INDIVIDUALISM, PERSEVERANCE AND HEROISM IN THREE CUPS OF TEA

Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

This article examines the work of Greg Mortenson titled Three cups of Tea in terms of American values, maybe the first three of them such as; individualism, perseverance and heroism. Having a missionary background the book, which is a non-fiction work that tells about Mortenson‟s life, came out as a result of climbing K2. The writer of the book is David Oliver Relin, but the person who has lived all the events has been Mortenson himself, therefore Relin has told everything again as if Mortenson was writing the book. This study aims to investigate how a mountaineer turns into a hero and show that American values form the basis for Mortenson‟s attempt to build schools to promote peace for the area.
