Mt. Everest
In the video In thin Air Death of Everest produced by Atlas Media, and the article ¨Into Thin Air¨ by Jon Krakauer gave us amazing first- hand accounts of the triumph, and the 1996 tragedy. On Mt. Everest climbers have to scale 29,035ft to the summit and the climbers had to wear a lot of layers of clothes to try to stay alive on the mountain. But still not all climbers make it back down the mountain. Some die from frostbite and some fell off the mountain. The video and the article are alike in many different ways. They compare in 5 different categories, attention grabbing technique, structure, complexity, objectivity, and emotional impact.
The first category that I will talk to you about is the attention grabbing technique. The video had a different way of getting the people's attention, it used music, maps, etc. to make get the viewers attention. The article used quotes, and real thoughts of Jon Krakauer a survivor of the 1996 Mt. Everest tragedy. The article also use some of the same techniques to get the viewers attention like flashbacks, and pictures.

The next category is I will tell you about is structure. Structure is the sequence the story is in. The video had interviews, many points of view, and …show more content…
Complexity is how much info is given. Both give lots of info on Mt. Everest, but ¨Into Thin Air¨ had more detail on just one climb, and the video Air Death of Everest had lots of info on the mountains history. The video gives lots of info on how the climb to the summit has evolved over the time, and the article gave greats mounts of info on the 1996 Tradeady. The 1996 tragedy was when 8 people died on Mt. Everest making it the deadliest day in Mt. Everest until April 18, 2014 when 16 climbers died. I think the videos complexity was better than the article because it gave more
