Quotation from the Text Page # Respond, Analyze, and Evaluate

1. “ ‘Thanks. It’s really nice.’ But the words

sounded hollow, even to Brian.” p.8

“Why does Brian feel that way about

getting a hatchet from his Mom? If the

words sound hollow to Brian, he must

not mean it. Why is he mad at his Mom?

- Asking questions

2. “No roads, no trails, no clearings. Just the

lakes, and it came to him that he would have to

use a lake for landing. If he went down into the

trees he was certain to die.”p.23

I can’t imagine keeping my cool in a

situation like this. I’d be on my cell

phone, freaking out & he’s trying to land

the plane! I guess it’s important to keep

your cool in a crisis. - Reaction to text

3. “Now, with the thought of the burger, the

emptiness roared at him. He could not believe

the hunger, had never felt this way. The lake

water had filled his stomach, but left it hungry,

and not it demanded food, screamed for food.”

p.48

It’s weird how Brian’s stomach is like a

character now, driving his behavior. I’ve

been hungry before, but never like that.

Is he going to start eating things that are

poison because he is so hungry?
