I agree with Cari’s post. Katz has gone through a lot, and it would only make sense that he would want a “true friend”. Katz willing goes on the trip even though he knows that he is not in the best shape at all. Also I think that Bryson might also want this friendship. He stops and waits for Katz time after time. He even would walk back to make sure that Katz is ok. It is obvious that they both enjoy each other’s company.

I also agree with David’s post. I think that it is interesting that David made the observation that Katz, overall, is a negative person. This is true. He is anger filled and extremely unbalanced. Any other person under these circumstances would not be able to push through. It is obvious that, technically, even Katz shouldn’t be able to make it. But like David says, the main reason that Katz will be able to hike the trail is because of Bryson.
