Hatchet - Blog Response #3

At chapter 13 in the book, it has been 48 days and Brian is still having problems dealing with being alone and not knowing what to do or how to accomplish things. He feels as if his family has left him behind. He has never been taught anything about surviving after your plane has crashed. He can't seem to catch fish with a spear or hunt anything for that matter. He eventually comes to think that he will not die and he compares the Brian he is now to the Brian he was before, weak. He starts to make the perfect bow so that he can catch fish faster. Brian is still gaining a lot of knowledge and what he learns paves the way for the next day.
