Members Present: all members

Discussion Highlights:

- Met a man Connelly
- Bryson is often extremely nervous. He is pessimistic in a way thinking about murders that happen on the trail and wild life like cougars.
- Katz finally gave up as he did not return for the second half. He was too much thinking about work
- Is it a true hike if he takes breaks, uses his car, checks into motels, etc?
- Do you think Bryson has anything to worry about while traveling?

Section/Pages: pgs 70 - 143 (ch 6-11
Members Present: all members

Discussion Highlights:

- Katz is much less motivated than Bryson. He continuously begs to call off the trip for a few days in chapter 10
- We ended chapter 11 with an unnerving scene: there is an animal or animals around the partners camp site
- What does the author have in plan, we are about half way done with the book and they have only traveled “2 inches of a four foot map”
- Do you think the ending will be anticlimactic? How exciting can  the end of a hike be?

“On the fourth evening, we made a friend. We were sitting… and announced she would camp with us” page 51.

I find this quite humorous because Bryson recalls meeting a nice women, however, not too long after this it is explain how she was overly talkative and annoying and drive them to leave her behind. Towards the end of chapter 5 they decide it was rude to do that and while attempting to reconnect with her they find out she has been talking down about them to other hikers calling them “lazy” and “cowards”.

“Springer mountain, the launching off point in the south, is seven miles from the nearest highway.” This quote shows how remote the Appalachian trail really is. The trail is deep into the wilderness and very distant from any sort of civilization, such as the highway.

How and why were Katz and the Narrator overwhelmed and overcrowded in Chapter 6 of the story?

1. How successful was your group today in achieving your agenda?

Our group was very successful. We all read up to chapter five so in terms of content we all covered what we needed to.

2. How did your meeting go today?

Since we were all caught up to where we needed to be we were able to discuss and talk about the larger portions of the book.

3. How can your meetings become more effective?

I think next time we should go into more details. We all gave more broad points going into details only on a view points.

1. These chapters were just not as exciting so we did not have too depth of a conversation.

2. Our conversation is detailed when concerning plot but when we talk about more critical questions we all seem to talk much more. For example, we talked whether Katz was up for it or not. Along with that we talked about the validity of the hike. Should he get as much praise as he got?

3. We all agreed that this isn’t the best book. We all don’t love it but don’t hate it.

1. How successful was your group today in achieving your agenda?

We managed to read and stay up to paste. We were all on the same page and ready to discuss.

2. How did your meeting go today?

Today was only me and Tim as Lucio was sick. Even with a par of our group kissing we were very effective and had some valuable discussions.

3. How can your meetings become more effective?

I think next time we should go into further detail. While it’s important to consider the grand idea of the book it would be nice to have details to back it up.
