Describe specific connections between both Into Thin Air and Into the Wild and your experiences in the many aspects of MSB.
The conection between both into thin are and into the wild is that in both books they go through extreme experiences to follow there dreams and pasion. and they are both examples of dedication and drive and all the things it would take to make there experiences posible. how this all comes back to connect to my expeince in working with the msb is that i choose a question that i wanted to answer and that i became pasionet about and its on a issue that i would like to be apart of the positive change. also i was determand to finish my project just like they were determand to do what they did.

#29 into thin air final draft
Analyze how specific mental and emotional qualities make a person fit to successfully climb Everest, but also possibly lead to disaster?
After reading " Into Thin air" I believe one would need a balance of mental and emotional qualities to ensure ones safe trip up the mountain, Everest. To much of anything is never good. you would need to be confident in yourself but not over confident because that could lead to death. other possible metal and emotional qualities that could lead to a disaster is trusting you teammates ,loyalty among teammates,arrogance, self reliance, believing that you can beat nature or that it can be tamed and thinking that since you paid so much money for a guide you will be taken up to the mountain top safely. But i believe that that this book shows moments that if there was a balance of most of these qualities it would end in a success.
confidence and dedication are very important to give you the strength to over come the conditions,difficulty of the climb and the misery one must go through when climbing Everest. but to ensure that you are safe and have the best experience possible one must not be over confident and stop when your body is telling you this is the end for me. In the book alot of climbers were forced to turn around right before they made it to the top because of the condition they were already in. these people are the ones with the balance of both confidence and dedication but they are not over confident and keep trying to climb when they know they can not make it any further. halls believes that the decision to turn back was more impressive than reaching the summit would have been. i think so to because these people are the ones who know there limits.
This brings me to the topic of arrogance. this is one of the topics that would always end in a disaster. The guide business is based off that. They are so arrogant and believe they can get any fit person up the mountain and this causes the clients to lower their guards and not really understand all the risks that go along with climbing Everest. Fischer even thinks that he has "built a yellow brick road to the summit" this frame of mind is good to get clients but its very bad because you can not control or tam nature. you cant avoid all the storms or avalanches because they can strike with out warning and it wouldn't matter how fit you are.
it is very important that you trust your teammates "one climbers action can affect the welfare of the entire team" krakaurs does not really trust his teammates because he believes they are not very experienced but when one is in trouble someone must help them and this can help to make the trip a successful one or it can lead to a disaster. This is also on the lines of loyalty this means that one would risk there own life's to help another and through out the journey you saw that some were very loyal and it lead them to there own death for example when hall was loyal to Hansen he wouldn't leave Hansen on the summit and then he died. that was to loyal and sometimes for your own safety you need to leave someone so if there was a balance i think there would not be so many deaths from loyalty.
Self reliance is a bad and good thing as you can see krakauer made it to the top and back and he was relied on him self through out the book because of lack of trust he would sometimes go ahead of the group and stray away. which made him rely on his own climbing experience. but him being alone all the time in solitude can be bad because alot of people died of solitude. so if you have a balance it could be very good because you can rely on your self but at the same time be close enough for help.
overall a balance of these quality are mostly needed to successful climb everst. but all in all NO one can really say what will make it successful because you are dealing with nature and anything could happen at anytime even if you have a certain mindset nature can never be tamed or predicted.

Analyze how specific mental and emotional qualities make a person fit to successfully climb Everest, but also possibly lead to disaster
mental and emotional qualities play a huge role in climbing everest becuase you
For someone to be able to do something that is very diffucult such as climb Everest. They need to first off be in the right state of mind becuase when your at high altitudes your metal state changes. if you are already in a bad emotional and metal state of mind it becomes very diffucult to go on. Along with the right state of mind you need to have confidence That you have the ablity so achieve your goal and make it to the top. if you lack confience you are more likly to give up when the journy to the top gets really hard. self control is another quality you would need to climb everest. when I say self control I mean that you are going at the right pace. also that you know your own limits, that your not trying to prove you are better then someone else at climbing or even showing that you can breath with out an oxegen tank at a very high altitude because that can lead to your death.
I think sometimes if you are over confiedent and have the mental frame of mind that you can do anything, such as be stronger then nature, or that mind set were you believe since you have done somthing like this before you can do anything. Then this can lead to a horribe disaster. I think if you have a balence of confidence and you know that you are dealing with nature. This would mean you know that it is capable of doing anything or haveing a strom at anytime.
I need to add evidence and expand on more ideas
work on the structure
talk about more mental and emotional aspects
make sure thesis is clear and answers the question
