2/21/17 A Letter To Brian

We have moved through 11 chapters of Hatchet. Since the plane crash, Brian has changed a lot. We know this because our narrator is third person omniscient.

Today, I would like you to write a letter based on the things we do not know. In this case, I would like you to write from the point of view of Brian's dad. Topics you should cover are:

- The Divorce

- How he has felt now that Brian is missing.

-What he would like to say to Brian.

You should write this as a letter format. Have it fit the outline below.

Dear Brian,
