| 7.Q |
Describe
the event in one sentence (there’s time to expand later) |

List the
sequence of events leading up to your thrill. Try to remember
how you felt at each stage. The smallest detail could be important
(this is your chance to expand). |
|
| 9.A |
Got on
my first bike, rode it where I wasn't supposed to, rode
past there to where I knew snakes and stuff were. My friend
had
suggested it but he didn't come, and on the way back after my
heart
was pumping I rode over a snake heard his rattle saw it, came
back so
hysterical that parents and neighbors looked for bite marks. |
|
| |
| 10.Q |
What were
your thoughts and feelings at the precise moment of thrill? |
|
|
| |
| 11.Q |
What did
you do afterwards? |
|
| 11.A |
I was already
going very fast so I tucked my feet up on the
handle bars and rode the momentum out for a bit then I pedaled
as hard
as possible. |
|
| |
| 12.Q |
What were
the risks? |
|
| 12.A |
Death is
common from rattle snake bites if you don't get to the
hospital for the serum fast enough, and the hospital was three
hours
away. But when I think about it now likely someplace in town
would
have had the serum or the plant doctor would have. |
|
| |
| 13.Q |
What did
you imagine other people thought of you during and after the
event? |
|
| 13.A |
I would
like to think my friend who knew I was going thought I
was the man, and after my mom and neighbours were worried and
then I
got in trouble for going where I wasn't supposed to. |
|
| |

do you think about the event, and why? |

haven't for almost a year but this study brought it up. |
