Personal Narrative: I Want To Be A Loger

I'm going to be talking about John Colter and Tom Murphy's disadvantages and advantages when they were out exploring. And how hard it must have been on both of them to go out in the freezing cold, by themselves. They had to take care of themselves. It was a cold night up in Yellow Stone, when John Colter was walking around out there all by himself in the freezing cold, he even had to build his own shelter which was probably hard, so when John Colter finally had found such a good spot to put his shelter. He started building it he had a tarp and he said you have to tie the knights not too tight because it's cold out and you don’t want to sit there trying to untie knots but you have to tie it to a sturdy tree branch or a big stick that has fallen from a tree.

The soldiers who died due to being too sick to actually fight, died not because they were killed off, but because they were forced to endure the brutal and atrocious winter of Valley Forge. Another key factor as to why the soldiers in the Continental army should have left after their term was up because the help they should have received was not being given to them. The Committee of Congress came to Valley Forge to discuss with George Washington on what the soldiers need. However, once there, in the engraving by William Henry Powell, the Committee of Congress seems to be contemplating on helping the soldiers thus causing the soldiers to look angry. The soldiers in the picture were barefoot and had little clothing on than the Committee of Congress (Doc B).

Billy traveled a long way barefoot to go and get his dogs once he got the money. This can prove that Billy is super hardworking. In chapters 7-11 of the book Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls Billy shows hard work wen he is hunting with Little Ann and Old Dan. One time when they were hunting in the woods Little Anne accidently fell in the freezing cold water. When this dramatic event happened Billy did not know what to do.

He thought by taking the challenge he could change the way people thought about an old river and actually knowing the history behind it all. However, the Neches River has been known for multiple long years now. Throughout those years, a lot has happened inside the Neches river. Such as, hardwoods being cut down multiple times, damaging shelters for birds, squirrels and many other animals that lived off of those trees. Many types of the similar trees have been cut down by lumber companies and wiping out important types of trees.

The reality of the journey to the summit is, however, the opposite and frequently ends in tragedy. The 1997 expedition to Mount Everest ended as the most disastrous of any other, resulting in nineteen fatalities and physical and emotional trauma to those fortunate enough to survive. As Krakauer comes closer to the summit of the mountain he reflects and says: “The ratio of misery to pleasure was greater by an order of magnitude than any other mountain I'd been on; I quickly came to understand that climbing Everest was primarily about enduring pain. And in subjecting ourselves to week after week of toil, tedium, and suffering, it struck me that most of us were probably seeking, above all else, something like a state of grace”

Keep in mind he was a “professional” and was supposed to guide the group. Even after being seven people down the rest of the group continued to climb up the mountain. They did not turn back until the weather got worse, on their way down they were caught in a complete blizzard where visibility was almost completely gone. At this point they made the decision to make a snow cave shelter. They managed to survive the night and the next morning a student and professional mountaineer hiked for 16 hours until they found help.

Take eight troubled teenagers and one instructor and put them in the woods together for nine weeks and there’s bound to be a lot of drama and trouble.

On the other hand many accidents and injuries have occurred. Nobody had made it up the mountain until Sir Edmund Hillary and his partner did. This was because many people had to stop and leave. People have also died trying to get to the top of this dangerously tall mountain. To get to the top you must use oxygen tanks so that you can breathe in this high elevation.

On the mountain when everyone was getting separated and lost high on the mountain Anatoli actively looked for surviving climbers. He tried to rouse some of the climbers that had returned to camp but they refused to help saying they were too exhausted. Even though Anatoli himself was exhausted from the climb he kept going back to search for climbers on the South Col even if it was risking his own life. Although his early return to camp allowed him more rest to attempt a rescue. He could have collapsed from exhaustion or gotten lost but kept going back anyway.

It was always in the blazing heat and we would have to walk for miles to get to a sight. This was cruel and unusual punishment. As I grew older I came to understand why my dad would always take family members to the mountains. They don’t have this back home. Experiencing the mountains is not something they can do on a daily.

In Yukon during the gold rush, a miner named Clay Dilham goes on a search for firewood while leaving his partner doing supper. During his journey, he had spotted a dead tree in the side of a a icy hill. He must climb “up the slide” to reach the tree, although he did not realize how treacherous the way down could be. He had experienced so many obstacles that he had decided that the best way down is going up the hill, which is still not that easy. After many hours, he had finally reached the top which had used much of his energy.

Denali, which few people have been able to conquer, with little supplies. He had previously accomplished the task but he was attempting it again from a further point. His lack of supplies and attempt at facing something so difficult is very similar to Chris McCandless’s journey into the wild. John faced the difficult task, started the journey, and “he was not seen again; it is assumed he broke through a thin snow bridge and plummeted to his death...” 80. Although he wasn’t the brightest of them all, his death was simply an accident, like McCandless.

The building of the railroads would be halted due to avalanches in the winter and scorching high heat in the summers. The company had trouble finding reliable labor, many men would use them for a free ride into the mountains and then would quit the project in hopes to find gold in the mountains. “Sometimes construction was sabotaged by Native Americans who were angry with the United Sates Government. The Native Americans lived on the land the railroad companies were now building through-land

The natives did not have warm clothes to pass true the cold weather but the settlers were well prepared for the snowy mountains. The natives were very cold and they were hungry; thousands of people died along the way. The constitution which was written in 1787, it states in the 5th amendment that is also part of the Bill of Rights, “ nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation”. No one can use or take someone 's property without the permission. The United States went against their own rights, they took away property from the natives, because they needed to expand, without even conversing with them.

While running through the woods and occasionally toppling over a fallen branch, Ben started to become fearful. Although he was beholden to be free, the process of evading the Mister was maddening and tedious. After a week and two days of traveling, Betty, Nancy, and Ben came across a secluded wood cabin. Betty demanded that Nancy and Ben stay hidden, just in case turmoil was about to reveal itself. When the door opened, a colored man introduced himself.
