    Callarman’s argument is the most accurate view of Into The Wild and Chris McCandless’s decision. Chris made an ignorant decision based on his current feelings and how his parents treated him. You can’t succeed in the future with your actions at this point and time, but you sure can throw out your future with your current actions. And that is exactly what Chris did, he went from graduating from Emory University, to moving into the Alaskan wilderness and dying. He had the foundation of his life set, ready to take on the next step of his life, but he believed that the wild would hold something valuable for him to find.…

While some recognize him as a romantic hero following a life immersed in the nature of the world, some choose to see him as a fool for thinking he could live this lifestyle. When looking at both arguments, it comes down to the issue of morals, and the lifestyle the person analyzing has grown up in.

    Stating, “As an institution, marriage has lost much of its legal, social, economic, and religious meaning and authority.” The authors believe that marriage no longer has the same prestige that it once had and instead the meaning of marriage itself has been redefined. Popenoe and Whitehead present the article in a very logical way, explaining how ideas about marriage have evolved and using statistics to support their claims. Proposing that “ It is a sign of the times that the overwhelming majority (94%) of never married singles in our survey agreed that ‘when you marry, you want your spouse to be your soul mate, first and foremost.’” They go on to explain that this is a new…

    Freedom from invisible bounds, that is what they were searching for. In the 1830’s and 60’s, a new way of life started: Transcendentalism. They were against the Puritan ideals of wealth and wanted a closer and more emotional relationship with God. They strived to break away from the norms and to break away from the traditions and the lifestyle society had expected them to live by, and to seek their own way of living. In Jon Krakauer’s novel, Into the Wild, Chris McCandless displays the transcendentalist principal of nonconformity by not going along with what society wants, and by eventually living life away from society.…

    Therefore, I think the argument presented by the author is unsuccessful and has really drawn the readers into false dilemmas, i.e. consider the author's assertion that, "…that there are merely two alternatives to consider when there are essentially more than two"2, in this case, several other reasons (Esteve, Albert & Ron 280). Several couples are having similar sex relationships and are not permitted to get married in most states in the United States of America3. Consequently, some partners cannot afford the financial obligations that come with marriage while others have personal reasons concerning having been opted just to remain cohabiting and not getting married (Vaughn 484). However, the authors state merely three reasons why couples choose to engage in trial marriage through cohabitation thus opting to delay in getting married, i.e., due to abundant lust in the society, observing several marriages getting broken make it seem precarious to some people and finally, due to lost confidence in precisely judging durable marriages. Notably, I consider that the author has left out several reasons or possibilities that usually make couples to cohabitate without getting…

    I agree with Balswick & Balswick statement, “The high rate of divorce in most Western cultures supports the notion that it is difficult to establish a strong marriage in a postmodern society.” (Balswick & Balswick, 2014, p. 79) In today’s society the stability of marriage is not grounded without a biblical aspect of keeping Christ at center. Marriages should be man and women becoming one, in the aspect of unity being established by vows of promises and not build on rules and conditions. With rules and conditions it creates a positon for self-worth and greediness to enter the unity of a marriage.…

    Chris McCandless’ actions can be seen as rebellious at first, but as time goes on, it is clear that there is hostility between his parents and himself that he does not want to face or try to fix. In a dysfunctional family, there are two extremes when it comes to the outcome of the children: the rebel or the conformist. Although the older child is typically the conformist and the younger child is the rebel, the McCandless family is a little different because both children are the rebels. Krakauer says, “Also like Chris, she clashed fiercely with Walt and Billie as an adolescent… [but] Carine made peace with her parents shortly after Chris disappeared” (129).…
