The Strong Will Continue.

“Parrado said, ‘look there to the west. Don’t you see? To the left? Two mountains without any snow?’ Canessa said, ‘but they’re miles away. It’ll take us fifty days to get to them.’”

This quote stuck out to me because I liked the fact that even though the survivors of the plane crash were sick and tired those who were able to climb the mountains did so. It is highly important that the strong people in the group took the initiative to do as much as they were able to. This is important because without strong group leaders to ration the food and seek help they all would have ended up dying or resulting in ‘every man for themselves’.

I found it ironic that those mountains are known as being impossible to climb however due to their circumstanses they were able to overcome their circumstances and acheive the impossible.
