|In the story Hatchet, Brian comes to terms with his situation and is realizing that he must get motivated to make the best of his situation. Motivation is what will help Brian survive. He remembers the advice of a |

|teacher who always told him that motivation was very important. Everyone needs motivation to help them in difficult times. Think about the positive things in your life that motivate you. Are these things intrinsic |

|(they make you feel good about yourself inside) or extrinsic (they get you rewards like good grades and money)? Could negative experiences motivate you as well? Convey/Tell about an experience when you had to |

|motivate yourself to do something you did not think you could do. Include flashbacks in your narrative. |
