The Mountain Legend

Pg 52 Q 1 Responding to the story

a.) Would you describe Jason as courageous? Give reasons for your opinion.

Yes, I would describe Jason as courageous because he risked his life knowing the consequences because he wanted to prove that he was Cree and can be a warrior. He knew that it was dangerous and he didn’t even have much knowledge about being a part of the Cree heritage but he already wanted to prove that he could become a warrior. He mainly did it because of the peer pressure and prove to Ralph that we was right when he knew he was wrong. But on the other hand Jason’s peer pressure made Jason go but he didn’t think that what if he went all the way but got hurt and maybe even died, how was he going to prove it Ralph

Being a warrior meant he was part of the Cree culture. That Jason has creek her culture he had to show that he can he can be a warrior which is something that the Crees have common in their daily life that Jason has Creek hurt culture he had to show that he can he can be a warrior which is something that the Cree culture have common in their daily life and have adapted to. The reason why Jason has to he prove himself to Ralph is because he wants to show him that he can do it without him forcing him to do it and that he's not a chicken. Also, because Jason wants to show that he can be successful and even if he's part of another heritage then others are and at this age he can become a warrior even though he knows he …show more content…
Also,Jason didn’t like being called a chicken and he might have thought that if he does this then this means that Ralph and Barry would stop bugging him and letting him down. But, mainly he maybe thought that the wouldn’t be called a chicken after that because he did not like being called a chicken. No, I haven't experienced or witnessed something similar in my life so

    Why would a successful football star throw his life away? OJ Simpson, who previously and still continually accused of murdering Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, was an American Football Star Player, winning the Heisman Trophy in 1968. Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were both murdered outside of Nicole’s condo, and many believe it was OJ, but was it really? In the controversial court case of OJ Simpson, the verdict correctly appointed him innocent and acquitted him of the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman because his arthritis would have made it very difficult to commit murder, evidence proved him innocent, and his son had issues with knifes and continues to experience this.

    As Jason Taylor attempts to navigate the choppy sea that is adolescence, he often struggles to find his place among his peers. Just as young kids like Jason are trying to explore who they are, the cruel social hierarchy created by other students forces Jason, and other young boys, to try to fit into a rigid, outdated mold of stereotypical masculinity that causes Jason distress and conflict in his everyday life. The social expectations of being a boy cripple Jason’s self-esteem and force him to shun parts of himself that others deem unacceptable, like his love of poetry. Most of the conflict that Jason encounters throughout the novel could be avoided if he didn’t feel pressure to fulfill gender stereotypes. Throughout the glimpse at Jason’s life that we get to see, he is always hyper-aware of how his actions…
