A Southbound Adventure

Christine and her husband, John, decided to hike the PCT to Mexico. Before they started their southbound hike toward the PCT they planned to take a low elevation alternate route for the first  60 miles. They chose this route because they heard of the bad conditions that had been on the PCT for the first South bounders. Due to Christine's fear of heights this plan did not work in her favor. When she arrived at the next section through Glacier Peak it was very challenging for her.  She would run out of energy quickly and collapse in the snow from exhaustion.

No human being deserved the torture I left him to suffer" (pg.94). 1.This quotation indicates a conflict with person vs. self, because Phan is beating his self up on the insi...

Reflection/ Daily Blog

Reflection: In the Color Purple Mr.____ has been moping around since he has found out hat Shug Avery is in town. He was happy in the beginning but afterwards he became depressed and through that situation is showed how Celie and Mr.____ didn't have the bond that would be created during marriage. While dealing with that situation Harpo has found a women that he loves and he impregnated her hoping that her father would approve of his life with Sophia, his girlfriend. I don't understand why Mr.____ doesn't like Sophia because she hasn't done anything but still Harpo's heart. Harp sees that his dad will not approve of their relationship, but he married her anyway. When he married her their marriage seemed from the outside but on the inside they were struggling with roles because Sophia wasn't listening to Harpo. Harpo asked Celie for advice and she told him to beat Sophia which only made the situation worse. In my opinion Sophia shouldn't have told Harpo that ...
