30 Chapters 17-19 Review

31 Chapters 17-19 Review 1. What problem do we discover in Kashmir because of the fighting between Pakistan and India? What needs must be met? What does Greg do to meet them? Fighting caused some 2,000 people living in Kashmir to flee to Skardu. A refugee tent camp was set up, but the people had many needs. Some of these were water, food, medicine and education (110). CAI drilled down 120 feet to create a well (107-110).

32 Chapters 17-19 Review 2. Explain how Greg practiced patience, or its opposites, during the Kashmir crisis. Greg practiced patience by not being indifferent to the refugee’s needs. He cared about their needs. He was calm, but active, and used money from CAI to pay for equipment and supplies to create a well (110).

33 Chapters 17-19 Review 3. Describe the effectiveness of Greg’s talks to raise funds for the work of CAI. Greg’s success to raise money for CAI began slow, but soon gained a lot of attention. Mountain climbers were strong supporters and his story began to appear in newspapers and magazines. At some venues people were turned away because there was not enough seats (115).

34 Chapters 17-19 Review 4. Some people who worked for CAI became frustrated with Greg. Explain why this was the case. Were they inappropriately impatient? Why or why not? Board members were frustrated with Greg because he was too independent. He was trying to carry on the work all by himself. He didn’t want to hire anyone because it would take money away from the mission. Greg wouldn’t return phone calls or emails for weeks! Greg wasn’t a businessmen and he needed professional help in this area. Board members were appropriately exasperated as Greg needed assistance and accountability (115-116).

35 Chapters 17-19 Review 5. What caused Greg to go “a bit crazy”? (118). Greg was so worried about the Afghan refugees that he couldn’t sleep. He felt like a failure because he had tried so hard to raise awareness on their behalf, but no one seemed to care. There was nothing he could do personally to help. The birth of his son lifted him out of a deep depression (118-119).

36 Chapters 17-19 Review 6. What happened on September 11, 2001? How did the local people of Baltistan respond? The twin towers in New York were attacked and destroyed by terrorists. The Baltisani people were not in favor of the bombings. They called it an “evil act” and were sorry and felt for those whose family members had been killed in the attack. They asked forgiveness and that the American people would recognize that “the majority of [Muslims] are not terrorists” (125).

40 Essential Question: How does Greg Mortenson model, or not model, practicing patience?

41 Chapters 20-22 Review

42 Chapters 20-22 Review 1. Greg Mortenson says that, “The difference between becoming a good local citizen and a terrorist could be an education.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

43 Chapters 20-22 Review 1. Greg Mortenson says that, “The difference between becoming a good local citizen and a terrorist could be an education” (130). Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

44 Chapters 20-22 Review 2. Why was going to Washington D.C. like being “dropped in a remote Afghan village for Mortenson?” He didn’t “know the customs”, he didn’t know “what to do” or how to act with government leaders (137). Mary Bono helped Greg know who to talk to and how to draw attention to the Afghan crisis. He was able to speak to many people about the problems there saying, “terror happens because children aren’t being offered a bright enough future” (138).

45 Chapters 20-22 Review 3. What evidence demonstrates that the schools Mortenson helped build improve student’s lives? Who attends them? One example was Jahan, Haji Ali’s grand daughter. She wanted to become a doctor (140). To begin fulfilling her dream, she had to finish grade school. Then she studied in Skardu. She became the first educated woman in the Braldu valley (141). Girls attend the schools (142).

46 Chapters 20-22 Review 4. What is the “war on terror”? Mortenson states that the war on terror “will ultimately be won with books, not bombs.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain. The war on terror is the fight against terrorism. This was a major focus in America after 11/09/01. Mortenson’s experience showed him that ignorance and poverty were the true enemy, the root of frustration that leads to terror, not one’s religious beliefs.

47 Chapters 20-22 Review 5. Reflect on Greg Mortenson’s journey within Pakistan. How did he practice or not practice patience? List three examples. Greg was impatient when... Greg was patient when...
