"127 hours Between a Rock and a Hard Place" #2

 

I am reading a non-fiction book called “127 hours Between a Rock and a Hard Place” by Aron Ralston and so far I read 53/342 pages.

 

The main character in this non-fiction book is Aron Ralston who is also the man who wrote the book after this experience. He looks in good-shape since he is doing a 108 mile bike trail (after this he has an accident and breaks his arm). He seems to be a friendly and a co-operative person given that he was hiking with two other people for about 2 hours (they later separated). He’s optimistic - he is always happy and in high spirits during the trip (this of course changes after his accident). It is clear that he is enthusiastic about his trip since he can’t wait to get to the “Great Gallery”, which is a canyon where there are petroglyphs. Another clue about his positive personality is that he likes music - he brought with him a pair of headphones and his CD player.

 

Example for Arons’s good shape:

 

“My five-day road trip will culminate on Sunday night with an unsupported solo attempt to mountain bike the 108 mile White Rim Trail in Canyon lands National Park” (Ralston page 4).
