What Would You Risk?

Using the chart that you completed for today, decide if what the character gains is worth the risk he/she took. Explain, using specific examples from the text.

It is Couper Myers pd 1. I don't think that Hardy should take too many risks because some of the outcomes might not turn out the way that he planned. He could end up running into indian territory or even in one of their traps. These are just a few ways thinks might not turn out as planned. But then again he could have a positive outcome like taking a shortcut and meeting up with his father earlier. Overall I think it would be best if Hardy stuck to the path without taking any risks.

This is Evan McGregror from pd 3 and i agree with you. he shouldn't take too many risks because all of them wont turn out to be as good as they are now. He could also have a positive outcome though. But you will never know. I think that a lot of his risks are worth it because he wants to find his father. The thing is, he has to try to escape Indians the whole time. Or try not to encounter them.

Dylan Claybaugh pd.5, Hardy should aviod taking risks because his odds are already for surviving. Even though his odds are low for survival, that does not mean he should give up and die with Betty Sue. In other words he made the right decision in moving on to his father after the indians attacked.

Hey, Dingess here from period 7. As you guys said, Hardy should not take many risks for the fact that he may be caught by the Indians. But some of the risks Hardy must take or he will not survive out on the Great Plains. He doesn't have that much food so he must get to Fort Bridger quickly and if not, he and Betty Sue just might die.

Dylan Claybaugh pd.5, Ashawakie risked one of his warriors in killing Cal. It was not a good thing to risk because he lost the life of the warrior. Cal trying to

Michael Dingess here from period 5, and I'm thinking all Hardy risked was worth it in the end along with what Scott Collins risked to find his son. Sadly though, Cal and Jud died after what they risked which was not worth it. The same happened to the one Indian that rushed at Cal in the cave but was shot. I guess the antagonists aren't suppose to get what they risked for.
