Between a rock and a hard place #2

I’ve noticed that a lot of the book is about his memories. They seem to have a great significance in his life and play a really important role in the book. You know how people say that their life flashed right before there eyes moments before they get into a car accident? Well the same thing is happing here but instead he has 127 hours to think about. I’ve also noticed that he doesn’t just think about anything, he thinks about stuff that is important to him, like his family and his friends. One example is when he was thinking about how he moved to Colorado when he was younger but he was scared because he thought that there was snow year round and that you would have to even ski to school, until his parents told him otherwise. And ironically he starts to love skiing and even joins the ski club at his middle school.
In a way I can connect to Aron. Even though I’ve never but stuck under a rock I do get board a lot and tend to think about my life a lot. Mostly I think about all the dumb stuff I’ve done and i would give anything to take those stupid actions back. But sometimes I think about other stuff like good moments in my life that i will never forget like countless times I’ve gone upstate with my friend and done fun stuff...and dangerous stuff.
One time me and my friend were at this place called the ice caves. I was about 7 or 8 and there was this very narrow cliff that i decided to check out. I was just walking when i slipped and fell...lucky instead of falling to my death there was a thorn bush growing right under(about 5 feet bellow and it was growing on the rock which was convenient) the cliff that broke my fall. then my friend pulled me up.

Between a rock and a hard place

Aron must be a really strong because he’s been there for a while now and he still hasn’t given up yet! Every couple of hours he coming up with new idea to get out of his situation...yet none has worked.  Aron is trying really hard to stay sane. He’s recording himself, taking picture and all of that. But it seems to only work for a short period of time. He’s illuminating a lot and is apologizing for a lot as well. He’s in a tough situation and I don’t know if I could last as long as he is. But he seems to be going back on things, and he thinks this all happened for a reason.
I can connect Aron too Darran Shan from cirque du freak because they both have methods of overcoming almost impossible obstacles. They both have guts and they both have hearts. Like when Darren had to kill Steve and jump into the river to save himself and the world. Aron on the other hand is sharpening his knife and drinking his own pee to survive! These are both really strong characters and I wonder what’s going to happen next in the book.
