Although, it does say the his mother dropped him off in Hampton, New York in the beginning. This book is about a boy named Brian Robeson who is riding in a private airplane to Canada. At the beginning of the ride, the pilot invited him to help in the cockpit and then the pilot had an unfortunate heart attack.

    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.…

    The poem “Factory Work” by Deborah Boe is about a character who works in a factory assembling shoe parts. The character’s identity is that possibly of a female due to the line in the poem that states “If I hit my boyfriend now, in the supermarket parking lot, he knows I hit him”(Boe, 2009). There is no indication of the characters ethnicity, whether white or black, but the arrangement of the characters wording leads the reader to believe quite possibly that of white female. The character also appears to be from a larger city, one that has both factories and supermarkets. The character involved is that of a lower working class social status, but is pleased with what the job entails.
