The novel is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian Robeson. He goes to meet his father in Canada, but when he’s in the plane heading for his father, something goes terribly wrong — the pilot of the plane gets a sudden heart attack. Brian is stranded (处于困境) in the Canadian wilderness after the plane crashes, with only a hatchet (手斧) and the clothes on his back. As the plane goes down in the story, the risks rise for Brian. That’s one reason why this book is so great. Gary Paulsen explains Brian’s troubles in simple words, but he also uses lots of those words to describe Brian’s troubles as well. One other reason is that it sparks (激发) your mind into reading or makes you start reading Gary Paulsen’s books. In this novel, the question is, “How will the main character survive?” So it’s obvious that this book is an adventure and a “man against nature” novel. As you have probably guessed, Brian suffers from hunger and searches for food and shelter. When Brian finds any kind of food, he feels as if he just found money in the street. The third reason why this book is so well thought of is the creativity Gary has put into Brian. Brian uses a lot of things in his surroundings in every way: a common stick can be a spear (矛) or an arrow. In a word, when you start this book, you won’t stop reading it until Brian is rescued. I feel that Gary Paulsen gave Brian Robeson life, and that’s what made Hatchet a great book. 1. What challenge does Brian have to face? A. He can hardly keep himself warm. B. He is too young to protect himself. C. It’s very difficult to find food. D. He has no tools with him. 2. What’s probably the ending of the story? A. The boy is found and saved. B.
