Exam Answer Key

Long Answer

1. Mark is introduced embarking on a week-long hiking trip across the Magruder Missile Range. Furthermore, he locates sustenance and shelter in his first days on Transall; he survives animal attacks and quicksand. (Various chapters)

2. Mark saves Leeta from the wolf-like Howling Thing despite the inherent danger, forming a lasting friendship in the process. (Chapter 11) However, he is disgusted with the arrow people’s attack on a neighboring village for meager supplies, and decides that he would prefer to live alone. This decision establishes Mark as a principled person who adheres to his own morals, rather than simply following others out of self-preservation.
