He talked about the struggle it was to leave his wife to how hard it was to actually live on Everest. He showed himself as a strong individual who didn't want to be only seen as a writer but also as a climber. When invited to stay at base camp and write an article on the climb Jon asked to take part in the climb because if didn't he, "thought it would be unbearably frustrating to spend two months in the shadow of Everest without ascending higher than Base Camp." The film portrayed him solely as a writer for the Outsiders and not as someone who fought to climb the mountain and be able to encounter tough situations in person rather than sitting back and listening to the other members' stories. However the film, disregarded Jon Krakauer's existence altogether and focused on those who paid the full price and had a motive for climbing. This showed Jon Krakauer in a completely opposite way because in the film he was just the writer who would be talking about the push to summit, but in the book he became a member of the crew and a part of their "family".]]> 2018-10-17 03:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293674581 19cadye https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293674711 Jon Krakauer speaks out in an article by The Guardian addressing the encounter of him in his tent and Anatoli asking him for help by saying, "I had never had that conversation. Anatoli came to several tents, and not even sherpas could go out. I'm not saying I could have, or would have. What I'm saying is no one came to my tent to ask." The filmmakers manifested this scene in this specific way to shed light on the fact that no one in this moment would be able to help showing how helpless they climbers really were. They only wanted to take a point of view from a character who was not made important throughout the film to show how helpless they really instead of using a main character who had a relationship and duty to save the climbers. ]]> 2018-10-17 03:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293674711 19cadye https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293674752 As the crew was ascending to Camp Two in the memoir Into Thin Air Jon Krakauer stumbled upon a large mass in the snow. Jon described how he felt by stating he was left dazed and couldn't comprehend exactly what the mass was. After finding out from Rob Hall that the mass laying on the ground was a Sherpa that died on the mountain it left him shocked and lost in thought for several hours. Still shaken up by the body, Jon Krakauer ran into another body in the snow but this time wasn't as affected as he was the first time. The thought of being the next one who could be laying in the snow dead left Jon's mind and instead was replaced with it being almost a normal thing to see and think. This scene was not shown in the film which impacted the film greatly in the way that it did not shed any light on the fact that there are many other bodies wrapped up and left in the mountain or the reaction from the climbers when stumbling upon them. As small as this scene played out to be it showed the readers and even Jon Krakauer how real of a risk this climb really can be, without this event in the film no one truly understood how dangerous the ascent would be.]]> 2018-10-17 03:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293674752 19cadye https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293675074 1. Near the end of the film Rob Hall struggles to save Doug Hansen in the descent from the summit. While telling Doug to sit and wait for him to get back with help, Doug Hansen is in a mental state where he does not comprehend anything happening around him. Doug tries to stand and clip his hooks on the rope but fails and falls off the side of the mountain after wobbling back and forth. The accuracy of his death is from the lack of knowledge they have about how he actually died because no one witnessed it and if they did they died on the descent too.
 
2. On the descent back down the mountain the crew encounters a storm that ruins their experience. One moment they are walking down the mountain with no struggle and then the next no one could see and the snow pierced their skin causing them to take shelter and wait it out. The intensity and suddenness of the storm comes faster than a storm would normally take. The producer of the film did this to keep the severity of the scene because if the storm took a while to hit them they might have already been down to camp and in a sheltered location.

3.  After Rob decided it was time to head back down from the summit he ran into a very beat down Doug struggling to make it to the peak. A couple minutes after arguing with Doug about going back down Rob makes the decision to bring Doug to the summit knowing he won't make it back next year. The two of them had a conversation on the way to reach the summit. but no one knows what was truely said or if they even talked during the push. The filmmaker added this scene in the movie to add to the drama and intensity of the moment. In addition, it gave a feeling relief to the audience in the way that it get them know Doug finally made it to the summit after trying so hard. ]]> 2018-10-17 03:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293675074 19cadye https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293675289 The memoir:  Through Jon Krakauer's point of view in the memoir, he used a respectful tone towards his crew members and also towards the Sherpas. The memoir holds more emotion because the readers get to understand the people and situations better.

The film:  In Everest,  the point of view was mainly focused on Rob Hall and Scott Fischer and their determination to get to the top of the mountain. There were no true feelings or emotions felt throughout the tone of the film only determination to reach the summit.  ]]> 2018-10-17 03:31:11 UTC https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293675289 19cadye https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293675501 Memoir Themes:
            -  Commercialism on Everest: The memoir focuses on the amount of profit going to each team and even the price at which each climber needs to pay in order to be trained and brought up to the summit.


Film Themes:
          - Summit fever and determination: Throughout the whole film the audience is reminded constantly that many of the climbers have tried to summit and failed or they have climbed other dangerous mountains so now they feel the need to get the satisfaction of climbing the last one.

Jon Krakauer carefully takes the time to explain the other groups climbers and give insight as to how they were doing on the climb. He used detail to explain what Everest truly looked like and what he encountered on the way, like the bodies of the sherpas who died while working on the mountain. The film never bothered to give any thought on anything other than the push for the summit. The makers of Everest wanted to make it all about the brave people who climbed the mountain, but while doing so left out majors details or included things that didn't even happen to add to the story.]]> 2018-10-17 03:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293675634 19cadye https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293675960 Jon Krakauer told the journey of the crews climb with more detail and clarity than in the film. The film focused solely on the Adventure Team climbing the mountain bit by bit and all the major events and challenges faced while going to summit. While the film  gave no insight on the other groups summiting, Jon Krakauer went into clear detail of what group came from where and also their struggles and issues. This added to the story because it let the audience see that not only did Rob Hall's team struggled, but also many other groups did too. Jon Krakauer included a little of all of the groups struggles while their push to the summit and their descent. He went into detail about his stay their and how harsh the weather conditions were which is something that no producer can do in a film with just showing the storm or the weather. It lets the reader picture more clearly and understand what it is like to be living on the mountain for six weeks.]]> 2018-10-17 03:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/293675960 19cadye https://padlet.com/19cadye/pow2j2i9amav/wish/296093808 Pulver, Andrew. “'Total Bull': Into Thin Air Author's Opinion of Everest Movie.” The Guardian, Guardian
