Bula Vinaka blogging world,
Sir Edmund Hillary is an important part of history because he has climbed the highest mountain on Earth (Mt Everest, Located in Nepal, where I'm from), but he was the first person to also go back down alive in 1953. Other people have tried, but sadly lost their lived due to the extreme heights. If you go too high, you might not even be able to breathe. Sir Edmund Hillary was not alone though. He went with Tenzing Norgay, someone from Nepal who has climbed Mt Everest almost to the top before. Sir Edmund Hillary is from NZ, so that brings a bond between Nepal and New Zealand. Sadly, his days are over and he is no longer alive. If I had the chance to ask him 5 questions, they would be:
1. How old were you when you figured you liked doing climbing and extreme adventuring? I want to find out more about your extreme desire to climb this mountain in the first place.
2. How long did it take you to reach the top of the monstrous mountain? It's just interesting to find out more about the journey.
3. What things did you have to pack in your bags to finish climbing the mountain? If I ever want to go to attempt the mountain, I know what to pack.
4. Why did you ever even want to climb the mountain in the first place?
5. How did you feel while you were at the top of Mt Everest?
Do you want to climb Mt Everest? I sure do.
Write it down below
Blog ya later!
Talofa Gargee,
ReplyDeleteI like that you have shown a lot of curiosity toward Sir Edmund Hillary and his achievements. The commentary you've included next to your questions gives us a little insight to your curiosity. What do you think you'd have to take with you if you were to climb Mt Everest? Would you take the same things Sir Edmund Hillary took? Why/why not?
Some of these questions (you've asked) could be answered easily with some research of your own. It is always good to think of some questions that only the person you are interviewing could answer/would know, that is something you could do in future.
A few questions I would probably ask are; ‘Did you hallucinate at all breathing in the thin air?’ and 'Did you see anyone who had frozen to death on the climb? How did it make you feel?’. I bet the mental struggle was almost as tough as the physical climb, I can’t imagine trying to climb in that environment.
Keep up the good work.
Toe feiloa’i fo’i,
Cia.
