Death by Adaptation: At the end of the movie version of My Side of the Mountain, Frightful the hawk gets shot and dies. In the book, she not only lives, but ends up with three sequels focusing on her.

At the end of the book, Sam’s family comes up the mountain to visit him. He is as happy to see them as they are to see him. And instead of dragging him away from this place that he loves, to go back to city life that he hated and left, his family surprises him by moving up onto the mountain with him.

The main conflict in “My Side of the Mountain” is represented by the overriding theme of man versus nature. Sam Gribley is a city kid who runs away from his New York City home to the wilderness of the Catskill Mountains.

Sam Gribley is the protagonist because he is the main character in the story, he shows conflict with the antagonist. Nature is the antagonist.

The climax of the novel comes when Sam is faced with a decision at the end of the novel. He must choose either to heed his father’s call and join his family or run off and continue to live in isolation in the wild.

My Side of the Mountain is a fascinating fictional chronicle of a year in the wilderness. Interwoven in this story are the themes of solitude, survival, coming of age, and balance. Sam Gribley fulfills his dream of living on his own in the woods.

Why has Sam run away to the mountains? His city home is crowded; he wants to find the Gribley farm; he wants to be independent and live alone.

And Sam, his father, and Bando eat a special side dish at Christmas: “A mound of sort of fluffy mashed cattail tubers, mushrooms, and dogtooth violet bulbs, smothered in gravy thickened with acorn powder.” Evidently this mix is quite tasty.

By challenging himself, Sam would know his own limit. Sam’s food including fish that he can find in the stream, animals like rabbit that caught together with Frightful, or plants that he can found in Catskill Mountain. Living in the wilderness makes Sam learns many things in nature about animal and people.

When we ended Chapter 10, Sam had just had a stroke of luck by coming across a deer shot by a hunter. By moving and covering the deer, he ensures the poacher cannot find his prey and keeps the deer for himself.

Sam thinks that the old man is an outlaw. Sam calls him Bando because he thinks he is running from the law. Bando is a college english teacher lost in the Catskills. Bando makes a raft, clay containers, berry jam, willow whistles, and fire bellows.

Bando means an abandoned trap house. A bando is used to refer to a trap house or crack house in the hood where narcotics is being produced or sold.

The chapter starts with Sam smoking fish after a particularly large catch. As he smokes the fish, a weasel that he expects is The Baron comes by to stand on a large rock, looking at him.

Once up in the mountains, Sam builds himself a home in an old tree. He decides he wants to obtain a deer so that, among other things, he can have its hide to cover his door hole. It was in this way that Sam got his first deer.

Sam finds a hemlock tree that he thinks would make a good home, but he needs to hollow it out. He doesn’t really have much in the way of tools, so he uses fire. He realized that he could do the same thing to make the hemlock tree hollow and allow him to live in it. So he started a fire burning inside the trunk.

How does Sam use hickory sticks? Sam boils hickory sticks to get salt to season his food.

Training Frightful He feeds her scraps from his catches and helps motivate her to fly short distances. The training continues as Sam uses a piece of meat covered in a bit of hide to help Frightful equate a small furry animal with food.

Before long, Frightful thought of him as her mother. He nurtured her like a peregrine falcon.. When she was older, Sam made a perch for her and placed it outside his tree. At night and on winter days, Sam brought her inside the huge old tree.

But Sam does talk about various things that he does to train the bird. For example, the first thing he does (so maybe you could call it the first step) is simply to talk to Frightful and touch her a lot. He says that this makes a falcon easier to train.

Baron Weasel is a weasel that Sam befriends after accidentally trapping him. He is a bit rambunctious and is always around to make life interesting for Sam.
