  1. Serena- #3-Axel wasn't scared to go after Grits because Grits is his dog and best friend and he really cares about Grits. #5-If Axel had waited to get Grits until after the storm passed Grits would have jumped off of Monkey Ledge and gotten wet and hurt.

    #3 Axel isn't afraid go after Grits beacause he was so desperate to get him that he forgot about worrying,and concentrated on getting Grits.

    #5 If Axel had started climbing after the storm, his dog, Grits may have jumped off the cliff before Axel could get there.

    6. One connection I had was I climbed a rockwall just like Axel climbed a mountain. It was not like my adveture because a rockwall is safer and it was not thunderstorming

    3.Axel was not scared because he had alot of comfadins in himself. If I were him I would do the same thing for Kenly my dog.

    4.In the story I think Axel and his father felt worried that they might not make it in time to get Grits, upset that Grits had followed the mountain climbers up the mountain, and determined to get Grits.
    5. If Axel had started climbing after the storm had passed Grits, Grits might have been struck by lightning or fallen off the mountain.

    What makes Cliff Hanger an a adventure is when Axel starts to climb the mounton . Why the author compares Axel to a ballet dancer is because Axel was jumping crack to crack
