Hatchet/Newbery Summer - Gary Paulsen - Google Books

I finished the book Hatchet.  I really enjoyed it.  I liked how he learned to be patient.  He found a survival kit and he wasn't sure he liked the ease of doing things it gave him.  He was able to accomplish almost impossible things because he didn't have tools beyond his hatchet and he was alone and had to do it for himself to survive.  It is good to be in a community, but sometimes we tend to think we cannot do things by ourselves since we can go get help, and then we don't learn that amazing feeling of accomplishing things by ourselves.
