Further Reading of Into Thin Air

While reading the next chapters in the story, the author still is discussing historical figures and facts that have once taken place on Mount Everest before this certain expedition. I think it's important to compare and have the reader be educated on what to possibly expect in the next expedition.
I also really enjoy how detailed the story is. I enjoy how the author likes to state exactly the height of where the climbers are and the view of that height and really helps the reader to see the picture in their mind. It really can help the reader and audience to feel more involved in the book and/or expedition and almost feel like if they really let themselves go; they can even become part of the expedition.

What is Non-Fiction?

Non-Fiction to me is a story that is true. Whether it be someone telling a true story about something else, or even someone telling a story to the audience; it's a story that actually did take place and has actually happened making the story very real and alive.

Critical Response for Into Thin Air

While reading the first few chapters of Into Thin Air, I really am enjoying it so far. I really thought it was very important that the narrator of the story at the beginning made sure to explain all the historical information about Mt. Everest and exactly what kind of people have tried to climb it with others.
I really liked finding out where the name came from and also that small features on parts of the mountain were also named after people in their memory.
I'm very excited and curious to keep reading the rest of the story to find out what happened, but I think this was a great way to start off the story and educate the reader on what they're reading before they read the entire story.
