What did I learn (so far) about 'Hatchet'?

Well, so far, we've read up to chapter two in the book 'Hatchet'. It's pretty interesting, and mainly about a boy called Brian Robeson (from the blurb) who is stuck in the Canadian wilderness with a shredded windbreaker, a dead pilot, the hatchet his mother gave him, and a crashed plane. In chapters one and two, we learn that Brian's parents are divorced, and that Brian is flying over to his father's home to visit him. While Brian is in the plane that is transporting him there, (he is in the copilot's seat), the pilot teaches him how to fly the plane. It's a good thing he taught Brian, because sometime later, the pilot has a heart attack and dies. Brian is now on his own, and is not in a good position, because he only knows the basics of flying the plane, and the radio transmitter is not working! He decides to keep flying until he finds a lake to land it. At the end of the second chapter, Brian throws up out of nervousness.

*Here's something that the group would like to share with you: We think that the pilot taught Brian how to fly the plane because he knew he was going to die and wanted Brian to be able to manage on his own when he died. When he told Brian how to fly the plane, we think that the author made him sound calm so as not to alarm Brian. What the group says is: It's really possible!
