    This is my INS on Hatchet. The book was written by Gary Paulsen the author that also wrote previous book I did an INS on. The book is set in the Canadian woods. I'm not sure what time period this book takes place in because it doesn't say in the book. I'm guessing somewhere in the 1980's or 90's. Now I will summarize the story of this book. The story is about Brian Robeson, a 13 year old boy who is going to visit his dad in Canada after his parents' divorce. He goes from Hampton, New York to Canada on a small plane. The driver has a heart attack and dies. Brian takes over the controls and crashes into the woods. Brian is now stranded all by himself in these woods. He thinks that he will be rescued, but that doesn’t end up happening. He finds berries and other types of foods and uses those to eat. Skip all the way to the end and a tornado strikes his area and destroys his shelter. After that, he notices that the tail of the plane has emerged and he goes into it and gets the survival pack. In it, he finds a transmitter and it calls a rescue helicopter thing to him. He then gets rescued. That is pretty much bigger main parts of the book. I chose this book for INS because I said that there are some similar things about this book and the one I did previously and that interested me so I decided to do this book for my ins. I also wanted to read this book again because I forgot some of the stuff that happens throughout the book.…

    I’m sure we have all experienced an epiphany in our lifetime. I like to call epiphanies “aha” moments or a moment when you figure something out and it changes your life and the way you view things. I’m sure I have had a lot of epiphanies in my twenty-nine years such as finding my fingers and toes as a baby or learning how to ride a bike, but the epiphany I remember the most happened when I was eight years old.…

    I choose this one because I connect with that topic more. It is an easier topic that I can write about because it is such a big moment that happened so I still remember everything that happened and now I felt that made me become this person. I think this essay has the most potential because it has the least telling of the other two and I feel that there is a better flow between paragraphs and it isn’t very choppy. With the first essay, I feel like it would be hard to incorporate a point to it because I do not want it to should like a lesson or something I have learned after this experience. With the turning point, it is a narrative that leads into what happened which is the turning point. With the third essay, there is also too much telling. I do like the idea of it, but I feel like if I don’t tell the readers what I do on a daily basis and the classes I take, the readers wouldn’t understand why it’s such a hard and stressful time for me. And with that, I feel like there is too much telling. The specific steps I will take to build my draft into a fully formed, exemplary narrative essay is to fix all the parts where I wrote “I realized” or “I felt” because it makes it seem like a there was a lesson or something that was learned. I also have to elaborate more about what I was feeling at that moment. Like how I felt when I was heartbroken because I was also feeling a lot of…
