1) In Chapter 10, Brian refers to himself as a "City Boy". Even though he's really hungry he is still thinking that eating bugs and raw eggs is kind of gross. Even though there is no one around him to see or judge him, he is still concerned about what he looks like. And when he sees the turtle tracks in the sand he thinks about the animal as playing in the sand even though he knows that animals are normally working, not playing because they have to to survive.
Contrast this to Chapter 11 and 12 and some of the ways Brian is thinking and acting more "instinctively" or more "primal" instead of such a "city boy". Give some examples. How does this attitude of working and thinking change Brian's success?
2) Often the themes in novels fall into one or more of the following categories:
Man vs Man
Man vs Nature
Man vs Himself
Can you give an example of each of these from Hatchet?
3) Brian begins to really think instead of just survive. He is starting to think creatively and invent tools and strategies. Describe his thinking as he worked on his spear.
4) At the end of Chapter 12 Brian is back to feeling hopeless. What happens that shakes the confidence he has been building back to reality?
1) Examples of city boy are eating modern day foods.

Man Himself Don't get down on yourself you might get mad at have an accident.
3)He used a rock to sharpen the spear and he thought of food.
4) The plane doesn't see him and he gets down himself he doesn't think he will be found and he cries about it.
Great answers! I still wonder what he must look like by this time, don't you?
