There are a lot of people that like to enjoy challenges. This movie called "Touching the Void" is about a very adventurous and cliffhanger story that is based on a true life story. Simon was a true friend to Joe according to this movie for three reasons.
First of all, while they were descending the mountain, Joe broke his leg, and one of the scenes showed us that Simon cut the rope. I think that it was not a wrost obtion because it was the best thing to do in Simon's positions. If he had not cut the rope, maybe Joe and Simon both would have died, and the important point are that Simon did not cut the rope inmediately. Also, we need to try to understand how hard it was for Simon to make that decision. In addition, Simon worried a lot for Joe, Joe's family and friends. When Simon stayed in the tent with Peter, he felt very bad because he must have been accusing himself by cutting the rope. Joe had really hard times to survive, but Simon had a terrible time too when he though about Joe. Last of all, when Joe called out for Simon in the last scene, he woke up and tried hard to find Joe with Peter. Simon was crying when he saw Joe survived, and he really want to help Joe. When we think about Simon's position, it must be really hard to believe that Joe survived, but maybe Simon believed that Joe survived because he heard Joe's voice.
In conclusion, this movie wants to tell us a really important messege that is "never give up", sometimes we need to make hard decisions. If we plan to climb, I recomend you watch this movie first and plan very well before you started your challenge. Do not forget to check your equipment again. Moreover, it will be a good idea to go with your friends. They can help you, and you will be able to enjoy a better time.

My Learning Styles
There are a few ways I prefer for learning. There are many students who still do not know their own learning style or their multiple intelligence. It is really important to recognize these first. It will be very helpful to you when you study.
First of all, I am a visual learner. I enjoy studying by watching or viewing because it helps me to remember more easily than listening, so I always try to draw or make some flashcards if I do not understand some kind of difficult words. Also, visual learning style helps me to refresh my mind and release stress sometimes by viewing some scenes or nature enviroments. In addition, I have Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. I am an active person, so I do not like it study at the library too much because there I need to sit and just concentrate on my work. I prefer to go outside, learn by experience, and put in action what I learn. Finally, I have a interpersonal intelligence. I usually enjoy meeting poeple and chattering with them a lot. I like to communicate with different kinds of people, listen to their experiences or share mine, have time to know each other and exchange some tips that we learned in our life.
In conclusion, I recommend you to figure out your learning styles by taking a really short test online, it will really help you as it helped me. I affirm that it will change your studying pattern and your score.
