Q1.the part was"he didnt think he could stand it,but when he tried to pull a piece of breast meat off,the meat was still raw inside."from here we can see that Brian had no patience and he wasnt thinking.

Q2.the part was"he settled back,turning the bird slowly,letting the juices go back into the meat.Letting it cook and smell and smell and cook and there came a time when it didnt matter if the meat was done or not;it was black on the outside and hard and hot and he would eat it" From here we can see that Brian began to think and be patient.

Q1.He was not very patient and not thinking when he was cooking the bird. He thought the minute the outside of the bird was cooked, the inside of the bird would be cooked. However, when he pulled out a piece of breast meat it was still raw. That proved that he was not patient enough to wait for the meat to ccok.
Q2. I think it was when he started to realise that patience was the way of doing things right. He then begun cooking the bird again. However, he did not bother whether the meat was cooked or not, he just saw that the skin was already black, hard and hot so he would eat it.

1)The event that he do not have patience and not thinking was while he was cooking the bird.When the outside of the meat is cooked it does not meant the content is cooked too.Brain did not think about this as he thought that the meat is totally cooked when the outside is cooked.This point tell us that he was not thinking and does not have the patience to wait.
2)When he put the bird back into the fire and did not bother whether is it cooked or not,he just wait until the skin is black and hard and hot then he would eat it.

Q1)The event when Brian had no patience and no thinkingis when he didn't think that he would be able to stand the smell of the bird trying to pull a piece of the breast meat off the meat where the meat is still raw inside.
Q2)i think the turning point for Brian when he started to think and be patient is when he settled back, turning the bird slowly,letting the juices go back to the meat,letting it cook and smell and smell and cook and there came the time when it didn't matter if the meat was done or not ;it was black on the outside and hard and hot,and he would eat it .

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.

Please post your thoughts. Thank you.
