Chapter four

     In chapter 4, they run into a new hiker named Mary Ellen. She is very talkative and Katz does not like how she always thinks she is right. This adds another hiker on their journey and i think it will make the story more adveturas.

"while we ate raisins and drank coffee, with flakes of toilet paper in it, Mary Ellen gorged on a multicourse breakfast of oatmeal, pop tarts, trail mix, and a dozen small squares of chocolate, which she lined up in a row on the log beside her"(76).

    Also in this chapter, they talk about the awarness of the trees being cut down and it gives us specific numbers of the damage that has happened to forests. He even thinks of a tree falling and crushing him on the trail.

"Of the forests services, 150 million acres of loggable land, about two thirds is held in store for the future"(67).
