solutions from this chapter using the text structure graphic organizer below:
Read the following excerpt from Chapter 14 of Hatchet:

sulfurous rotten odor filled the small room, heavy, ugly, and stinking. The
corrosive spray that hit his face seared into his lungs and eyes, blinding
him.”

sentences above?

where they were close to driving him insane”?
2. Describe the secret key that finally enabled Brian to detect the birds
before they explode into flight.
Figurative Language:
In Chapter 15, Gary Paulsen uses the following figurative language (in red)
“When it turned, curving through the trees, the sun had caught it, and Brian,
for an instant, saw it as a shape; sharp-pointed in front, back from the head
in a streamlined bullet shape to the fat body. Kind of like a pear, he had
thought, with a point on one end and a fat little body; a flying pear.”
What type of figurative language is this? (Hint: it is a comparison
between two things)

There are many themes present throughout the story of Hatchet. In the
chart below, I have written four possible themes of this story. Your job
is to explain each theme and then find an example from the text for
each theme (if possible, provide text evidence).
Using the information that is present in the chapters you read this
week, or information in previous chapters, which one of the four
themes above do you feel MOST APPLIES to this book? Support your
opinion with at least two reasons, and each reason should be
supported by evidence and an explanation
You might choose to use a TREE organizer as a method of planning
