Book Title: The Hatchet by Gary Paulsen (PART II)

The Hatchet is more than an adventure story. It is a window to the world viewed to open the eyes of every adolescent. Though few adolescents would experience the actual challenges Brian had encountered during his period in the Canadian wilds, still, every adolescent encounters a comparable journey toward self-realization, struggles and independence. Moreover, in this journey, we should not entertain even a single hint of giving up, because life without hope is indeed meaningless. We should all be determined in our every ways, put all our trust to God and surely, all will be well.

All will be well

When you’re stuck in a place and nowhere to found,
When you’re lost and seem things don’t go abound,
When you can’t sleep because of the burdens residing in your heart,
And you just can’t escape the pain that freaks you out,
In these such times of great transition,
Don't get stuck in one position.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all rocky and uphill.
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you can’t; sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest then if you must, but don't you ever quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
Don't give up though the tempo seems all so slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Be sinuous, be bold,
Be tough, and don't fold.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a weak and wavering man.
When you think you’re no good
Never give up
Because you might learned too late when the night came down,
How close you were to the golden crown.

No coward is in a soul with Christ
Believe in yourself and have trust in His might
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Hold your spirit
in the course of veer;
Retain your vigor,
And remember you are all you have.
And all will be well,
As far as God can tell.
