Character Sketch Assignment ‘A Mountain Journey’

 Dave Conroy, the main character in ‘A Mountain Journey’, was a very confident, although  incautious, driven, determined man. These traits ultimately led him to his death, because he pushed himself too far until he became frozen. Because of past experiences, he believed that he could make it to the next cabin, 'He had never finished a day in the mountains yet without another ten miles up his sleeve.' The second most fateful trait of his was his confidence. His belief in himself and his physical abilities were far beyond his actual strength and endurance. His third most significant trait was his incaution(not a real word) ; he didn’t stop when he should have, despite the consequences. 'He knew as he stood on the summit that he should have made camp two miles back in the timber...'. But Dave’s most significant trait was his final loss of will power, which ultimately led to his death. 'Then he lay back for another moment, to rest;' falling asleep was Dave's biggest mistake. If Dave had been less persistent at first and more careful, he may not have died at the end of the story, it was his own actions that decided his fate.  Nice job Clare. Good use of quotes and support.
