Literature Groups: (Please discuss as a group and write your responses in your spiral notebook.)

__Chapters 1 - 5__ In the story, the author often relates events or mentions details that become important later on. For example, the pilot allows Brian to steer the plane. At first, it seems like a minor event. Later, it helps Brian survive. Find other passages in which details are mentioned that become important later in this section of the novel. Discuss how this method of introducing ideas and topics helps readers follow the story.

Spend a few minutes discussing each of your findings with the group. Then, decided on one event your group would like to post. Remember to __**identify**__ the event or detail that becomes important later on and describe __**how**__ it becomes important to Brian.

The event we think was important later on was when the pilot showed Brian how to fly the plane. The pilot had a heart attack and Brian had to fly the plane because there was no one else to fly it and sure enough he was going to crash but if he didn't fly the plane he would have been died right now when the plane crashed and there would be no story. (Jeanette's Group)

The event that we thought was the best was when Brian was watching the surviver show. When Brian was lost in the forest he know what. He also used his surviver knowledge to stay came.(isaiahs group )

Our group was talking about the Hatchet because if he didn't have it then he would not be protected. He also would not be able to start a fire. The hatchet is very important to Brian. {Brittney}

Our group thought that the most important event was when he said that he was reborn as a new Brian and he would not give up. The divorce helped him get stronger because his anger makes him believe in himself and he wants to get out of all his problems.(carolina's group)

Our literature circle group thought that the movies and books Brian had seen and read helped him survive and hunt in the wilderness.(Nayelie's Group)
