The Will Power of One Man

Author’s Note: This essay is about “will power” and not only being able to make the right choices in life but the smart one’s as well.

Many average American don’t have very good will power to make the right choices in their life time. Some people don’t have a role model to tell them not to make bad decisions. Some of the decisions are so drastic that they go to jail or worse maybe even death. But in the book Hatchet Brian is one of the hand full of people the has the will power to survive a life changing journey.

Brian is life a very famous person that has enormous will power. George Washington. He was a man that had enough will power to take responsibility for a whole nation. Brian is like this because when he was fling to Canada the pilot had a heart attack and died. Brian had to take the controls and land the plane in the middle of the forest. As if that wasn’t enough now he has to find his way back to civilization on his own with only a hatchet.

In the end Brian was looking for a  way out of the forest and had to have huge amount of will power to survive and I think that he could survive anywhere at any time

Survival in The Desert

I think that Ben will escape from Madec and the desert in time and will alert the police or FBI.  This will happen because Ben wanted to tell the police about how Madec shot the old man and left him for dead. Instead Madec had another idea. Madec tried to kill Ben so that Madec won’t get arrested for shooting at Ben and the old man. Years later Ben will eventually go back to living a normal life and will try to forget what had happened when Madec attacked him and the inanest man.

This can relate to another book called Red Hot High-Tops. The main character is a girl on her middle school basket ball team finds a pair of red Nike high-top that aren’t hers. Her friend wants her to do the right thing and return them but she doesn’t want to do that because the shoes are helping her do better so then she tells the coach about them and she decides to return them kind of like Ben. But over all I think that Ben will end up escaping and doing the right thing by telling the police.
