Hatchet Timeline Assignment

Plane Crash

1 CE

Once the pilot had a heart attack, Brian was forced to crash land into a "L" shaped lake. The plane was mostly destroyed at that point because he didn't have another proper and safe landing area so he freaked out and landed whichever place was the closest since the lane was almost out of gas.

Gut Cherries

2

The birds had basically led him to the bush where he found the gut cherries. The cherries were about half the size of grapes and they hung like grapes too, but they were not grapes. Brian eagerly repeatedly stuffs his mouth with the berries since he hasn't eaten in days. He spit them out because they weren't as sweet as he thought they would be, in fact, they were bitter and dry.

Bear Encounter

3

After Brian had found raspberries (which tasted way better than the gut cherries he had yesterday), he saw a bear at the same raspberry bush that he was picking berries at. Instead of running or screaming and freaking out, he just stood there frozen, waiting for the bear to finish collecting their raspberries and leave.

Porcupine Attack

4

Brian heard a slithering noise and realized it was a porcupine. He attempted to throw his hatchet that he had received from his mom a few days ago at the porcupine. Sadly, he missed the throw and the porcupine badly reacted and stabbed what felt like 100 quills in his leg.

The Fire

5

Once Brian had woken up from his dream, he immediately started to work on the fire he planned to make that day. At first, he tried using dried grass, some twigs, and a twenty dollar bill he had brought with him, but they all failed him. He thought back to science since he recalled that he had learnt this one day. After a little bit of thinking, he realized that the thing he was missing was paper. Nearby there were some trees with peeling bark.

The Dream

6

After the porcupine attack, he has a breakdown and cries, then soon falls asleep. In the first event of his dream, he's with his dad in the living room attempting to tell Brian something. His dad's lips made a "Mmmmmmmm" sound but nothing came out. Soon later, the image of his dad slowly faded away. The second part of Brian's dream was Terry sitting in the park looking at the barbecue and using the coal, Terry made a fire.

Turtle Eggs

7

Brian had woken up and heard slithering. It didn't sound like a porcupine, because whatever this was, it was dragging itself along the sand. He didn't really think much of it and fell back asleep. He woke up again around early dawn and had seen claw marks in the sand near the lake. And there he saw it, seventeen white eggs the size of tennis balls. He realized the thing that was in his shelter earlier was a turtle. Brian went to the lake and sucked down the egg as fast as he could.

The Fish

8

Brian had just seen a bird grab a fish from the water and felt like if the bird could do it, he could do it too. He decided to use some willows that he found along the lake to make his spear. Sadly, the fish spear didn't work due to the fact that the fishes were just too fast. He discovered that if he launched the spear somehow, he would be able to get to the fish. He realized that he needed to make a bow and arrow of some sort to do this.

New Brian

9

Brian was standing at the long part of the "L" shaped as he was looking for fish and those foolish birds (which he named fool birds). It had been 47 days since the crash, and 42 days since he had shifted from that mindset into a new one. He had become more aware of things instead of just ignoring them, and he had learned to accepting his mistakes unlike before, where he would've gotten frustrated or angry when something would go awry.

First Meat

10

Brian wanted to get the fool birds, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to be able to catch them at the right moment. The part that made him frustrated was that, a fool bird could be right in front of him, and he wouldn't notice until the bird flew away. After about twenty attempts, Brian was ready to give up. He watched another fool bird fly away and there he got it, it was the shape of the fool bird. It was shaped like a pear, a flying pear.

The Moose

11

It was a regular day, Brian had just caught a bird using his new arrow and he was washing it in the lake. Right behind him, there it was, a moose. She picked him up using the horns on her forehead and threw him in the lake and came back to finish him. He came above water for a half second until the moose yanked him back into the water for the second time, filling his eyes with mud. After he was able to take a breather, the moose saw him move and slammed him for the fourth time.

The Tornado

12

While Brian was sleeping, he heard a noise. A noise he had never heard before, it was low and roaring sound. The flames of the fire started to quickly burn out and after thinking back, he realized it was a tornado. It was too late to do anything; He was whipped from the front of his shelter, out into the lake. Everything he had worked for the past few weeks was destroyed and thrown into the lake with him.

Survival Kit

13

When Brian woke up, he was able to start another fire and build another shelter, not as good, but still livable. He noticed the tail of the plane sticking out and thought that there might be a survival kit inside of the plane. He had found some logs and used some shoestring to make a raft to get close enough to the plane. Once Brian got there he realized the water was too murky and he was blocked from getting inside. He decided to use the hatchet and after about three hits, it had worked.

Rescue

14

In the survival pack there were so many unbelievable things. A sleeping bag, pots, pans, food, first aid and many more. But one of the items that stood out to him was the Emergency Transmitter. He flicked it up and down and decided that it was useless and dropped it. He wanted to salvage the food for other days but today he was going to have a feast. Once he was almost done making and cooking his food, he saw a plane landed by lake.
