At sixteen, Rudi is determined to pay tribute to the man he never knew, and complete the quest that claimed his father's life. And so, taking his father's red shirt as a flag, he heads off to face the earth's most challenging peak. But before Rudi can reach the top, he must pass through the forbidden Fortress, the gaping chasm in the high reaches of the Citadel where his father met his end. Rudi has followed Josef's footsteps as far as they will take him. Now he must search deep within himself to find the strength for the final ascent to the summit—to plant his banner in the sky.I was surprised that it was aimed at elementary school kids. The subject matter and language seemed more advanced than that. There was certainly an intensity to the writing, and I felt I was there climbing along with them. Filming began June 23, 1958. The film was made on location in Switzerland with Gaston Rébuffat as the head of the mountain second unit photography. [12] it was mostly shot in Zermatt, a location that Walt Disney was familiar with from his ski trips. The studio portions of the film were done in London. [13] Zermatt was the model for the fictional town of Kurtal. Mountaineering scenes were shot in Rotenboden.

Given the story’s focus, it is no surprise the amount of detail given to the mountain itself. The book spends paragraphs devoted to describing all the mountains edges and cliffs, and the difficulty in climbing them. The climbing itself is so vividly described that it is no surprise that the author himself is an avid mountaineer. This can at times, seemingly lag the story behind as the descriptions never seem to end. James Ramsey Ullman (1907–1971) was an American writer and mountaineer. He was born in New York. He was not a high end climber, but his writing made him an honorary member of that circle. Some of his writing is noted for being "nationalistic," e.g., The White Tower. Pharapreising and interpretation due to major educational standards released by a particular educational institution as well as tailored to your educational institution – if different; Attitudes/Disobedience - 16 Incidents: A boy is described as playing "truant from school - even from church," running out on the job, and not caring that it causes his mother "tears." A boy asks someone not to tell anyone that he came to visit, noting that his parents would be mad. Lying: a man lies to cover for a boy not being at work. A boy is called on a lie, and continues to lie. A man lies to a mother about what her son is really doing (so she won't worry). Lying: a boy says he's not tired but he really is. A boy's lie "caught up with him." "Not a result of conscious choice or decision, it was simply what he had to do," describing the boys defiance to his mother and disobedience. When a man finds out that a boy lied, he smiles for a minute, but then gets serious about the effects of the lie. An uncle discusses how his nephew disobeyed, defied, thieved, connived, lied. A man then tell him that he and his mother drove the boy to it. A man discusses how he was lied to by the boy, but that the boy "meant no harm" and only did "what he had to do". "Right and wrong did not matter. Nothing in all the world mattered, except that he must go." "You lied to me."Sky banners are the most popular form of aerial advertising.
