changing? Explain
Pages Read: 351 (all)
Book: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Warning: May Contain Spoilers

     Today, I've finished the book, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place." This book is about how a man named Aron Ralston went hiking in a Canyon in Utah. He didn't tell anyone where he was going, or what he was doing. He faced three major problems in this story. That's what I'm going to be telling you about.

     Aron Ralston (the author and the character in the story) went on a hiking trip in Utah and fell into a canyon. When he was grappling down the canyon, an 800 pound boulder fell on his arm (problem 1). He was trapped down there. He tried to chip away parts of the boulder to free his arm with a knife, but he eventually dropped the knife (problem 2). Now, this is a true story, and everyone need food and water to survive. Aron had a water container, but then dropped it (problem 3). He was stuck down in that canyon for 127 Hours. He eventually, had to get out. So he decided to cut his arm off.

    Today, Aron has a pickaxe for an arm (since he doesn't have an arm anymore) and went to climb many mountains and overcame his fear of ever hiking again. This story is very inspirational because it shows how he has the perseverance and determination to get out of the canyon. He also overcame his fear of ever hiking again. Aron and many other people can learn something from this book, and most likely have learned something from this book. BE CAREFUL!!!
