Read the two excerpts below. The first one is from Captain John Smith's personal account of his rescue by Pocahontas, and the second one is from the children's book The Story of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith published in 1906. Notice how the two accounts differ.
They were ready with their clubs to beat out his brains when Pocahontas, the King's dearest daughter, when no begging could prevail, took his head in her arms, and laid her own head upon his to save him from death.
--from John Smith's personal accounts
But just as the Indian brave was about to strike, his great war club swinging high in the air, Pocahontas rushed forward and threw herself between him and his victim. With her own body she shielded the Captain from harm, for her heart was moved to pity for the stranger, and she could not bear that he should die.
--from The Story of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith
What is the BEST way to describe how these two accounts differ?
Smith's account includes details about why Pocahontas intervened; the children's book does not
Smith's original account is full of emotion; the children's story is lacking in emotion
Smith's original account lacks emotions; the children's story attributes emotions to Pocahontas
Smith's account indicates exactly what Pocahontas said; the children's book leaves this part out
LANGUAGE ARTS QUESTION
What good thing came out of the
porcupine incident? (hatchet)
Answer:
A porcupine has attacked him with hundreds of painful quills. After pulling all the quills out one by one, Brian cries in misery and loses his will to survive. When he can cry no more, it dawns on him that crying and self-pity accomplish nothing.
Explanation:
Answer: n Chapter 8, Brian wakes up in the middle of the night to a hissing sound and a terrible smell in his little shelter. He thinks it's a snake and throws his hatchet at it. The hatchet misses, hitting the wall and making a shower of sparks, and the creature gets closer. It's not a snake, it's a porcupine. Brian kicks at it, but the porcupine sticks him in the leg with its tail and runs off.
It's while he's pulling the porcupine quills out of his leg that Brian learns what becomes his most important lesson. He's understandably down in the dumps about being stranded and now stung by a porcupine, but then ''he learned the most important rule of survival, which was that feeling sorry for yourself didn't work.'' It won't get the quills out of his leg and won't make fire, so Brian decides to stop it entirely and get to work. Once he's all cried out and quill-free, Brian gets back to sleep.
Brian's Dream
Unlike a lot of Brian's other dreams over the course of Hatchet, the dream he has after getting stung isn't about his mother's affair, or even really about any event from his past. First, Brian sees his father in a living room, making scratching gestures and trying to say something to Brian. Brian is frustrated and can't understand what his father is saying when the dream transitions to a park scene with his friend Terry.
Explanation:
After his first emotional reaction to the
porcupine attack, he figures out the most
important rule of survival. What is it? hatchet
Answer: surviving
Explanation:
Without surviving and trying your best, you will die
The killer clowns Chapter 3
One week after Rosa’s death, the clowns had the world completely under their control.
Estella had just heard the news of Rosa’s death and was devastated. “Oh Rosa,” Estella cried, looking forlorn “Why did you have to mess with Pennywise?” Then she went to a dusty trunk in the corner “I vowed never to open this chest ever again… but I have to save Rosa.” Estella pulled out a dusty spell book and set it on the table. She flipped to the page about bringing people back to life. “The blood of the killer poured into the mouth of the killed shall raise the dead man from his earthy bed.” Estella read. She went to Pennywise’s lair and collected a little bit of his blood.
Later, at the graveyard, Estella was pouring the blood of Pennywise into Rosa’s mouth. Rosa immediately opened her eyes, while her arms grew back, “Estella, where am I? what happened?” Rosa said, looking around. “Rosa, you must kill Pennywise, before EVERYONE dies!” “Ok,” said Rosa “ I will try.” Rosa then went home and gathered her weapons, put her brass knuckles on, and went to Pennywise’s lair.
When she got there, Rosa started to have second thoughts, but she kept on moving. There was blood splattered across the walls, dismembered body parts all over the place, and torture devices on a stage in the far corner. But she kept moving till she got to Pennywise’s throne. “HEY, PENNYWISE” Rosa yelled “ YOU ARE SO UGLY THAT WHEN YOU WERE BORN, THE DOCTOR SLAPPED YOUR MOTHER.” “Rosa” Pennywise snarled “didn’t I kill you already?” Rosa then conjured a whirlwind around her and flew to Pennywise, “yeah and you will have to do it again” she said and then stabbed Pennywise in the heart, took out all of the clowns, and saved anymore innocent people from a cruel death for the clowns entertainment.
the end or is it?
Answer:
Ooh ok, so you're adding supernatural activity to your story now. Things are starting to get more intriguing :D
Also, I really like Rosa's personality and sense of humor. That's a nice touch to an adventure/thriller story, if I do say so myself.
Explanation:
I'm glad that you added another character to the mix, but you really could've done more with her. Not to mention everytime you add someone to your story, you have to at least introduce your readers to them somehow. For example: how does Rosa know Estella? And where did she get the spell book from? You don't have to go into too much detail with her, if you don't want to, but at least some explanation would be nice.
Hope this helps you, I'll probably even give you more tips and heads-ups in comments, when I can think of more. Either way, keep up the good work! :)

How does Brian use Mr. Perpich's advice to help him begin his survival journey? Use at least two examples from Chapter 5 of Hatchet.
Answer:Chapter 5
Gripped by unbelievable thirst and hunger upon awakening, Brian drinks water from the lake while trying to grasp the fact that he has landed in this complete wilderness. Reassuring himself with the hope that the searchers will come that day to rescue him, Brian recalls his old English teacher Mr. Perpich, who had repeatedly emphasized to his students the importance of a positive attitude, and Brian uses this memory to motivate himself against despair. Brian experiences the profound silence of the woods, noting that such silence never exists back in the city. In a sudden wave of despair Brian suddenly remembers that he had bumped the wheel when reaching over for the pilot's headset. This action had most likely rerouted the plane, and Brian begins to accept the fact that the search planes might not rescue him for a few days. Sensing imminent panic, Brian works to calm himself, determined to find something to eat and to make a shelter.

Read the excerpt from the story Hayden and Henry Go to Camp:
Hayden and Henry Holbrook were twins. People often think that identical twins are the same in every way, but this couldn't be further from the truth when it came to Hayden and Henry. The boys were exact opposites. Sure, they both had the same mane of golden, floppy curls, the same piercing, blue eyes, and the same cheeky smile, but that was where the similarities ended.
Hayden was the brainy one; he was a walking encyclopedia. His main areas of expertise included computer coding, dinosaurs, and British folktales (Robin Hood was his favorite), but in general, he knew a lot about a lot of things. Hayden always had his nose in a book and loved to watch documentaries on the TV. He was painfully shy and hated being outdoors in nature. Henry, on the other hand, preferred joke books to informative ones. He was always clowning around and making others laugh. Henry had a real heart of gold and was always willing to help others. He also loved sports and was a champion swimmer.
Select the detail that shows how the two brothers are similar.
A Hayden was the brainy one; he was a walking encyclopedia.
B Henry had a real heart of gold and was always willing to help others.
C People often think that identical twins are the same in every way.
D They both had the same mane of golden, floppy curls.

The Killer Clowns
One dark and stormy night, a loud bang came from the garage. A 10 year old girl named Rosa went to see what it was. When Rosa opened the door the lights went out. She knew there was a flashlight near the door, but she couldn’t find it, and the breaker-box was on the other side of the house in the basement. Suddenly the lights started to flicker on and off. She heard footsteps coming down the hall. Rosa ran and hid is a closet across the hall, she whispered to herself “Please don’t come this way”. “Clump, Clump, Clump” She heard the footsteps getting closer, all of a sudden they stopped in front of the door and went back down the hall. Rosa let out a sigh of relief. Then she heard a clown car and thought “That’s odd, clown car’s don’t pass through this late” but realized there were killer clowns on the loose and the police couldn’t stop them, the clowns already killed the entire police force. She knew what she had to do. The kitchen was down the hall and it sounded like the intruder was upstairs in the attic. Rosa had found a bag and started towards the kitchen, she knew exactly where the kitchen knives were and grabbed some food and a large carving knife. She also grabbed her mother’s pistol and some ammo from the gun safe. She heard the front door rattling and knew to get to her room, because it was her and her puppy, Rose-Bud who was a pit bull, that night and it had no windows to get in through.
Rosa locked the room door and pushed the dresser and nightstand against the door to barricade the door. Rosa heard the honking of a rubber chicken, and she knew the clowns were here. Still instead of screaming she stayed silent, got the gun loaded and ready to fire then hid in her closet. She would be safe in there for the time being, suddenly she knew Chuckie had teamed up with the killer clowns. Who else would have the clowns teamed up with besides a haunted doll? Rosa heard a knife scraping against the wall, it was deafening. Rosa was still in her closet with Rose-Bud. “Bang, Bang, Bang” went the door, a clown had gotten in! The clown opened the closet door very slowly and got shot straight in the heart. The gunfire made Chuckie and all the clowns run, but they are still out there.
