By James Ramsey Ullman Fundamentals of Literature (pp. 35-50) Top Man By James Ramsey Ullman Fundamentals of Literature (pp. 35-50)

About the author . . . . James Ramsey Ullman (1907–1971) was an American writer and mountaineer. The books he wrote were mostly about mountaineering. His works include Banner in the Sky (which was filmed in Switzerland as Third Man on the Mountain), and The White Tower (which would star Glenn Ford and Lloyd Bridges). He was the ghost writer for Tenzing Norgay's autobiography Man of Everest (originally published as Tiger of the Snows). Several books were produced as major motion pictures. [High Conquest, The White Tower, River of The Sun, Windom's Way, and Banner in the Sky--which was also a 1955 Newbery Honor book.] He also wrote the short story "Top Man", a story about mountaineers climbing K3, a mountain in India. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Ramsey_Ullman http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://diglib.princeton.edu/ead/bioghist-images/

About the author . . . . “It is the ultimate wisdom of the mountains that we are never so much human as when we are striving for what is beyond our grasp, and that there is no battle worth the winning save that against our own ignorance and fear.” - James Ramsey Ullman http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://diglib.princeton.edu/ead/bioghist-images/

Review: Characters dynamic—changing or growing characters also “round” static—unchanging or one-dimensional characters also “flat” Note: sometimes inanimate objects play the roles of characters protagonist—the central character for whom the reader feels sympathy many times the hero but not always antagonist—the character who opposes the protagonist opposing force not necessarily bad or evil
