The story Brian’s winter by gary paulsen takes place after the book Hatchet if he wouldn't have gotten recused. Now he has to brave a canadian winter. The theme of this book is to pay attention to what is going on around you. I know this because brian hasn't been paying attention to what is going on around him like winter changing and the animals acting different. It has been getting ccolder and colder each day and he just doesn't notice it as a sign of winter.
The first detail that shows this theme is on page 21 When the text reads. “Brian had become his own worst enemy

    My Ins On Hatchet Book Report

    This is my INS on Hatchet. The book was written by Gary Paulsen the author that also wrote previous book I did an INS on. The book is set in the Canadian woods. I'm not sure what time period this book takes place in because it doesn't say in the book. I'm guessing somewhere in the 1980's or 90's. Now I will summarize the story of this book. The story is about Brian Robeson, a 13 year old boy who is going to visit his dad in Canada after his parents' divorce. He goes from Hampton, New York to Canada on a small plane. The driver has a heart attack and dies. Brian takes over the controls and crashes into the woods. Brian is now stranded all by himself in these woods. He thinks that he will be rescued, but that doesn’t end up happening. He finds berries and other types of foods and uses those to eat. Skip all the way to the end and a tornado strikes his area and destroys his shelter. After that, he notices that the tail of the plane has emerged and he goes into it and gets the survival pack. In it, he finds a transmitter and it calls a rescue helicopter thing to him. He then gets rescued. That is pretty much bigger main parts of the book. I chose this book for INS because I said that there are some similar things about this book and the one I did previously and that interested me so I decided to do this book for my ins. I also wanted to read this book again because I forgot some of the stuff that happens throughout the book.…

    While writing Brian's Winter, which “imagined what it would have been like if Brian had not gotten rescued [at Hatchet’s end] and had to live through the winter,” Paulsen disagreed with his editors, who told him he couldn’t “have Brian sleeping in a snow cave because he would die,” and argued his point from personal experience: “I told them, ‘No, I've been in snow caves. It's okay.’ I was trying to tell them that snow caves are safe for one night. You've got to move every day, because the ice starts to melt over your head."…

    Siege Chapter 17 Summary

    When the first snow falls, Anna always goes to the Summer Garden. There, the noise of the city is muffled, and the park is eerily luminous. Small, naked­looking sparrows hop from twig to twig, dislodging a powder of snow. The trees are lit up like candelabra by the whiteness they hold in their arms. Underfoot, she hears for the first time the squeak of snow packing into the treads of her boots. She bends down, scoops up a handful of the new snow, throws it up into the air and watches it scatter into powdery fragments as it falls for the second time. And although she’s cold and she ought to get home, she always stays much longer than she means to, because she knows that this feeling won’t come again for another year. The snow will continue to fall, thaw, freeze, turn grey with use, be covered again and again by fresh blizzards. But nothing again will have the freshness, exhilaration and loneliness of the first snowfall. She’s the one thing still warm and alive in a world which is going to sleep.…

    Literary Realism in Ethan Frome

    Edith Wharton describes what the landscape looks like in that part of the country during the winter months. "Day by day, after the December snows were over, a blazing blue sky poured down torrents of light and air on the white landscape, which gave them back an intenser glitter"(3). This particular description of the snows in this part of the country describes a simple fact in a manner that the reader can understand and eventually come to, not just acknowledge, but deepen their own sense that this could be a factual tale.…

    A Joshua dreads the winter months, not only because of the cold New England weather--the sleet, snow, wind, and rain--but because as the seasons change from summer to fall to winter, the days get shorter.

A graduate student in philosophy, Joshua finds that he gets little work done during the winter months and has trouble paying attention in class and concentrating on his research.
