READ CAREFULLY these 2 books:
-Candice Millard, River of Doubt -Hampton Sides, In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Journey of the USS Jeanette
Write a word critique/comparison/reaction of the books. You can compare whatever strikes you, but three possibilities are: --were these examples of heroism? --were they "foolhardy" in whole or in part? --did either expedition result in anything of lasting value?
