1. Chapter 9 – Hunting Ibex Taylor Cunha 8-14
Quick Write:
If I was in Jean Hoerni’s position, my decision would be to give Greg the second donation
first for the school now for the bridge. I would help out Greg by giving him the extra donation
because he is using the money for a good cause and the children need a school to go to so
that they can learn, without a school to learn at children will not be able to get employed
when they are older. Even though Jean has already gave Greg a generous donation to build
the school Greg never thought about how he would get the supplies to Korphe because the
only way they have to cross the river is an unsafe very small wooden crate, and that would
take a very long time to transport everything, it would also be unsafe. It is also a good idea
to build a bridge in Korphe because more people can pass through the village safer and
faster than the crate. A bridge will also last for a very long time and make it more convenient
for people to pass through or transport the village supplies like food, supplies and livestock.
After Reading:
I choose to design this bridge because it is a very simple, low costing bridge to
make. It is a simple bridge because they do not have many supplies or the money to
purchase more, they also do not have complex machinery or tools that would be able to
construct the bridge or transport the supplies. So they needed a simple bridge that is easy
to make that doesn’t involve a lot of parts because they have a limited amount of money to
purchase supplies.
