How We Respond To Joe

One of the first things we respond to Joe is that we sympathise with him due to the situation he is in now. As he has broken his leg whilst descending the mountain, we feel fear for him as we can tell he believes he will die. It makes us feel sorry for him. “I’ve broken my leg, that’s it. I’m dead”. This shows us that Joe is upset and has accepted defeat. The simple sentence, “I’m dead.” tells us that Joe seems to have given up without trying, believing there is no point.
 
Another thing we respond to is how we doubt Joe. “I’m dead.” tells us that Joe believes he is about to die, which also makes the readers feel like he is going to die. He is not really expected to live through what he has been through after all the trauma that had went on with his leg.
 
After Joe had stopped worrying about his injury, he is somewhat inspired by simon’s determination and his morale starts to increase. Simon and Joe both start thinking of ways that they can get down the mountain. “If we dig a big bucket seat, I should be able to hold you”. This inspired Joe as it shows that Simon is trying hard to hold on to Joe so they can both survive the descent of the ‘Siula Grande’ even with Joe’s broken knee, other than Simon ditching Joe and making him find his own way back to the base camp.
 

This is Your Online Domain

Hello and welcome to your personal online journal.

Edutronic has been created to enhance and enrich your learning at the London Nautical School. Its purpose is to provide you with an audience for your work (or work-in-progress) and you have the choice (by altering the ‘visibility’ of your posts) of whether your work on here is visible to the world, or only to your teacher.

Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.

Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Edutronic main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.

If you have any questions for your teacher, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. Your teachers are am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.

Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning!
