touching the void homework

I lolled on the rope, scarcely able to hold my head up.  He was an experienced climber but because of the cold he was having trouble holding on to the rope and holding his head up.  He was tired and was hoping that the situation would end soon. He didn’t want to suffer.  He just wanted it to be over.This created tention by showing that was wansnt able he was scarcely able.

 

How long will you be Simon?  I thought.  How long   you join me?  He was doubting his ability to save his friend.  He was worried that they would both to their deaths and he couldn’t do anything to prevent it.  Nobody would know what had happened to them.This creates tention because he is asking questions so maybe he was worried about that his friend had gone or somehting had happen to his friend.

 

The torch beam died because the cold had killed the batteries.  The storm was over.  He was pleased that the danger had perhaps gone.  Maybe he would be able to save them after all.  Things looked bright and he felt like he was floating on air.  He was at peace.This created tention becuiase he doesnt know what is there or what is going the happen to him and his freind.

 

Then, what |I had waited for pounced on me.  Suddenly things changed as the rope lashed violently against my face and I fell silently as if in a dream.  Did he fall or was he just dreaming because of the cold.This created tention because we dont know what he was waiting for so it could be anything.
