IRA: Peak

So this week it was Peak's job to go through all of the stuff that his dad bought for him and find replacements with Zopa for anything that didn't work.  If it was too small they tossed it, if it was too big they tossed it.  We also meet a new kid named Sun-Jo he is related to Zopa somehow but IDK. 
The thing I want to talk about is how when Zopa got their and went through all of his thing he started tossing out brand new items that could of possibly helped them.  Peak's dad bought this stuff so you think he would know what he is doing and only buy the neccessities but apparently not.  Zopa also seems like a expert at this type of stuff so he must think he is right in throwing out the expensive new items.  Wonder which one is right, I expect a fight to break out for ditching the stuff.

IRA: Peak

Didn't post last weak because I was down in Nasa doing a space settlement design competition, and didn't have any freaking internet.  Continued reading Peak and found Peak in a hotel in Katmandu, yes like the bob segar song.  So at this hotel Peak is getting ready for his climb by adjusting his body to the higher altitude.  His dad tells him that a converted monk will be taking his to the base camp in a while whilst his dad goes and talks to the customers he had to abandon when he heard of his son's arrest.
The chapter ends with the monk walking in and not saying a word but going over to the window and revealing a gorgeous sunset.  This book is well writen expecially that it is told through a kids eyes and it still has the kid being a fluent writer.  Still a good book, recomend to all who hate their books.

Memories

So this blog we are supposed to talk about our memories and a little about the sound and the fury.  for me I tend to be able to remember stuff better when it is words.  I am able to remember anything I read and ace a test over that subject.  In the sound and the fury the memories are probably very accurate.  If it is a big enough event for you to remember you know how to say exactly what happened and how things played out.  Since all these memories are from within their own mind there is no one else to skew their words of what they remembered.

IRA: Peak

So Peak is at the Airport, but his dad hasn't shown up yet.  So it goes into his back story on how his parents meet and stuff.  They were world class climbers that broke many records, till they had peak, his father didn't stay to see peak be born though.  His mother severely injured herself on a climbing trip and hasn't climbed since.  Then while living in Wyoming she meet Rolf her now husband and moved to Newyork, where he started to plan his trips up skyscrappers.
His dad and him barely get on the plane in time since his dad shows up late.  They then get held up in a couple different countries but he can't talk to his dad because his dad is busy talking to people on the phone.  They get to China and Peak has to take a huge physical and he doesn't know exactly why.  then his dad tells him that they are going to make a stop at EVEREST!!! (and climb it)
Peak must be walking on thin air!, I mean that is one of his life goals and he is going to get to do it!!! and set a record since he will do it before he is 15 and be the youngest kid ever to climb EVEREST!!

IRA: Peak

So internet wasn't working too well yesterday, but I didn't want to post on Thursday because I wanted to get a bit farther.  so where I am Peak is packing to leave with his father.  He is kinda excited, but then again he is leaving behind everything he has ever known.  I think this would be extremely hard, to leave everything you've known just to go with a man you hven't talked to in 7 years.  The only thing he is excited about is that he will be in the Mountains, a spot he can climb without getting into trouble.
I like this book way more than the other book I'm reading . . The Sound and The Fury.  SO so sooo much easier to read and get into.  I enjoy this book and am excited to read more of it.
