In chapter 17 Andrew and the others noticed that the land had been broken up into chunks, and the Milkey and Cookie were drifting away slowly on an ice flow. Andrew felt bad for not tying them up where he was suppose to tie them up, and decided to go an get them. Andrew had to rescue the ponies, he didn't want them to drift off or to be shot(197). This moment was the first moment were they noticed that Andrew was a selfless heroic person, and that he had more to him than being a couch potato. They knew that they couldn't afford to lose the ponies and Andrew made sure of that. Andrew knew that he could get seriously injured saving the ponies, but that didn't stop him from tackling and conquering the challenge. Andrew trying to save Milkey and Cookie is one reason why Andrew should be MVP. Some may say Andrew shouldn’t be MVP. In the beginning Andrew was what we would call a couch potato. He was really lazy and always was looking for a T.V to watch(83). Although he was lazy and more of an outcast, Andrew eventually realized this was no child's game. That it wasn’t going to be as easy as he once thought.

In conclusion I think that Andrew should be MVP because he is very caring and showed many examples in the book, Surviving Antarctica. Yes, he made a mistake going out into the snow storm. But he did that because the snow cycle is important, he does the most littles of tasks. He also saved Robert, the leader of the group, and that shows such bravery and courage compared to when he started this so called ‘game’. MVP’s don’t have to be perfect because no one is, we all have flaws but it takes lots of self love to accept yourself and your mistakes.
