Week 12: TLW Ch.20-23

As the five continue on their journey through Tibet, they meet the same kind villagers that gave them a place to rest and food to eat. The six met a missionary and a shepherd along the journey and had supplied them with great help and hospitality. Marchinkovas died in his sleep while they were on their daily rest. The group were shocked because he was not ill or showed any kind of discomfort. The five were on a trek to India and had to cross the Himalayan Foot-Hills. The Five claimed to had seen the yeti, an abominable snowman, during their journey through the Himalayan. In chapter 22, while the Five were on their way on the snowy trail, Paluchowicz fell from the white cliffs and vanished into the mist. They were in disbelief because he made a vast journey of 4000 miles and died recklessly. At the end, soldiers near the India border rescued Mister Smith, Rawicz, Kolemenos, and Zaro. When they were in recovery, they all suffered mentally. Even though Rawicz had food, he would always store his bread in his clothe or under the pillow. They were in delusion. It has been 18 months of traveling and old habits die hard. But at the end, they recovered and what had been a month, felt like a night's rest for them. In conclusion, they went their seperate path and Rawicz joined the Polish Army and started a new life with a new family. What I didn't understand was why Rawicz did not try to find them after their separation.
