Alive

Q: 1

I would recommend this book for the fact that it was incredibly interesting that they survived and it kept you reading, and also that the book shows you incredible human spirit while the survivors struggle to stay together. The most interesting part of the book is when they realize that if they don’t eat the bodies of the dead then they will be dead themselves. Some of the eat the meat raw, and any part of it that is available to them such as a liver or a heart. Some where even brave enough to eat the brains. Others acted more conservatively and only ate when they had a fire and were therefore going to cook. None however would rather go hungry than brake the taboo of their old life. Their strength to overcome this taboo showed extraordinary bravery.

Monologue:

Damn, I left my sunglases near the creak. Thats at least 2 hours there, and another 2 back. Stupid me, I nead those sunglases otherwise ill go blind up here on these mountains. Should I tell Parado my mistake, or should I spare him the wait and continue without then. The worst part is that those sunglases werent even mine, they were Vizintins from when he turn back from the expidition. He'll think so badly of me if he finds out, those were the only pair any of us had and he trusted me with them. I could go get them, thats the best thing to do. But Parado wants to get moving before dark and I dont want to waste any of our food because I had to go back. I should tell him, I need those and I need to be loyal to Vizintin and return whats his. On the other hand we need to keep moving. After all, Chile is west...... I hope so at least. Anyway, thinking about it wont do any good, ill tell him, I hope he understands.
