Personal Narrative Analysis

Here, it is highly recommended to to use supplemental oxygen at this altitude, because the less oxygen you have, the more your brain cells die off. This means that you do not think as well and you cannot perform your best, which could mean life or death in this situation. The climax of the novel is when the team reaches their goal of making their way to the summit on May 10, 1996. The guide, Rob Hall, told the team before the climb that they had to be at the summit no later than two o’clock, and if you are not there by then, they must turn back. Around two o’clock, a massive storm begins to close in. The team must make it down to the lower camos soon or else it will be almost impossible for any of them to get back alive. Some of the climbers have not made it to to summit yet and go against Rob Hall’s judgement, and go the rest of the way themselves. Unfortunately, Jon Krakauer , Rob Hall, and all the other climbers get caught up in the storm. Jon Krakauer by a miracle gets down to the lower level camps and he has been out of supplemental oxygen for a while now. He stumbles upon one of the climbers of his team. His name is Beck Weathers. Beck eventually gets to a camp and they finally get him to the doctors at the Base Camp. When he gets to the doctors, the doctors say that he has the worst frostbite that they have ever seen.

They leave the snow hole in the morning. Joe abseils down a cliff, he falls down the east face and breaks his leg. Simon tries to help him get down to the camp. He abseils Joe down a few ledges. Joe tells simon to slow down but he cant hear him.

In examining the information from the book called Into Thin Air I found it useful to collect some of my own historical information about the mysterious and magnificent Mount Everest. Named after a retired British Survey General, George Mallory Everest. Despite the mountain already being called Chomolungma by the Tibetans and Sagarmatha by the Nepalese. In 1856 the British decided to name the mountain after Colonel George Everest, head of the survey (Davis, 69-73). Discovered back in 1852 to be the highest mountain in the world, it draws its victims in with its beauty, magnetism and power. Hundreds have lost their lives on this incredible mountain, Mount Everest continues to make history with the greatest one day death tolls increasing year after year with more and more mountaineers ready to conquer

BOOM! CRASH! Rumble! Crackle, pop, hiss! Thunder, and then a very bright and large lightning bolt struck close to their window, causing the two to jump and shout in shock. The power flickered, and then went out...

The campground is at 1,000 feet, and Cerro Also Peak is 2,624 feet, a 1,600-foot climb, quite strenuous in places. There are two ways to get to the top. The longer and less steep departs next to campsite 19, and the shorter, steeper trail starts just past site 16, where it first crosses the creek on a wooden bridge. The main trail at site 19 is signed “Cerro Alto Trail 12E01.”

I felt the drops begin to fall, and yelled, “Hurry! Help Me get the fly on!” We hoisted on the fly, then realizing the tent was going to blow away, put in some extra stakes. The next morning we woke up, dazed by the nights’ events, but excited and ready for adventure. We began our journey into the Tetons, heading to Jenny Lake, where frigid waters dared us to jump in. We began our journey up the mountain shortly after a quick breakfast, during which a man from the next campsite over gave us some extra pancake mix, which at the moment we had no time to use, and threw in the back of the car. Little did we know the lights in the car had stayed on while we went up the mountain. I headed the trip for a while, then fell to the back, drained by trying to stay in the lead and by lack of oxygen. We had to take breaks every few minutes because of the dispersed and unsatisfying amount of air we were able to breath in. All of the sudden, like flashes of lightning, Kurtis and Allison took the

It all started going wrong for John, Sam and Joseph, when they started to hear sputtering from the engine's core. Their stomachs dropped as they started to plummet to the ground. It all happened in a flash as the cargo from the plane fell out of the back. The plane makes contact with ocean and they soon realize the plane is starting to fill up with water. “Are you guys okay?!” shrieked John. “Yeah I'm fine.” replied Sam. “Guys!!” Yelled Joseph. “I am trapped under the seat, and I can't move my leg.” “Were coming.” Yelled Sam and John, but just then the plane broke in two and they lost sight of Joseph. Sam and John were panicked, but had to get out of the plane so they broke down the plane's door and grabbed two life jackets and bolted out. The current was strong, but the adrenaline overcome Sam and John while they were swimming for their lives.

“Identify ourselves? Hahahah! Say goodbye to your plane!” yelled someone from the other plane. The emergency doors opened and the other plane opened fire.

When Peak is ten feet from reaching the summit of Mt. Everest, and becoming the youngest person to summit Mt. Everest.  When he is ten feet away from the summit he stops and waits so his friend Sun-jo, a Nepalese boy, can reach the summit before himself. Peak does this because just then he realizes that Sun-jo needs the fame and money so he pay for his sisters to stay in their boarding school.

“The plane made a sharp left and ignited in mid-air like a fireball, like a firework in the sky, a loud scream emitted from the plane, and it went straight down into the Lake Havasu desert.”

After they spent an hour doing the last step of the tent, they finally got everything set up. When the sun set, they decided to start a campfire. After a few drinks, they heard a noise behind a tree. Dan decided to quickly check to see if someone was there. After 20 minutes, they started to worry about Dan. Before they all decided to

Mount Everest is a dream that only comes true for some, not many. There are no

Before the lady could respond, the plane began to accelerate. Speeding down the runway the plane shuddered and then took off. The world slowly disappearing behind several puffy white clouds.

They were all tired and cold and completely soaked when they returned to the mountain and they wanted nothing more than a hot shower and sleep. And that's exactly what they did.

Neither Obiareus nor the pilot knew what was to come on this trek. The only thoughts in their mind were to get to their destination. They never thought anything out of the ordinary would happen. Careless to the thought of something bad happening, Obiareus stared out his window and enjoyed himself as he hovered thousands of feet in the air. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" the pilot exclaimed, nearly giving the young boy a heart attack. "Yes. Yes it is." Obiareus said in response. Not long after, he began to notice some dark clouds lingering in the air. He didn't think much of them. In fact, he more or less disregarded them and continued to stare out at the world beneath him. But as the pilot began to direct them into the clouds, he knew that something bad was in the near future. He told Obiareus to buckle up. "We're about to go for the ride of our lives son!" He told him. Obiareus looked terrified. The pilot directed them into the storm and it seemed as if they were going to be okay until one very large gust of wind hit them and the planes left wing was torn apart. The plane started to go down and the pilot tried to direct the falling piece of what now looked like a torn apart sheet of metal to a nearby island that they could see in the distance. The island was called Grace Bay Island. At the worst time possible, the plane swayed and crashed full force into the ground. Obiareus was stunned and in shock, but he quickly came to his senses and was determined to get to his father. He unbuckled his seatbelt and crawled out of the seat. The boy knew the pilot was still in the plane and made his way to the cabin of it to see if the pilot was injured. When he reached the door to the cabin he peeked in. The man didn't seem to be breathing. Obiareus was scared and left in a hurry. He opened the door to the plane with a quiet grunt and exited the fuselage. He looked around the
