Finish Praying Mantis Moment and ITA questions
Comparisons to think about:
-Krakauer has to overcome the adversity of climbing Mt. Everest, but what does Doyle have to overcome at the soccer game?
-How do both stories evolve from being about a "thing" or "moment" to being about people?
-What does it mean to be "genuine" in the case of either story?

Wrap discussion on GC Section #1
Praying Mantis Moment:
-What does the author witness and why does he describe it as the most "genuine" moment he has ever seen?
-Although he limits his observations to the sports world, what might Doyle be implying about the difference between children and adults?
-What is ironic about the lesson that the little kid explains to Doyle in contrast to what all the adults expected when they saw the circle of kids standing on the field?
