Zopa wants to bring news, money, and supplies to the suppressed people of Tibet.

Zopa wants to become a sirdar or Head Sherpa again because he is bored of his life as a monk.

Zopa wants to try and take Josh’s place as father to Peak.

Part B: Which quote best supports your reason in Part A?

“We took our time, stopping at Buddhist temples along the way where Zopa picked up boxes of food and supplies although we already had plenty.”

“Zopa got me to the summit of Annapurna the night you were born. Since then, he’s been asking me about you every time I’ve seen him. Bugging me really…saying it’s no good for a father to neglect his son.”

“The Peak Experience logo had been sewn onto both the parka and his stocking cap. I thought Zopa had traded all that stuff away.”

Part B: What evidence best supports your reasoning in Part A?

”For the time being, let’s just pretend I’m your big brother. Just call me Josh like all my friends do.”

“I had written him a dozen letters over the years, but I had never gotten a letter (or even a postcard) in return.”

“If you make it you’ll be famous and you’ll help your old man live in comfort for the rest of his life.”
