Lit Circle 1 discussion

In humanities class we were divided into four groups, each group had to read a separate book. The books that we were given to read were, Hatchet, Julie and the Wolves, Thunder Caves, and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. My group (Shannon, Olle, Cienna and Myself) got the book, 'Hatchet', the genre is survival and adventure, because Brian (the main character) is stranded in the wilderness of Canada and has only a hatchet to help him survive. After we were put in our groups we had to write a Lit Circle, a Lit Circle is where you are told to write whatever it asks you to write, it is not a quiz it is more of a writing prompt. After you write the Lit Circle (the whole groups should have done one) the group members come together and read their Lit Circle. We learn about the book and understand it better. It helped me to understand the characters more clearer, after my groups discussion, which also helped me understand other things, like: storyboard, background story, and events that have taken place.

We had a lot of ideas and points when we were discussing that some how helped me to connect with my group members. The connections that I made during the discussion is that I had a chance to exchange opinions and ideas with my group members as we shared our opinions and talked about Brian’s survival in Canada. We also shared our personal stories that relates to the chapters.

I predict that further into the book that Brian will land the plane safely but will damage it enough that he would not be able to take off again. I think that Brian will have to hunt for food and live off nature to survive. I estimate that Brian will have to sleep inside the plane for warmth and will also have to get water from the lakes.
