Read Chapters 20-21 and write a 200 word journal (journal 8).
What do you think about Mortenson's attempts to get into Afghanistan, despite the dangers of post 9/11?
John Krakauer (he wrote "Into the Wild", for those of you who were in my reading group last year) speaks very highly of Mortenson in chapter 20. Now, Krakauer is leading the accusations against Mortenson in a short e-book called "Three Cups of Deceit" (go here to read about it: http://www.amazon.com/Three-Cups-Deceit-Humanitarian-ebook/dp/B004XHVOW4). What are your thoughts about this turn of events?
We'll talk more about this in class next week, but start thinking about it now -- you'll be writing your own response to Krakauer!
