Chapter 2 was about when Gabe goes to boarding school. He also met his roommate Raymond in that chapter. After that his father got an off day and took Gabe shopping for clothes better fit for whether in Canada and he also offered to go bush flying with him sometime in chapter 3. In chapter 4 his roommate, Raymond gets homesick and Gabe and him go to a hockey rink to cheer him up. He also gets a phone call from Clint (the bush pilot) telling him to come to the float flying dock if Gabe wanted to do some sight seeing. So when he goes in chapter 4 to the dock he is told that they have to take an older man and a kid back to their home and he finds out in chapter 5 that the kid they're supposed to take is Raymond who had dropped out of school without telling Gabe. Later on in chapter 5 they start their flight and have to touch down at Simpson Fort because the daylight was almost gone. Clint and Gabe planned a special rout for their sight seeing day together.
These chapters were mostly clear but some scenes confused me. One scene I didn't grasp was in chapter 3. It was the part about where Gabe and his father were talking after picking up some clothes. Gabe asked his father if he ever flew with Clint and Gabe didnt know him but his father said he didnt know him. I was a little confused because at the beginning in chapter Clint said "Gabe Rogers?" and Gabe said back "Clint?You're the bush pilot?" So do they know each other or not. It just seemed like they did but I guess not, I wasn't sure.
Another thing I didnt understand was in chapter 2. The part where it said "Raymond Providence was thinking about it, thinking about me. My roommate was wondering if I'd made a mistake." What mistake? Something I think the author could have done different to make it more clear is specify who is talking more often. Another thing that might help would be to explain a little more into some parts that might require it.
