I read the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Hatchet is a survival story about a boy named Brian. Brian's parents have recently been divorced and he knows a secret why. Brian is flying to spend some time with his dad up in Canada. The pilot has a heart attack a ways through the flight and dies. Brian flies the plane for a while but it runs out of fuel. Brian is forced to land the plane. He tries to land it in a lake and is partially successful. He crashed through many trees before he hit the lake. Brian must survive in the Canadian wilderness for as long as he can. I really liked this book because of the very descriptive language the author used. It made the book a lot more visual and I liked that a lot. This book is realistic fiction because I could happen in real life and maybe there are even similar stories that have happened in real life. Also there weren't any things that were out of the ordinary or unrealistic and also there was never a real given time so it is not historical fiction. People who would like this book would be people who like survival stories, nature, and perseverance. You would like Hatchet because this book has all those qualities in it. A conflict in Hatchet would man vs nature. This is a conflict because Brian is fighting against nature to survive.
