Jake Alternate Ending
The sun was like a glowing medallion in the sky. Jake was feeling jubilant as he was ascending up Mt Taranaki. Whilst ambulating up the mountain sights of exquisite scenery followed him such as graceful greenery with effulgent green leaves representing growth and harmony. Ahead of Jake was an extraordinary view of an alluring, deep blue lake which held the reflection of Mt Taranaki within. As Jake inhaled, the aroma of fresh country air filled his nose. After a long tiring walk, Jake felt fatigued and commenced to search for a spot to sit down and rest, fortunately, there was a grand towering tree which came to his rescue. Slowly but steadily Jake lowered himself down onto the brown crummy dirt, having little bits of soil becoming stuck to his clothes. …show more content…
Slowly picking himself up from the ground, he takes one look above himself and notices that there is a sign giving visitors a caveat that the rocks above are highly unstable, seeing this worries Jake as he does not want to become hurt or cause trouble. Whilst walking away and brushing the dirt off his gluteus maximus, he assumes he heard the sound of rocks moving but he blames it on his imagination, but a few footsteps further he hears the rumbling noise again. Feeling angst Jake dramatically turns around and looks above to see from a high point as high as the clouds rocks are tumbling down the side of the mountain heading straight for him. Jake suddenly started to panic and out of fear he cannot move, as his whole body is shaking like a pair of maracas, and his face resembling a hot tomato. Not knowing what to do tears start to fall out of Jake’s eyes as he thinks ‘this is it’ Finally realizing the alarming situation he is in, he gets himself together and tries to run as fast as he can away from the tumbling rocks from

    We were all sucked dry from the sun that day with zero energy left, we scavenged what we could and we still ate better than we could have at any local dinner. The day was still long and was only going to get hotter and longer even as the day came to a close. There was more things to do around the land than there was at any theme park. So as we all sat around and waited for something to do you could tell that everyone was thinking the same thing as sweat poured down all of our faces. The cold spring fed creek was the only thing that was going through my mind and I knew that was the only thing going through anyone else’s. We walked down to the creek as there was no other way that you could reach it, and as we got closer and closer you could hear the light eco of the fifteen foot waterfall coming off of the trees. The only thing I was looking for was the spit of the water flowing up through the large oak and misquote tree branches. You knew when everyone saw the water, you could see the sight of the crystal clear water shining off of everyones eyes and you could tell that there was a sudden sign of relief that came upon everyone after the long walk through the large misquote trees avoiding as many thorns and cactuses as they possibly could, being careful as could be you weren't going to miss all of them. And there was no better feeling than soaking your wounds in that…

    The author uses both captivating diction and imagery to highlight his fascination with Everest while retaining an underlying ominous mood. Like many, the alluring quality of the mountain entices Krakauer and he becomes obsessed with the idea of conquering it. On the way to camp four, the author stops on the crest of the Spur to note that “the thin air had a shimmering, crystalline quality that made even distant peaks seem close enough to touch. Extravagantly illuminated by the midday sun, Everest’s summit pyramid loomed through intermittent gauze of clouds” (Krakauer 160). By using words such as “shimmering”, “crystalline”, “extravagantly” and “illuminated”, the author expresses the mysterious and enchanting beauty of the mountain and creates a visual image that allows the audience to experience and appreciate it as well. Although he is climbing in extremely harsh conditions, Krakauer focuses on the beauty of his surroundings, demonstrating his fascination with the mountain and his romanticized attitude towards Everest. However, by describing the mountain as “looming” through the “gauze” of clouds, the author hints at a harsh attitude towards Everest as well as a foreboding mood that is constantly surrounding him. Yet Krakauer is blinded by the elusiveness of Everest and recognizes the danger as an inescapable part of his journey to reach the summit. Furthermore, the author also uses imagery along with diction to express his attitude towards Everest and its surroundings. While leaving the Col, Krakauer notices that “the night had a cold,…

    The mountains were stone dark, secured with trees whose hues were a blend of woodsy cocoa, knoll, key lime, and margarita green. Scattered powder-puff mists gradually fled over the sky and the sun feed like a bolt. Seeing this made me feel like I inadvertently touched base to paradise. I breath gradually, attempting to recall each snapshot of me being encompassed by woodland, sky, and mountains. We began climbing the gigantic mountain, talking, grinning and chuckling together. After like an hour we sat down for a moment on an immense uneven and dusty rock close to the waterfall. The wind that blew through the trees into our confronts now conveyed a light sprinkle from the waterfall, and a clue of peace. The sound of the wind shrieking, the waterfall smashing against the stones and the fowls singing their wonderful tunes, made me feel considerably more joyful than I was at that point. We began moving to the top once more. My legs began to hurt yet I didn't give an indication of my torment. I raised my eyes to the sky, and my sight fell on the hawk who skimmed over the wind. At that time, I craved flying as well, over the mountains and over the oceans. I strolled slower now, thinking how brilliant it would be to fly, and the greater part of the…

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…

    They had to be careful when footing because they could not even see their hands as it was so dark, taking each step with care otherwise it could be their last. The rain pummeled them against the cliff face, it made the journey even worse as they were fleeing from the Black Sould. Not even five foot from them, lightning struck the ground leaving a black patch of ash from where it disintegrated the surrounding brush, thunder split the atmosphere in two causing the unsteady rocks above to lose balance and come crashing down narrowly missing the two. Once the rocks had passed Dabbley gazed upon the mountains searching for any other loose debris, but before Dabbley could react a small stone hit him in the face forcing him to lose control of his footing, slipping on the moss coated stone. Before he could even comprehend what happened he was plummeting to his death. In a split second Ishka reached out for his hand clamping onto his arm lifting him from certain death. Juddering, struggling to lift her companion from death, she swings him from left to right until finally he is able to pull himself up. With a grin Dabbley sarcastically says "well, that was interesting we should do that again sometime." Ishka laughs under her breath before saying "I can't…

    A haggard sigh slithered up her sweater. Laura felt the dirt sewing her feet down and joining the rolling roots of the Douglas firs, which wriggled up her legs and coiled about her hips. Leaves and soil kissed her bound ankles. A horribly familiar claw rose to meet her neck. She wailed, only to find her mouth clamped shut and something burrowed inside.…

    y nightfall the familiar trees and rocks of the daytime took on a new ominous form. It was as if by stealing their colours the night also stole their friendly spirits and replaced them with malicious demons. The stars and the moon could not make them seem any less threatening. Even the shadows now were swallowed by the invading darkness. In the gathering gloom the stars and the moon shone brighter in the sky, as if to remind them that even in the darkness there is light.…

    ‘Tim, must I remind you that tonight is the last night before we reach the shores of Cuba, I have used the rest of the ingredients that were soon to go off.’ The cook exclaimed as he came bursting through the doors with a steaming hot pot. As he set it down on the long wooden table, a waft of smells hit our noses sending us into a hungered frenzy. As all the sailors started to reach forward to scoop the contents from the pot, the cook slapped their hands away. ‘Hey!…
