1. Why do you think Krakauer was so determined to reach the summit of the mountain?
2. Do you think that Kakauer explaining why he realtes to Chris benifits the book?
3. Do you think being high on marijuana was what drove Krakauer to decide to go back up the mountain?

  1. 1. he loved to climb and believed that he could overcome any encounter that came his way

    2. i think it does because it gives you another person who has adventures in the wilderness and it shows what dangers he came across just taking brief trips into the wild.

    3. nah, i think he just loved the mountain

  2. 1. So that he could prove to himself that he could conquer nature and what all other people said about not going into the wilderness and that you would die.

    2.Yes because it allows the reader to tie in events of their own life to the book.

    3.ehh possibly but most likely not because from what I have heard marijuana makes you less motivated and lazy so he would not want to climb a mountain.
