6. Sample Lit Response
I think it is really neat that Greg wanted to climb a mountain to honor his sister that passed away. In the book he said she died on her twenty-third birthday. I wonder how she died? I wonder if he will do something different for her since he didn’t reach his goal. Hopefully when he wakes up in the morning he will find Mouzafer quickly and be on his way.
