How I See Brian in Hatchet
Sloshing Oil
Maths Anyone??
Reflection on Hatchet Debate
Within 1 hour, 39 pupils spoke out and shared some of their thoughts on a given topic and in so doing allowed others to have insight of their own beliefs and values - think of the 'Perfect Home' discussion.
I would like to applaud the 39 individuals for bringing such a professional quality to the debate - all contributed to its success and the 'energy' that resulted from this concerted effort will be converted into greater motivation for 6 Grace.
Please take time to reflect and share your thoughts on the following:
How did this debate affect my perceptions of myself?
In what ways did the debate fit my learning style?
Has it influenced the way I perceive English and Literature?
What did the debate show us about the 'tricks' authors use to captivate the heart and mind of the reader?
I had such pleasure hosting the debate and I felt the true magic of 6 Grace.

1.'Sloshing oil' is used as when oil sloshes,it moves in an uncontrolled way but it gradually settles and stops just like his thoughts.
2.He was thinking that the rescuers might not find him but he tried to stay positive by thinking that the rescuers might find him soon,not today,maybe tomorrow.

1.Sloshing oils means that the oil is moving in an uncontrollable manner which will eventually relax and settles back after some time like his thoughts.
2.He made his mind get prepared of what is awaiting him.If the searchers did not find him for another two, three or four days,he said to himself that he must do something within this four days as he cannot sit down for four days.

sloshing oil is used because Brian is thinking in an uncontrollable manner like sloshing oil which settles like his mind.
Brian was thinking that the rescuers might not find him in a very short period but soon,they will find him.
