In both Nancy Mairs’s “On Being a Cripple” and David Sedaris’s “A Plague of Tics,” the authors had written essays that related to their disabilities and ways they coped with it.

    One of the major themes in Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild is the father-son relationship between father Walt McCandless and his son, Chris. This theme specifically plays a significant role in Chris’s life because it shows how Chris was brought up and what made him want to partake in a journey across the country to Alaska without bothering to contact his family. Right from the start, Chris was a brilliant, independent, and competitive child. Chris inherited some of these strong features from his father, and would end up using it against him. Krakauer mentions, “[Walt] Taking control is something he does unconsciously, reflexively…his voice has an edge, and the set of his jaw betrays an undercurrent of nervous energy.…
