1.The benefits of working with a classmate.


Unfortunately, I think me and my partner both had very little benefit, but we still had few benefits. First benefit was that by looking through partner's literature, we can absord their skills and learn from them. This benefit really helped me when I was writing connection, which I am always confused with. For me, I believe it also helped me to develop my writing skills. Secondly, by checking partner's job, I noticed that I have few mistakes same as my partner. As a result, I was able to fix and develop mine too.

2. Challenges / obstacles which you overcame (tried to overcome).

There were very few great cooperation with partner, and also there were few challenges and obstacles while working with partner. First challenge that we had to face was searching for different passage each. Since we couldn't just choose anything, we communicated with each other to remind each other what we chose. Second obstacle was time. Since we started quite late, it was hard to check in short time.

3. New understandings that you gained about the novel.

Since our passages were near, I didn't gained any new understanding about the book. However, we discussed about the book few times about parts that had some interesting survival. For example, when we were reading about Brian eating turtle eggs, we talked about eating eggs raw.

Discussion

          Discussing in group helped me to under stand better by sharing opinions and ideas about what is important to the story. Also, discussing in group made me sure about my idea because of agreement. When members of the group agree to an idea, it makes person who thought that idea feel sure about their ideas. Divorce and hatchet. Thoughts of divorce always bothers him and makes him think about his mother's secret and other facts related to his parents' divorce. For hatchet, it is only tool he has and which he needs to suvive in wilderness.
           Usually, my connections related to plane crush, his parents' divorce and other important events happened to him. For the first chapter, I wrote connections about the plane crush, which was the crucial event to the story, and about his parents' divorce which gave huge impact on him. For example, plane crush because of strange lights from the ground and watching program about living with divorced parents. For 3~6 chapters, I made connections about Brian's survival part when he drank water and vomit. For example, vomitting after drinking too much water, which happened to me few months ago.
          
          I think Brian will survive and finally he will be rescued, because even though his head busy thinking about divorce and plane crush, he is working hard to survive until the plane will come and get him. Also, now, he does not really think of divorce and other events very much and he is thinking about survival. As a result I think he will escape from the wilderness.
