Dan Gemeinhart uses a  lot of techniques, and it is really satisfying for me to read. Here are the techniques that he used.
1. The first technique is descriptive setting. The author does a great job describing the mountains, the villages, and everything. There are  mountains in both books, but thanks to the descriptive setting technique, the mountains look very different in my mind. The mountain in  'Some Kind of Courage' is a calm peaceful  mountain, with natural resources, grass, trees, and other natural resources that  you can imagine in a family  picnic. Which also means that there are wild animals. As in 'The Honest Truth' the  mountain is filled with snow, it is dark,  it's windy, and more. It's filled with storms and it is really hard to climb, and  it is definitely not a picnic place.

I really liked the pacing of the book because it made me grip the edge of the seats, filled with emotion and I don't even know the pacing. When the pacing gets slower at important times, it makes me think, and all these emotions bursts out in me, like I'm actually in the story, which is really important because it helps you process the important moments, to see how important they are and to feel like your actually in the book. The pacing also helped you escape boredom to add on that, because at boring times like doing nothing, eating dinner, and climbing mountains, the story gets faster so we know what's going on, but not filled with boredom.

The patterns/similarities in both books
1. There are 2 main characters in both books. Personally, I did not really enjoy  this since it felt like a simple boring narrative that is read every single day. If it had more than 2 characters, and they had  complex backstories, and brought out inner  thinking, that is what I would have enjoyed.
2. Suspense has been in both books, and I liked it so much. In some kind of courage,  in the grizzly bear  scene, they build  suspense by making the pace  longer, making the readers think 'are they going to survive?' and they lengthen scenes like that such as  the indian boy scene with the knife, as it  made me worried.  These moments make me feel like I'm actually watching this all happening live.

3. Ending was both rushed for both books. I  did not  like this at all since the build ups for both books were so good, however both books it felt like the author wanted the book  to get over with. For example, in some kind of courage the ending was just seeing the horse getting traded and  then in 5 pages it was resolved, and at the honest truth they finished climbing the mountain and it was just finished. The build-ups were so good, but the ending was just disappointing rather than satisfying.

'Many minds are better than one'
In the book 'The Honest Truth' there is a lot of evidence for the theme. The whole story contains two main characters. Marc, the main character, and  the secondary character Beau, which is actually a dog. Through the book, there was one scene where Marc's money for the bus to get to Mt.Rainer and to get food was robbed by a gang/bullies. Luckily Beau barked them off and even though Marc was still left, he had $20, but without Beau, Marc might have not have any money left, which could lead up to starvation  since this  scene was before they had dinner, so thanks to Beau, they still have hope.

The second evidence for 'The Honest Truth' is actually not evident in the book itself, but within deep thinking. For example, when they were climbing Mt.Rainer, there were a lot of moments where they had to fight through the rain and the snowstorm, and when the dog saw how much Marc wanted to climb this mountain just to grant his grandfather's wish, the dog tried harder even though the dog might have wanted to give up. and same actually goes to Marc, he saw how much his dog cared, which led him trying harder. And at the end, after the fight the winds and the storms, they finished climbing themountain, thanks to each other.

'Many minds are better than one'.
First of all, for the book 'Some kind of Courage' there are a lot of factual evidence for this theme. For example, one third through the book there was a scene where a wild dangerous grizzly bear was on the loose. If Ah Kee was alone, no one would have been there to let him know there was a bear, leading him into a severe injury or even death, however Joseph as he was running took his valuable time to let Ah Kee now.  And later in the scene, where the grizzly bear was down, Joseph was there about to kill the grizzly bear, but with Ah Kee, he realized that the better decision was to let the bear live, as the bear also had cubs.  Without multiple minds he wouldn't have made the ride decision, leading the cubs not having a mother.

The second evidence for 'Some Kind Of Courage' is really the whole story. The story might've felt like it was mainly about Joseph getting his horse back, but it's about the power of multiple people, and how the whole story revolved around Joseph helping Ah Kee to achieve his goal, which was to find his family. He gave food to Ah Kee who could've starved to death because he haven't eaten in 3 days, he showed and followed Ah Kee the ways to the destination, he helped him fight off the bear, the mountains, the Indian boy with the knife, and the Indian village, which achieved Ah Kee's goal. Without Joseph, Ah Kee would have never achieved the goal, which was to find his family. And same goes to Joseph, without Ah Kee, Joseph would've never achieved his goal, which was to get his dear pony back.
