=
Type of Conflict: Man vs Environment
Describe the main conflict: Dave Conroy travelled far and is alone in the winter wilderness, the environments around around him can be worse than he thought.
Describe the Climax of the Story: The climax of the story is the moment Dave Conroy crossing the river, when the river being cracked, everyone think he going to die, and how can he solve the problem.
I think that is the most nervous moment in the story.
If this is the climax then everything after it is conclusion. Does this make sense?
How does the Protagonist change over the course of the story?
He changes over the course because he should of done what he was suppose to do but didn’t and died. Vague
Describe the relationship between the title and the theme.
I think the the theme of this story is "don't give up is the beginning of success"or " give up is the beginning of unsuccess". So if a person trying to finish a mountain journey, he will success if he don't give up. If he give up, he will never finish the full run, like this story tell us the consequence of give up.
How does the main conflict help to illustrate the theme?
The main conflict is Man vs Environment, he is fighting over this bad environment around him, he knew that was a chance to left him get out of this bad environment, so he didn't give up, that helps to illustrate the theme of the story.
How does the climax help to illustrate the theme?
when his hands fall into the icy water, he still not giving up, even his hands getting numb and cold.
That help to illustrate the theme by the spirit of non giving up.
Give examples of each of the following literary terms in the story (use quotes):
Simile: "That tree, like a strong and lonely women, called to his weary body to stop"."His skis had sunk a foot in the new snow, white and soft as flour".
Metaphor: "The world was growing small,dying slowly in the darkness of the sunlight".
" The long white avenue of the river opened before him, lined on either side by tall spruce trees".
Personification: "His neckerchief flapped in the wind on the snow beside his cheek". Not Personification!
" That tree, like a strong and lonely women, called to his weary body to stop"."The loud wind howling in crescendo by his ears".
Symbol: "His skis had sunk a foot in the new snow, white and soft as flour".Snow is the symbol of this story.
Foreshadowing (give both elements): "Dave Conroy has travelled far and is alone in the winter wilderness". That give a hint about he will being danger in the wilderness.
Irony: How good to rest! How soft and warm the snow! Why is this ironic?
Imagery : "He was tired that his mounth was dry with the taste of salt".
Describe the relationships between the class theme and the story.The relationship between them is that he makes decision in the story but it's a mystery because they never really happen. I don't get what you are saying here. This should be a paragraph.
