everest



I chose these pictures becasue they are basically what the story is about.
Its also about achieving something even though people say you wont be able to.
Theres alot of mountains because thats where most of the book takes place. There is also smily faces and hope signs because Erik didnt give up when he went blind, he kept going and climbed one of the tallest mountains. There is also a little baby girl symbol in the collage because Erik and his wife have a baby girl.

spiders vs. wasp

I really wouldn't want to study either one of these species. They are just gross! The tarantula is all like big creepy crawly and everything, and the wasp just kind of creep me out a bit. But, that is just me.

Erik Weihenmayer

I would have to say that he is an inspiration because hes a blind person who climbed mount Everest. I could never do something like that mainly because I don't like being up high.
