Quote:
“Only nine-year-old John was daring enough to brave the dark. Digging his fingers and toes into cracks, he lowered himself down the rock wall. Finally, he reached the bottom and stood for a moment to rest his shaking muscles. The light seemed far away when he looked up to where the others waited. It took all his strength to reach the top” (Warrick 12).
Prompt:
This quote describes how John climbed to the bottom of an old room beneath Dunbar Castle. How would you feel at the bottom. Would you have climbed down if your friends had dared you to? Why or why not? Try to write at least 100 words.
