Karl Sherman Chapter 1 Summary

Decent Essays
In chapter ten, Walt and Eric make it to the Echimamish River. Karl Sherman gives them very good advice about what river to take and about the river. He told them the Hayes was low and would have to do a lot of walking. He recommended they take God’s River instead, but there is many rapids he said on God’s River so they need to be careful. He also said, “If you don’t know much about rapids, you’d better learn before you hit that one.” This must mean that the rapids at that point must be very dangerous. I think they will make it by the 20th because they said they should make it in two weeks easily, and after their two weeks they still have a few extra days to spare.

    Grant Penrod makes the argument that academic achievement should be rewarded just as much if not more than athletic achievement. Penrod believes that nerds are disliked because of their intellectualism, yet the reason they are excluded from social activity is due to a self-fulfilling prediction. He shares with us that today’s society tends to glorify non-intellectuals, such as athletes and celebrities, while the intellectually skilled individuals get left on the sidelines with little recognition for their accomplishments. Most high schools contribute to anti-intellectualism. Several people will not remember who the valedictorian in their graduating class was, but they will most likely remember the star quarterback.…
