Chapter 10-11 blog Cworkman

Chapter 10

1- Walt is a very intelligent man, who once worked at NASA. Chris as we know was a very smart kid too, being placed in advanced classes due to high testing scores. It seems that Chris received his fathers smarts. “ In the third grade, after receiving a high score on a standardized achievement  test, Chris was placed in an accelerated program for gifted students.” page(106
2-Walt and Chris both liked to be adventurous. The two of them liked going on camping trips together.  “Later we bought a airstream trailer and traveled with that.Chris loved those trips,  the longer the better. There was always a little wanderlust in our family, and it was early on that Chris had inherited it” page (108) Walt explains.

Chapter 11

 1- When Chris was little he always wanted to be by himself and found ways to play by himself. He. “He could be alone with out being lonely.” page (107) Chris liked being with his friends, but found that being by himself he liked better. I believe thats why he took his trip by himself so he could be in the wilderness, where he liked to be, and be himself with no one with him.
2- When zChris and his dad wen’t on their backpacking trip, Chris would always follow his dad up to where he would climb to. Chris always wanted to go to the highest point he could get to.“Chris was fearless when he was little, he says...he didn’t think the odds applied to him. We were always trying to pull him back from the edge.” page (109) When people know that Chris is planning to go on trips, they try to make him change his mind and not go on the trips, because its not something they would do. He was fearless and knew what he could handle, so he never listened.
