3. Avalanche

        I am have just finished my book. It was called Avalanche by Arthur Roth. When we left off last Chris was still in his hole in the snow waiting for someone to find him. He had just created a signal to help people be able to see where in the snow he was. He would rotate this thing every once and a while so it would flash is all directions. Chris was then on day seven and thinking of ways to kill himself so that he wouldn't have to starve to death. At that same time his brother, Terry, thought about the fight they had and how Chris said that he could go through Hidden Valley faster than Terry. So Terry decided to go out by himself and look for Chris. As he was going he noticed a bird peaking something in the snow. That something was the string holding together Chris's mirror and stick device. Then Chris had been saved by Terry. Chris only lost two of his toes and had made amends with his brother.
           I think that this is a really good book because it has a faster pace to it. There is always something happening, which also helps the book move faster. Then when you start to get into action in any book then you can't set it down. So for me this is a hard book to set down each time I start reading it.
            The reason I think the author wrote this book is to show to show that brothers are really closer than they are. They will always love each other no matter how big of a fight they get in. Maybe he had these moment with his own brother. I think the theme of this book is survival because it is about a boy trying to survive under feet of snow. That here are some ways to survive if you were ever stuck in a situation that Chris is in. My favorite character in the book is Chris because he is the only character that I really been able to make connections to. Through the book he has grown a lot. He has had time to think about he little things in his life. Like that he and his brother, Terry, may fight ,but he will always wish the best for him. A question I have in this book is will Chris make it out of the snow before he dies so he may tell Terry how much he really admires him.
