Journal Activity
I think that it would be safer to climb the bluffs because there are fewer things that can go wrong and they would be together. They would have lots of safety measures that they can control. If they were to go swimming, they could get swept away in the current, step in a sinkhole, or one of them could drown. On the bluffs, they would have a rope holding them up, and it would be easier to stay together. There are different skills needed to do each of the activities, but the rocks would be easier to climb. Tony is: daring, enthusiastic, bold, selfish, restless outgoing, adventurous, and reckless. He doesn’t care if he is putting himself or other people in danger, he just wants to have and adventure, and do something different that he has never done. He doesn’t want the same thing everyday; he wants change to happen, even if it is dangerous.
