Hatchet chapter 18, 19, Epilogue Abdulaziz Ahmad Alsumaiti 10.02 1021120083

What did Brian do when he first saw the plane? At the first when he saw the plane he said that he will cut the cover of the plane by hatchet but he didn’t.

How did he manage to get into the broken plane? First he went to the plane and the hatchet fill down in the lake. Then he went to get it back. So he made a hole in a plane.

What shocked him when he first saw the pilot? The pilot tells Brian that he picked up the emergency transmission, then saw the crashed plane sticking out of the water as he flew over the lake. Brian, not quite believing that he is finally being rescued, introduces himself to the pilot. Then, seeing that the stew and the peach whip are nearly done, he asks the pilot if he'd like something to eat. 

How did the survival bag help him? He finds two bars of soap, and bag after bag of freeze- dried food. Overwhelmed by all the choices he has available to him, Brian selects a beef and potato dinner, an orange drink, and a peach whip for dessert. Using water from the lake and his new cooking pot, he cooks the food over the fire.

How did the plane know that Brian was there? The plane's pilot steps out onto the sand in front of Brian's shelter. He tells Brian that he picked up the emergency transmission, then saw the crashed plane sticking out of the water as he flew over the lake.

Epilogue summary In the epilogue, the narrator tells us that Brian had spent fifty-four days alone on the lake before being rescued. The experience changes him in many ways. Physically, he's leaner and tougher than he was before. He's also far more observant, and far more thoughtful. Brian also does research to learn more about the animals and plants in the woods. The food that he called "gut cherries" are known as chokecherries, and are commonly used to make jam. His father goes back to work in the oil fields and his mother keeps seeing the man in the station wagon.
