Without any kind of knowledge other than bits and pieces he learned on television and at school, Brian has to struggle to remain alive. That means finding shelter, food, and water. In what can be considered the second act of "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, the boy struggles to survive in his new forest environment. The plot follows his success and failures as challenges increase with each new day. Skills grow as the chance of rescue shrinks. This is the second part of a discussion about how plot structure helps tell the story.
