The book Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer tells the story of his Everest expedition in 1996. Though ideally everyone would survive this expedition unharmed‚ this was unfortunately not the case; all the dangers of Everest can lead to hypoxia‚ frostbite‚ falling into a crevasse‚ or High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE). Krakauer describes how Ngawang Topche‚ a Sherpa who assisted Scott Fischer’s Everest expedition‚ developed HAPE while climbing the mountain and the effect it had on him. High Altitude Pulmonary

Throughout the novel Into Thin Air there are many important aspects that are touched on every day. In the book one of the most important parts I took away from it was the trust between the climbing teammates‚ or lack of trust. You need to be able to trust the person you are climbing otherwise they can take you down. The whole climb though was putting a lot of trust onto the guides‚ which I think is the most controversial part. They put their lives into other people’s hands and some of them paid for

Jon Krakauer‚ the author of the novel Into Thin Air‚ starts the novel out of chronological order. The first three chapters take place in the future. Krakauer uses a different approach on the start of his novel than most authors. The novel begins when Krakauer reaches the top of the mountain‚ which is a bit anticlimactic. For a task as rewarding and treacherous as climbing Mount Everest‚ beginning the story at the climax confuses the reader. However‚ this allows the reader to realize that the climax

It was concluded that the product created was paracetamol when a thin layer chromatography test was performed and observed under ultraviolet light (which is discussed further down the page). An unknown substance was treated with acetic anhydrate and resulted with paracetamol.
