I don’t think that I could, but that is what the main character of Hatchet, 13 year old Brian Robeson, had to do in order for there to be any chance to get to go home. Brian changed a lot throughout the story, mostly in good ways. He was a little city slicker, with no experience of doing anything, but when he was the only survivor of a plane crash, and was stranded in the Canadian Wilderness, he had to figure out what to do… even when things get hard. He got attacked by a vicious moose, and was hit by a tornado in the same day, and normally that would have made him want to end it all, but the new Brian did not give up, and restarted everything
