Dave Conroy, in the story “A Mountain Journey” survived in the mountains because he was brave and adventurous and as a result was sometimes lonely. He was an adventurer who survived in the wild by finding food and trapping animals for a living. He also skied everywhere. He was bravely facing nature and will to survived by himself, even he was  attacked by animals, he didn't <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;"> complained that he could not ski. <span style="color: #ff0000; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">a <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">lso <span style="color: #ff0000; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">we <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">sometimes was lonely, he was alone in the hills for a long time and only he stayed in the mountain and survived.

If I was Dave Conroy, I would not try to skiing in the mountain, even thought if I had to go into the mountain, I would not have a brave to survived by myself. sorrowfully, he died but that is because he survived by himself bravely.

Nice work Ryo. Good ideas. 4/6
