"USFS 1919"

This story had alot of what i felt were good climaxes and it had very in depth detail, especially about where the story was plotted. Through the whole story I could imagine i was in the woods with the main character going through the same experiances. When this story began there was, I think, a little too much detailing when describing the people or the environment, but there is no way you could have not gotten the point of what they were trying to say; so that was good. On the way up the mountian the main character seemed to be so worried about his own story that he seemed to not just let things happen. After making the trip up the mountian I think the reader had a really detailed description of where the story is taking place. when the main character was sent up the mountian to watch for fires I think that is when we really got to learn more about him and his experiances. With the main character only being seventeen I admired his strength not only physically but mentaly. I can look back and remember what I was at that age and I can tell you one thing I would have never climbed up a mountian by my self. One of the things i really liked about this book is that i can relate to being in the mountians and growing up learning about them. When he talks about the mountians moving and looking at the mountians when he was little i could relate and it made me appretiate the story alot more. After the storm came in and he began to move down  the mountians i felt as though he was very brave. I got from the story that the main character was not only physically strong but mentally especially when he fixed the  signal line on his way down the mountian, and also when he began his trip walking into town. It was surprising to think that a seventeen year old would have that much drive to walk all that was and with no water. I persally didnt think he was going to make it all the way to town especially with no water. If I was Bill Bell I would have been proud to have such a determend young man working with me. After the character got into town i was not supprised that he got sick after haveing the ice cream; he haddent had water all day. I was supprised when he walked into the bar though because it seemed no one payed any mind to his age and now adays that wouldnt happen. When Bill and the rest of the crew got into town I felt as if the story was going to get alot more interesting. As the plan of going in to the casino and winning the money was in play I was pretty sure it was not going to unraval as the crew had planned. To my surprise their plan worked pretty dang good they got the money they had gone in for and everyone got out. At the end of the story I didnt expect the main character to give up his money to the chef. I also expected the main character to return the next summer and to my surprise he didnt do that either. Overall I think this story was very good and it had a lot of good details.
