The kid who climbed Everest

Last night i read about a hundred and twenty pages from my book not just because it is due on Friday but it actually got really exciting so I'm going to try to give a short summary of the plot and the thematic ideas then on my next blog put eight quotes. after the team arrives they start acclimatizing by going up and down the mountian. there are a few close encounters but everyone survives. Then they go down from base camp into a village to rest for a few days until they get the call to climb. when the time comes Bear is not ready to go because he is sick so the rest of the team goes with out him. not long after he leaves he starts feeling better so he goes to camp two and wait for a call saying the weather was clear for him finally it comes and he ascends with a small group of six people they make the summit safely and return down. some thematic ideas are patience, team work, companionship, perseverance, and hard work these are all shown through the hard times all the climbers face. In the end these are the things that help Bear get through his struggles and summit.
