__Death By Decision__
Sept,26 2010 One may become desperate, fearful, or hopeless as one travel far and deep into a cold, isolated mountain, but it was not those feelings that drove Dave Conroy to his eternal sleep, instead, having too much self-confidence, getting inspired by other famous trappers and with the exception of getting a little impatient, led him to his cold grave(run-on). As he carried on with his journey through the mountains he began to get more and more impatient with how isolated and cold he was getting. It got him to a point where he was willing to rush to the cabin instead of drying his hands and feet after falling into the air hole and “set the forest in a blaze…”. When he thought about his hands been frozen, he remembered “Duncan Macdonald, who trapped… and who had walked thirty miles to the railroad on frozen feet to have them amputated by the doctor.” and pulled himself together by convincing himself that he would survive this like the other trappers, and that his hands and feet were numb, not frozen. Dave Conroy also had a little too much self-confidence, so much that he trusted that the cabin was there and never doubt that it might have burnt down like reality, so he risked freezing his hands and feet to discover reality, and even after reality struck, he still believed in himself that “He had never finished a day in the mountains yet without another ten miles up his sleeve.” Since he was so confident and inspired to believe he would make it and since his impatient got the best of him, he made some very poor decisions. So in the end, he dug his own grave,(too informal) "Any man who froze his hands or feet had only himself to blame.”

4.5/6

6/6 We think this because, there are good reasons, examples, quotes and the ending was very intense and powerful.
