    Robert Hayden touches on the subject of slavery with a morbid and religious experience, he talks grimily about the boats and how the slaves were kept during transport and how God had no mercy on them as they traveled. Most of the poems I have read about slavery and about overcoming a persevering through the hard times, they have talked about being mistreated, death, starvation and cruelty. Hayden goes into more detail than I can imagine and does not hold back, he makes sure when you read his poem that you feel what has been felt by every man, woman and child going through those devastating times. "Deep in the festering hold thy father lies, the corpse of mercy rots with him, rats eat love's rotten gelid eyes." (Hayden, 2375).…

    Chris Mccandless was not searching for amusement or disrespectful of the land but a well educated seeker of a place where his morals and beliefs would not be challenged by anybody or anything claiming to have authority over him. The bush casualty stereotype does not apply to Mccandless as he was not in the slightest affiliated with the ideals and values of those whose arrogance overpowered their common sense which separates Chris Mccandless from the bush casualty stereotype as he took the time to learn how to live off the land by gaining experience in wild berry picking and preserving food valuable skills for living in the…

    In Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, Christopher McCandless throws away his past life in search of happiness, which he hopes to achieve through pure and raw struggles without the presence of society, ideally in the brutal wilderness of Alaska. Due to his controversial and fatal actions, many people see him as a clueless idiot as shown in the statement from the question, while others perceive him to be an admirable/noble individual or hero. At first, I personally believed that his actions were outright idiotic, but learning more about McCandless has allowed me to see why others admire him and his actions.

    Foolish or Honorable? Chris McCandless’s journey outlined by the novel Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer supports that it is simple and indisputable to apprehend that McCandless was not a heroic figure, just one persuaded by inaccurate decisions. McCandless was not your average student, he had a very bright future ahead of him graduating with high honors from one of the country's most prestigious universities; Emory University, however, threw it all down the drain when he took an everlasting adventure hiking into the Alaskan bush unprepared and alone. Many perceive him to be a hero, leaving the social norms one is expected to carry out throughout life, but, many also view him as a fool who wasted all this god given talent, just to die a cold hearted death. What could persuade a human…

    One of my favourite books and movies is Jon Krakauer’s Into The Wild (1996) that was adapted to the screen by Sean Penn in 2007. The film follows the true story of Christopher McCandless’ expedition across North America and his time spent in the Alaskan wilderness where he died alone. During the film viewers are taken along a journey where they see the main character search for his true place in the natural world independent from the trappings of a normal suburban life. The movie is beautifully filmed and seductively draws us into the attraction of the American wilderness and the noble ambition to being self-reliant.…
