TCOT essay test # 4

The plot of "Three Cups of Tea" is similar to a mountain climb; I even thought that when I was reading it. In the beginning of the book it talks about Mortenson trying to summit K2, the second tallest mountain in the world. He has many problems occur during his long voyage. From natural disasters, to getting lost, and separated from the group leaving Mortonson without supplies for days.
To begin with, when Mortenson came across the small village of Korphe, and learned about how they had no schools, supplies, or even teachers to help educate the children he was appalled. He could not believe his own eyes; so he made a promise to the village's chief that he would come back and build them a school. It took Mortenson years to raise the money and get back to Pakistan to start building the school. That and buying the supplies, and getting them to where he wanted the school was a great struggle. Mortonson ran into several problems with people, money issues,or not enough of this, or that. When all said and done Mortonson accomplished his goal, and he ended up descending the mountain of obstacles as things ran more smoothly, and several more schools were built to help educate children.
The actual mountain climb, and the twists and turns of building the first school relates to the plot of the story because it too was like a mountain climb. When somebody first suggested to Mortenson that he should make a book he was thinking that was impossible, and he did not even know how to start. When he finally got with someone to write the book it took so long to put it together, and it was real stressful. All of the events in the book were hard to place in an understandable order because so much went on; a lot was said and done. From Mortenson traveling village to village, and back and forth between countries; along with a bunch of cities that were mentioned though out. It was hard as a reader to keep up with, and to understand the book, therefore I would defiantly consider "Three Cups of Tea" a book full of ups and downs literally and mentally because it was so hard to comprehend.
