Introduction to Touching the Void

My third piece of writing I have chose was based on a novel we read in class called Touching the Void by Joe Simpson. We were given a topic from the book and had to write a compare contrast essay on the topic. The title of my essay was Physical versus Psychological and was written May 2007. I chose this piece because I felt it demonstrated my ability to write analytically. An example of that would be "I think that with physical hardship it's temporary pain, but relief is hopeful, but as for psychological I think that anyone who was faced with a decision like Simon would take years to cope with the psychological pain."
