Hatchet Response

So far in Hatchet Brian has build a shelter under a rock overhang. He has looked around the area where
he is living for food and he has drunk water from the lake. He found some berries and ate them but later
that night he threw up and had diarrhoea. He stayed outside a bit then went back to sleep. 


The next day he ate some more but less than the day before so he didn't get sick. He did not get sick so
he ate some more. He started to run low on them so he looked for some more berries. He decided to
keep the lake in his sight so he didn't get lost. He saw some berries so he sprinted faster than he ever
has before. He recognised these types of berries and they were raspberries. He grabbed as many as
he could hold. It felt like he had four pounds worth of them. When he was collecting them he turned
around and there was a massive bear standing on it's back legs staring away from. Brian was in shock
so he stood still then ran the other way. He ran back to his cave and ate many of the berries  then went
to sleep.


He woke up to a strange rustling sound. He grabbed his hatchet and threw it that way. The animal came
towards him and stabbed him. He felt severe pain and his leg went numb. He looked at what was in his
leg and there were little needles. He noticed it must have been a porcupine. He pulled them out one by
one with sharp pain going through his leg. He tried to sleep that night but it was hard. 

He woke up and noticed that his hatchet had made a little groove in the rocks in his cave when he tried
to throw it at the porcupine. So he threw his hatchet at the cave wall again to try and get sparks. He got
some small ones but they went out quickly. He went outside and got some wood. He threw the hatchet
at the wall and sparks came but they went out. He went outside to get some more wood but this time he
cut it up so it's soft and fluffy and could catch the sparks. He threw the hatchet with all his might and big
sparks and fire. He added more wood to keep it big.
