his short stories, his views on war, death,
religion, love, and for a twist, the supernatural
are blatantly illustrated. His experiences in his
own life evidently shaped his literary works, and

education, other than that from his one-year stay
at the Kentucky Military Institute, his writing

In Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air, a non-climbing
reader is thrown into a flurry of new vocabulary
and surprising events. At many points in the book,
confusion and excitement set in simultaneously.
There are many aspects of this story that prove to

determining tone throughout the book. It was
