Peak#5
I am reading the book Peak by Roland Smith. Peak is the boys name and the title of the book. I predict that Peak’s dad (the most famous rock climber in the world) is just using Peak so his son could be the youngest kid to reach the summit of Mount Everest (over 29,000 feet tall). My prediction was correct, Peak’s dad is just using Peak and Peak is fine with that. While I was reading I had a question. Why did Zopa (an old monk) make Peak walk instead of ride the truck? Because he wanted Peak’s leg muscles to get stronger for the climb up Mount Everest. I also had a visualization about base camp. I visualized that base camp is a dump with all kinds of trash and broken gear. I had this visualization because Peak said that is what it looked like.

George,
ReplyDeleteI am used to seeing more juicy details from you! I will be looking for more in your next post. All in all this is a good post, but I KNOW you are capable of doing more!
By the way, this sounds like a pretty interesting book. Do you think Peak will eventually mind that his dad is using him?
