Hatchet | Chapter 4
In a semi-dream state, Brian vividly recalls every detail of the
incident in which he discovers "The Secret." He had been
riding his bike with his friend Terry when he saw his mother
in a strange car, kissing a man with short blond hair. The
hatred, anger, and astonishment that had swept over him at
that moment return to him anew. Becoming conscious once
again, Brian slowly absorbs the surrounding wilderness as the
details of the plane crash rush back into his mind. His entire
body aching from the injuries he has sustained during the
crash, he falls quickly asleep. Awakening in a haze, Brian
finds his survival of the plane crash almost unbelievable and
quickly remembers the pilot's less fortunate fate. The
mosquitoes in the area swarm around him and leave him with
painful bites on every part of his exposed skin. Brian feels
lucky to have survived the crash, and upon looking at the
surrounding area, realizes how close a call it had been; he had
just barely avoided a huge rock nearby. Contemplating the
scenery and listening to the many sounds of nature
surrounding him, he falls asleep once again.
Hatchet | Chapter 5
Brian wakes up suddenly. He's sunburned and incredibly thirsty,
but he isn't sure if it is safe to drink the lake water, and the thought
of the pilot's dead body in the lake bothers him. He thinks that if
this were a movie, the hero would have easily found a "clear spring
with pure sweet water." Eventually he tries the lake water. He
drinks thirstily until he makes himself sick and throws up, but he
offers some protection from rain. After inspecting it, he sees that all
he has to do is build a wall on one side to create a dry shelter.
Now he turns to the next challenge: finding something to eat. He
remembers television shows he has seen about people living in the
desert, including one that showed a pilot cooking lizard stew in a
can. He knows there are no lizards here to eat, but he wonders if
there might be something else. Suddenly he decides to look for
berries. He walks slowly through the woods and ends up following
birds to a berry bush. The berries are tart, but he eats a lot of them.
He picks more berries and makes a pouch out of his windbreaker,
then carries the berries back towards his camp. There he starts
gathering wood to build a wall. By the time the sun sets, he has
formed a room about 8 feet by 15 feet with one three-foot-wide
opening. His stomach feels a little upset from gorging on the berries,
but Brian goes to sleep.
