Discussion Questions

As you read, answer these questions on a separate sheet of paper. Be thoughtful and thorough in your answers.  You don’t need complete sentences, but complete answers. 

1.       Would having Buckley along have made any difference in any of Chris’s decisions?

2.       What similarities does the author see between himself and Chris?

3.       Is chapter 14 effective?  Does the author’s digression into his own life add to Chris’s story or detract from it? Considering the insertion of this chapter as a rhetorical strategy (longer personal anecdote), consider how Krakauer might have felt it would help the reader understand Chris or people with similar personalities and ambitions.

4.       What about climbing a peak/mountain appeals to an individual?  Does it appeal to you?  Why or why not?
