A True Friend

Outlines
1. Simon did everything he can
2. Simon felt guilty
3. Simon went out and saved Joe

2 Vocabulary
- Perilous
- Peak

  Touchint the void is a movie which is edited from a real story. This movie is really a cliffhaner, because i tells the story how Simon and Joe climbed to the peak of the mountain and what perilous situations they confronted. Although Simon left Joe and went back alone, that was not his fault. Simon was a true friend to Joe.
  Firstly, Simon  tried everything he could when Joe broke his right leg. Simon did not leave him done, and he discussed with Joe how to solve this horrible situation. Then, he used rope to help Joe descend after several hours. Unfortunlity, Joe fell to the cliff under that process, but Simon did not know what happened to Joe. Therefore,Simon had choice but to cut the rope or they both would die. Simon felt very guilty for what he did. Actually, Simon did not do anything wrong because that was Joe's mistake and Simon did his best to save him. However Simon thought that was his mistakes, and he did not know how to explain to Joe's parents and their friends. If Simon was not a true friend to Joe, Simon would not have felt guilty or even told the truth to Peter. Last, Simon went out of the camp and found what happened when he hear the voice of Joe. At the same time, Peter did not want to go out and he pretent to hear nothing because he felt scarual, and he did not believe that was a human being. They thought Joe was dead. On the other hand, Simon tried his best to search to the voice and felt very happy when he found Joe.
  To sum up, according to the details and evidences we found. He could have done many things to change the truth and the result which would have been good for him if he wanted, but Simon did not do those.
