Hatchet Quiz Chapters 17 & 18

The survival pack will include essential items such as food, matches, pots, medicine, and a compass. These items are necessary for survival in the wild as they provide sustenance, the ability to start a fire for warmth and cooking, tools for preparing food and navigating, and medicine for potential injuries or illnesses. Books on surviving in the wild, insect spray, and clothes may also be useful, but they are not mentioned in the given answer.

Before going to sleep, Brian remembered that inside the plane was the survival pack.

Brian named his raft "Brushpile" because it is a creative and unique name that reflects his personality and interests. It suggests that Brian is resourceful and imaginative, using whatever materials he could find to build his raft. Additionally, the name "Brushpile" implies a sense of adventure and exploration, as if the raft will take Brian on exciting journeys through nature. Overall, the name "Brushpile" captures Brian's character and the spirit of his raft.

Brian decided to get to the plane by building a raft. This means that he constructed a floating platform using materials like wood or logs to navigate the water and reach the plane.

Before Brian could rebuild his shelter, he had to build a fire. This is because building a fire is a basic survival skill that is necessary for providing warmth, cooking food, and providing light and protection against wild animals. Without a fire, Brian would not be able to perform other tasks such as cooking supper or defending himself against hungry squirrels. Therefore, building a fire is the first priority before starting any other tasks.

As Brian was trying to cut into the side of the plane, he dropped the hatchet to the bottom of the lake.

Brian cut into the fuselage with his hatchet, cutting away triangles of metal which he kept for fish arrowhead or lures.

Brian is unable to get inside the plane because all openings, including the door and windows, are under water.

Getting the survival bag was difficult because it was inside the plane, underwater, and caught on the seats.

The passage describes the beauty of the lake in a very detailed and vivid way, using words like "exploded," "blew it up," and "lit the trees." This creates a strong visual image in the reader's mind and evokes a sense of awe and wonder. This is why the correct answer is "a) vivid imagery."

After the tornado, Brian found fish to eat. This suggests that the tornado may have caused damage to the environment, including bodies of water, which may have led to fish being more accessible for Brian to catch and eat as a source of food.

Based on the information provided in the story, it is likely that in the future Brian will have items that will make living in the wilderness easier. This can be inferred from the fact that Brian has already learned survival skills and has been able to catch food and build shelter. It is reasonable to assume that he will continue to improve his survival techniques and acquire tools and resources that will enhance his ability to live in the wilderness.

The statement "Yet he had and he hung on the raft for a moment and felt sorry for himself. For his own stupidity" is an opinion because it expresses the character's personal feelings and judgment about himself.

The correct answer is c) all the branches that stuck down into the water dragged and pulled. This is because the branches in the water created resistance, making it difficult for Brian to move the raft towards the plane.

After the tornado, Brian's campsite looked like most of the logs that were his shelter wall were nearby, with one section still intact.

When Brian makes it back to civilization, he will think that the wilderness was unbelievably beautiful and he will probably wish he was back. This suggests that Brian had a positive experience in the wilderness and enjoyed the beauty of nature.
