In the novel and as well as real life, Tim is a very outspoken and blunt person when it comes to voicing his opinions and beliefs. Coming into war as a draftee, Tim did not believe that this war was justified and didn't support the war. Tim wasn't the most excited to be in war but I'm pretty sure he was part of a big majority that wasn't excited to be at war and the fact that Tim didn't like dirt, tents, or outdoor types of things in general didn't help. O’Brien felt obligated to go to war as he felt that the world was watching and didn't want to let them down by not going.…

    From my point of view I disagree with Callarman’s opinion on Chris McCandless about how he was fool and an arrogant fool. The reason for my disagreement is because I believed Chris had reason for his “journey of solitude.” I have also gathered concrete details that defends my statement for his behavior. It is our judgement and ideals created by society that caused people like McCandless to drift away. He should not be portrayed as a madman without a proper reason or fact.…

This trend indicates that, in general, focused companies generate more value than diversified ones and thus challenges Danaher ’s parenting advantage.…
