Hatchet:This is a final draft of on the book Hatchet by Gary Paulson. My thesis:"Brian will have to use courage and persistence to survive". I had received a 2. I had gotten a 2 because It had looked out of the format that we were given but it had a really good Idea and points that went along with it. Some of the strengths that my essay had was the point that I had tried to make clear and the way that I had worded Brian's(main character) situation. The over all format of my essay could be changed so that it can fit the format properly. A goal that I have for my next formal essay is to pay more attention to certain areas that people feel are mor important in an essay.
