Summary: In the beginning of the book, Henry's father says "if you build your house far enough away from Trouble, then Trouble will never find you." In the end of the book Henry says "in order to live well, one must learn to live where trouble is. Henry then climbs atop of Mount Katahdin and the book is over. I enjoyed this book, since the beginning of where Henry's brother dies to the adventure of climbing Mount Katahdin. And in the end Henry learns that you have to learn to live where trouble is.
Theme/Conflict: Well the theme is "Learn to live where trouble is." Even Henry says this. To me I think this means to learn to live with difficulties and everything will eventually be better. In the book, Franklin always said they'll climb the mountain, when Franklin passes away, Henry does climb the mountain. And I think the conflict was man vs nature and maybe man vs man. I say man vs nature because on the mouton they had to cross a river, walk up hill, and had many more challenges. I say man vs man because Henry is thinking about Franklin and climbing this mountain. And even Chay, the person that accidentally killed Franklin. Overall this was a good book.
