These passages are both alike and different in many ways. The two passages are similar because they both revolve around Mt. Everest and climbers. The first…

Southeastern Utah might as well be the surface of Mars. Between the buttes and mesas of an arid landscape, where tumbleweeds blow across the roads, sagebrush grows from the cracked nutrient-rich soil, and prickly pears sprout under rusted, broken rock, there is little besides long stretches of open wilderness. In the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, while much of the climbing community fixated on the Yosemite Valley, and the world’s attention was captivated by the Himalayas, a group of Colorado…

Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. It stands 29,029 feet up. It is the most dangerous mountain to even attempt to climb. There is massive crevasses and icefalls sometimes even an avalanche “Climbing is as close as we can get to flying”. This quote means try your best to reach the top of your goals.

My paper will talk about Mt. Everest staying open or should they close it. I believe that they should shut it down for a little while.
