  

The funniest part was at the end when he said do you want some thing to eat, when the man came to rescue him. I would have said "thank you for asking I would love to" then I would have sat down and joined him cause he have not had a person to eat or stay with him.

I think the ending didn't make sense to me cause that was how he got rescued that's not ending to me. They should have put him over exaggerated or something. I didn't like it cause he didn't do Anything .

From Ms. W - I really like that you can see that Brian staying in the wilderness is what propelled him (vocab word!) into being a man. Great job!

From Destiny- I feel the same way about the ending.

Edward- I really like this response because your responses make sense and I know what you are saying wen you do this response so I really like your comment

Diamond- I like how you used adventures

From Elena -like a lot of things you put in this response

From

The saddest part to me was when he wanted to kill himself, my reaction was horrified because I feel that no one should have to take their own lives, the reason why I felt this was the sad part is because he felt so low and so unworthy that he thought he should just stop living. The funniest part to me was the ending because when we discussed it we were saying,"that's how it ended" like to me it was funny how he did it, but he could have ended the story different I wanted more from the ending. 

The ending could been better, he could have ended it with Brian at home with his parents and how they felt and their reactions to him surviving out there in the wilderness. I felt so many emotions in this story, it felt like I was sitting with Brian I felt sorry for him even though this was just a story. I would ask the pilot if he had any children and I would ask him how he would feel if his child was in the wilderness all alone with wild animals and no one out here to help them. I hope the author makes a series to this, I really do!!!!!!!!!! This book has taught me to be more grateful with what I have and to be more humble. I hope other people read this book and get a good life lesson out of this.

From Ms. W. - I like your comment about "life lessons" and perseverance!! Great word choice. Remember, in the second question it asks about what word choice made you realize this was a sad part of the book? Can you add this, please? I like that you say that you had an emotional reaction to this story. I think it's great that this book taught you to be more grateful (good use of vocabulary here!) with what you have!.

-Will I agree with you on the life lessons you put in :)

Diamond- like how you used different words  

Aryanna I agree with you destiny you did good I really liked it

From Elena - I like how you showed your feelings in your response.

The sadness part of the book is that Brian was trying to cut himself with his hatchet. I had reacted sad because he was about to cut himself with his hatchet.The words he said was a curse word,cut,die, and death. I feel very sad about that part I would not cut my self with a hachet, I would not say I want to die or nothing like that. 

When we was reading the bookHow the way he was saying his words.

I felt disappointed about the ending. I had rathered it to end slow. But why would the end last fast that don't sound good. I would had rathered it to end slow not fast. I would had said, hay come and HELP me get out of here. I DONT WANT TO LIVE IN THE WILDERNESS. But If I was the pilot that was flying the plane. If I had saw someone in the wilderness with they hands up waving them I would go down there were he is and recuse him and take him where he is suppose to be at.  

From Ms. W - can you add more to what part of the book was funny? I don't seem to understand what you were saying here. Great job otherwise! I really like that you told me how you would react to the pilot arriving if you were Brian.

From: Aryanna you did good explaining it miah good job

From: Enya- I like that you would tell your friend to read the book if they wanted to know what happen.👍

From Elena - I like it and good job !

Diamond - good jod

From Cristian-cool 👍 great job

From Destiny- I like how you took words from the book to show how you felt toward it :).  

From:Emily very good job wording From:Christopher I like that you used the book

The saddest part was when the plane flew right over he's head and didn't even stop just kept going and turn back around and went over he's head again.

i think the Funniest part to me was at the end of the book Brian said you want something to eat. ending. My reaction was like yes he finally get to go see he's family. My feeling was positive and kinda negative because I was happy somebody found him but in my head I was thinking what if that pilot have a heart attack it would be the same thing starting all over again basically

From Ms. W - What a great start! I want you to add more to your reaction to the ending. Was it positive, negative, would you have written it differently? How did it make you feel?

From Diamond like it I think that u did a good jod!

From:Emily TRUE!

From Elena - looks nice and good job !!

From: Enya- I like that express your feelings on the ending.👍

From Hermiah - good job.

The saddest part to me was when Brian went up to the ridge and tried to kill himself. When he did that it made me kind of scared but I was mostly sad that Brian tried to kill himself. I did not think that their was a funny part but if I had to choose I would say the funniest part was when the an unknown pilot came to where Brian's camp was and Brian asked the pilot was he hungry because I would had been jumping up and down to get off that horrid island or whatever it was. When I herd the ending I was like omg this pilot Is here right now ready to take me home but Brian asked him was he hungry. Like really !!!!!!!! Would have been out of there faster than you can shake a stick

From Ms. W - I am glad that you enjoyed this book! I like that you told me what your reaction would have been when the rescue pilot came. Great connection! What does "  

From: Aryanna it's a really explanation you did Edward and good choice of words.

From: Enya- I liked the way you expressed you feelings about the ending.👍

From Diamond l like it it sounds good to me nice jod

From:Emily that is a really good!

From Hermiah- nice connections.:)

From Will-

The saddest part was when the plane came and did not see him so they flew away. So he tried to cut himself that really made me feel like he did not believe in himself anymore. Then when he woke up the next morning and saw the cuts on his arm he was like why would I try to kill myself I to much to live for. So when he realized that if he kill himself that if someone did come he wouldn't know me cause he was died.

The funniest part to me was when a rescuer got there and asked him was he ready to go and he ask the man did he want something to eat. I just wish there was more to it so we could know if they really sat down and ate. If it was me I would sit down and eat because I would feel famous and I would also feel bad for him because he has been out here all alone with no one to talk to.

I would ask the pilot if he would like to stay the night, and see how it felt. Then if he said yes I would make a feast, and when we wake up the next morning I would ask him to reflect the night he spent then we would go home it he wanted to and tell everyone our experience. 

I hated the ending because it didn't end right. Like I'm use to reading books with a surprise ending and this one wasn't surprising. When I heard the ending I was like 😟 really. I wish it had ended different so we could see if he got home safe and what everyone's reaction was. From:Christopher I liked it so far because you explained it good

From: Aryanna I like yours because it is how you explained it it's really so good right now

From Ms. W - What a great start, I liked that you made connections to yourself and how you would feel and react. What an interesting question you would ask the pilot who rescued you! I never thought of a question like that. Keep up the great work!

From Will- I like the way you stated everything  

Edward- I really like your comment makes a lot of sense

From:Emily I really like the way you worded it and I definitely agree with you!

From Elena - I like it and nice job !!!!

From Diamond - I like how you used different words good jod !

From Hermiah -

Edward- our ending is practically the same

From Ms. W - I like your word choice to descibe Brian's perseverance.

From Diamond I like it it sound good

From Destiny-I like the way you said it has a lot of meaning to you.

From Elena - I like how you explained things
