It helps me better understand the story. All living unfair lives. Many have read __"Peak"__ by Roland Smith and think it is about a boy named Peak who has to leave New York because he climbed a skyscraper. __Peak is really about a boy who never stops cimbing and is very courageous.__ ======

__When peak finds out he has to leave New York, he is devastated.__ He has committed so many federal crimes like criminal trespass, vandalism and reckless endangerment."The Greene Street School?" The judge smiled for the first time." It just so happens that I went to GSS when I was a kid." I didn`t know they had legal prodigies. The judge waved the prosecutor up to the bench, where they had a long whispered conversation.When it was over he looked at all of us one by one. "All right," he said." This is what we`re going to do. Peak, you are on probation until you reach the age of eighteen. If, during that time, you break a law in the state of New York, thus violating your probation, you will immediately serve out the rest of your time in a juvenile detention facility. Do you understand?" Peak is to got to Tibet to finish an "assignment" with his dad : climb Everest. ======  __Then, Peak flies to Tibet to climb the mountain that has the highest death rate.__ Peak is scared to climb to Base Camp which sets at 18,044 feet. he has to bear negative temperatures, Tibetan soldiers and snow covered rocks in free fall. Most of the climbing time is spent in the six camps along the route, letting your body get used to the thin air. If you go up too fast, you might get mountain sickness, or High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE). Here`s how HAPE works: Your lungs fill with fluid, you can`t camp breathe you go into a coma, then you die. Peak was so creeped out that he never wanted to start the climb. Once again, he was talked in to going up by his dad and climbed a little ways with the four Buddhists, Yogi, Yash, Sun-jo and Zopa. They reach Camp Two and stay there for a few days to get used to the altitude.

__Finally ,Peak is compassionate.__ He let his dad take him to Tibet to climb while he is on probation. "Why do you want to do this?" the judge asked. Peak is my son. It`s time I stepped up and took some responsibility". I looked at my mother and Rolf. they were both staring straight ahead, expressionless."What do you think?" the judge asked. he also let Sun-jo become Youngest Kid to Climb Everest.

__Clearly, Peak has alot of positive traits.__ He has shown compassion and honesty, courage and scare. He is an amazing climber and foes not want to stop he is never in neutral and always thinks of others before himself. He does the best thing and the right thing. Many people think __Peak__ is about a boy who had to leave New York because he climbed a skyscraper. I think it is about a boy who never stops climbing and is courageous.
