📖 My Side of the Mountain

"My Side of the Mountain" is about a boy named Sam who is living in the Catskill mountains of New York state. He learns to live independently and learn about companionship. The conflict of this story is that Sam has to survive in the forest alone, while winter is coming and he would not survive to see the next spring if he doesn't make the necessary preparations. I believe this is a good story as it becomes more mature and shows sometimes how deeply you need a companion. I believe this is also like a race for survival as winter is coming in this story, and as we have an example already from Jamestown of people freezing to death etc. I think this is an excellent story overall because it teaches of solitude, survival, and coming of age.

《山的另一面》是关于一个名叫山姆的男孩的故事,他住在纽约州的卡茨基尔山区。他学会了独立生活,学会了陪伴。这个故事的矛盾之处在于山姆必须独自在森林中生存,而冬天就要来了,如果他不做好必要的准备,他就无法活到明年春天。我相信这是一个很好的故事,因为它变得越来越成熟,有时表明你是多么需要一个伴侣。在这个故事中,我相信这也像是一场生存竞赛,因为冬天即将来临,我们已经有了詹姆斯敦的例子,人们被冻死了等等。总的来说,我认为这是一个很好的故事,因为它讲述了孤独、生存和成长。

Every kid thinks about running away at one point or another; few get farther than the end of the block. Young Sam Gribley gets to the end of the block and keeps going--all the way to the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. There he sets up house in a huge hollowed-out tree, with a falcon and a weasel for companions and his wits as his tool for survival. In a spellbinding, touching, funny account, Sam learns to live off the land, and grows up a little in the process. Blizzards, hunters, loneliness, and fear all battle to drive Sam back to city life. But his desire for freedom, independence, and adventure is stronger. My Recommendation: A wholesome coming of age story of a teen boy An adventurous story of challenge, self-reliance, and resilience. Short and simple book but still holds a compelling plot and adventure nonetheless.
