Hatchet Analysis

"Help! Somebody help me! I'm in this plane and don't know...don't know... don't know... And he started crying with the screams, crying and slamming his hands against the wheel of the plane, causing it to jerk down, then back up. But again, he heard nothing but the sound of his own sobs in the microphone, his own screams mocking him, coming back into ears" (Paulsen 18). What is happening to Brian is unthinkable. Brian's pilot wasn't feeling so good and his stomach was hurting. The next thing you know the pilot is screaming and slamming back into his seat. The pilot was having a heart attack. Since the pilot just died, Brian had to take things into his own hands and fly the plane himself. A 13 year old flying a plane is not a very good idea. I infer that Brian will crash because he is a 13 year old and doesn't know how to fly a plane. But, I predict that Brian will still live after the plane crash because how else will the book go on.
