Literature circle 4

1. I liked the book very much because it was really a very well described book. It had every detail for its part. The story is actually a short one but since it had lot of details, it was fun. I liked the story how a normal city boy got lost in the woods and tried to survive with one tool. I like stories when people go in an adventure and get lost and try to survive.

2. My favorite part was when Brian found the survival pack and found food, equipments, and a transmitter which saved him. That part felt relaxing to me because it felt like as if a big problem has been solved. It was like the resolution of the story since Brian had finally found things that can help him in the forest to live on. Also, I liked the part when Brian got to eat the food from the survival pack since it was really enjoying to see Brian finally eat some good food for a long time.

3. I think the message of the story was to be positive and never lose hope because if Brian hadn't thought of Perpich's words, he might have died. At the end of the book, the pilot who came said to Brian that people quitted looking for him 2 months ago. That was a long time. If he had lost his hope to live, he might have never been found. So, I think this is what the book is telling us.

4. I liked the literature assignment because it made you read the book clearly and understand it. If we had read it once and never think about it, we will forget what that book was about. The literature circles had made us read clearly than before and talk about the story to not forget it. I would improve it by not making the discussion too long because sometimes if you take too long, people will start to get bored and not present it properly. I think we should spend some minutes for each one and at the end, we do the blog post assignment.

5. It's hard to say because between the novels, we have to pick something that attracts your mind. I think I would rather read something that is kind of calm like maybe the True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. That book attracts me because the title looks interesting and it is one of the books I haven't read yet. (Hatchet was the one I read before) This is what I want to read next. I'll look forward to it!
