Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made.

Branch Rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come. He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence. He was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results. He took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign. He was voted permission to make the Brooklyn club the pioneer in bringing blacks into baseball.

After his first emotional reaction to the porcupine attack, he figures out the most important rule of survival. What is it? (Hatchet)

Answers

Answer:

He's 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.

Explanation:

Answer: The slithering sound continues, and Brian can see a vague shape going toward the door of the shelter and moving outside. He feels his leg and finds that there are needles in it—the intruder was a porcupine, and its quills are stuck in his calf.  

One by one, although it hurts a lot, Brian pulls all eight quills out of his leg. When he's finally finished, he sits in the dark, crying and thinking that he just can't take any more. He puts his head down and cries until he's all cried out.  

Later, the narrator tells us, Brian would look back on this time as the point where he learned "the most important rule of survival, which was that feeling sorry for yourself didn't work" (8.12). Wow, and here Shmoop thought it was "always bring an extra pair of underwear." You learn something new every day.

What good thing came out of the
porcupine incident? (hatchet)

Answers

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.

Daniel loved how Mr. Finley's job sounded so he made it a priority to have a job like Mr. Finley's and he did but slightly better. When Daniel was in his mid High School years he discovered an interest in politics. Daniel would study Politics all the time. After high school, Daniel went to college and studied politics and after that he got a job that he absolutely loved which he worked for so many years.

What does the conflict in this passage suggest about the character of
Hadria?
The villagers had asked the traveling sorceress, Hadria, to protect
them from goblins. Goblins. That meant crawling around in caves.
"Don't you have anything more serious?" she asked the villagers.
"But they've been stealing our potatoes," the leader said. "That's
important to us!"
Later, Hadria did indeed find herself crawling through a cave, but when
she turned a corner, she found a much bigger threat than goblins: A
dragon twice the size of a bull lay on top of its hoard. Hadria readied a
spell and strode into the monster's den.
