Brandon Nicaj 6-1 10/8/15 The Comforts of Home Home is defined as a place where the heart is, family stays, and love is shared among the people in it. After reading the novel Hatchet, Brian has learned how to live in a rock ledge shelter, know the similarities between his shelter and his old home, and how the old home is different. Brian’s rock ledge shelter is a unique place to live. It has many things about it that most places don’t have. For example, the shelter has a ledge on the top of his shelter to protect him from rain. Normal houses have a ceiling or a roof to protect them, but Brian’s new home has an actual ledge on the top. Another way the shelter was unique was that the whole place was built with rocks! All houses are usually made with bricks or wood, but Brian made it with actual rocks. Now, whose house has that? Last, but not least, the shelter was right next to water. The water was to help Brian by not making him walk for a drink, catch fish, or wash himself. …show more content…
For example, his old house had a door, just like the shelter. Both have some kind of protection in the front of the home. They also both have walls to protect themselves from wind, rain, and ice. If he didn’t have any walls, there would be no use for a shelter! Even in the old house, a rule for a home is to have walls. Finally, he had somewhere cozy to sleep. In the rock ledge shelter, he sleeps on sand in his home. In his old house, he still had somewhere to sleep which was his cozy
Bradbury sets a tone that is supernatural. It isn’t normal for a house to be functioning on it’s own, having rooms, “acrawl with small cleaning animals, all rubber and metal” (Bradbury). This house is running like their is a family living their

You may watch survival shows that broadcast people surviving in the wilderness, but you may not know that they will be okay in the end, because they have a camera crew and supplies. Now think of them if they didn’t have protection. In the novel by Gary Paulsen called Hatchet, a teen named Brian Robeson was exactly in that predicament, except for he crash landed in the middle of the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a hatchet that was gifted to him by his mom. Brian had to learn from his mistakes to increase his chances of surviving, and Brian had to change his ways to make things better. Brian figures out many crucial things that will save him in the end, and two of them are the most important in my opinion.
Society defines home as “a house, apartment, or other shelter. It is the usual residence of a person, family, or household” (“Home”). In The Glass Castle, Jeannette’s definition of home suggests that it is a place for friends, comfort, love, happiness, and financial security. However, home is a complicated topic that can be interpreted in many ways. The Glass Castle clearly describes the pessimistic attributes of home, such as a lack of support and poor parenting.
There was no roof on it, so Wilson put a tarp over the top to keep rainwater and sunshine out. Slabs of cardboard were laid on the floor for him to sleep on. He kept it very basic in the beginning of the experiment, and progressively started adding luxuries to the home. A false floor was installed with cubbies to store his things in. Six months into the experiment, he could no longer withstand the insufferable Texas heat during the sunny month of July.
Identify 3 ways how Brian needed to use the environment to survive In the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, Brian used multiple effective ways to survive in the wilderness only such as when fire was made, using the wood to make weapons, and using the L-shaped lake for various reasons. These elements helped him a lot. Brian is extremely lucky because when the hatchet was thrown against the cave walls when the porcupine was present on page 76, sparks just happened to be noticed.
Lastly, Claudette couldn’t “make the blank, chilly bedroom feel like home.” It was hard for her since she has lived in a cave for her whole life. Now Claudette is in this room and it feels
CR 5 Hatchet I consider that Hatchet does a better job of confess the story then A Cry In The Wild. I believe this because it gives more details. Like in the album, Terry was in his dream, but in the motion picture he was not in his dream. Also,it direction to dead giveaway in the book that he was going to make a fire, but in the film he just made the fire.
The castaway always took what was available, and used to the best of his abilities. He even thought of digging a hole and placing for fires in the shape of a cross to prevent mosquitos and the cold from getting to him. One of the reasons why de Vaca survived

With no identity or any hope in the future, the characters are faced with many compromising decisions.

Frequently, we just pass by people and look down on them since they have no home; but who is to say they don’t have a home? Home is not the house you live in or the country you belong to. It is a place that incites certain feelings and those feeling are what makes a place home. The people on the streets with no “home” may simply find that anywhere in the world is where they call home. Home has two specific set of values that make it more than just a place which are privacy, and safety.
(p38) The way Steinbeck describes the bunkhouse indicates their lonely lives. Also by only having two shelves for their personal belongings shows their lonely insecure lives. Crooks has a better facility than any of the other ranch workers since he has a desk. Crooks does not appreciate this because he is alone and isolated from the rest, like Curley’s wife and in some way Candy.
Home is My Life Burden Home. An alternative life kept from the outside world. Behind closed doors, it can be filled with tension but others may see happiness. Life outside my home is my escape from the anxiety that’s built from within the walls of what is called my home. But now, it’s not fully a family with just me and my mother.
At first glance, the opening scene to Margaret Laurence's A Bird in the House provides descriptive insight into the home Vanessa will view as her safe haven. However, through analysis of Laurence’s use of imagery, symbolism, and foreshadowing, the Brick House is not as impenetrable of a shelter as it had been known to represent. The Brick House is, in itself, full of underlying meaning. The family members are the only ones to call it that, to the rest of the town it is known as “the old Connor place”, “plain” and “sparsely windowed”. This starkly contrasts to the imagery Vanessa creates by likening the house to a “fortress” created by her Grandfather as a “massive monument”.
