We need to do some more work on understanding the literary terms and how to identify them. Completion:3/5 Effort: 3/5 Content: 2/5 total: 8/15  ﻿charecter sketch     Dave Conroy is a fur marketer. He is very l ife risking, risk taking and brave person. He is life risking because he risks his life going up on a mountain alone. He is risk taking because he choose to get to the cabin, instead of resting under a tree. Finally he is brave to continue on to find another cabin instead of resting there. Much more is needed here Holly. Isn't risk taking and life risking the same thing? 3.5/6
