"The mountain was so high that the clouds seemed to touch the top. I was amazed by the beauty, but also a little scared. The air was thin, and I could barely breathe. As I stood there, I wondered what it must have been like for those who came before me, climbing this mountain with nothing but their will and determination. I could only imagine the struggles they faced." Open-ended Critical Thinking Question: How does Amira’s point of view affect the way we understand her experience? How would the story change if it were told from another character's perspective, such as one of the early mountain climbers? Amira’s point of view shows her wonder and fear as she faces the mountain, making us feel her amazement and the difficulty of the experience. If the story were told from another point of view, like that of an early climber, we wouldn’t get to experience Amira's feelings of awe and fear. Her perspective allows us to understand her emotional reaction to the mountain. 4 1. What was the narrator’s first impression of Gombe National Park upon arriving on July 16, 1960?
