Great Essays
Chapter five started off with the author talking about how he wrote chapter five at a campground in Oregon. The author talked about how she never get tired of coming back to the Pacific Northwest because he grew up out here and how he is resident of the Pacific Rim. Her favorite things to do when he come back to visit the Pacific Northwest is he come back to see particular things for example the tall trees, mountain ranges, and how he used camp and hike on the mountains. He can’t believe the beauty of God creation on earth that sometime it takes his breath away. She even compare her feeling to another character in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov named Alyosha who felt the same way as her. Miriam Adeney talked about Alyosha …show more content…
This disturbed him greatly because he felt that the bible was going against his family beliefs. One night Jesus appeared to Sundar. When he announced that he would follow Jesus, people in his school turned on him. He just lost his mother so his father told him to have patience because three days ago he was ripping the Bible and burning it, and now he announcing that Jesus is Lord. His father wasn’t angry at him all he said to Sundar was to sleep on it. Which means he want Sundar to think about the decision he about to make. At 16 Sundar dressed in the yellow cloth of a wandering truth-seeker and walked and told stories for the rest of his life. The life of Sundar Singh had a powerful impact on many in India.

Adeney focused on the people of Iran as an example of the Muslim world. In an article I was reading it said about 800,000 followers of Jesus inside Iran. That a lot of Muslim that are trying to follow Jesus which is good because a lot of people see Muslim as evil. Following Jesus in Iran is not easy because it come with a cost some get fired, other imprisoned, even killed. It sad to me that people get killed for their beliefs like what will you take someone life because they believe in something that you don’t believe in. I didn’t really have much to talk about in chapter six because I feel like the things that was written in chapter six we already talked about it in class before. But I did learned some good things that I didn’t know about the people that live in Iran , for they believe that Jesus is God which I thought is the same thing too, but I think we both

    Jon Krakauer Reflection

    The author, Jon Krakauer portrays this story by having many interviews with people that encountered Chris McCandless’s presence along his journey to Alaska. By interviewing these people Jon Krakauer is giving the readers real life evidence of what these people thought about Chris and his journey. The way he structured this book really interested me and gave me the feeling that I was actually reliving Chris’s journey. The passages in italics at the beginning of each chapter set the tone for the whole chapter and really had me wondering what the chapter would be about. It really confused to me as to why Jon Krakauer did not start the book off in chronological order, but instead somewhere near the end of Chris’s journey.…

    There are two types of people in the world: the ones who like a definitive ending and the ones who leave it up to their imagination. I consider myself to be the type to leave it to my imagination, therefore I found the epilogue unnecessary information that Dostoevsky could have left for the reader to complete. Part VI ended strongly, it captured Raskolnikov’s psychological regret in realistic manner. The epilogue, in a way, watered down the strength of Part VI. All of the developing relationships and conflicts ended in a ‘happy ever after’ epilogue, decreasing the depth of the whole novel.…

    In the chapter’s beginning, he shares the Alaskan locals’ opinions. Many mark Chris as one more “kook” (71) but “McCandless ended up dead, with the story of his dumbassedness splashed across the media” (71). Krakauer’s inclusion of the opinions makes the tone of the chapter serious yet scrutinizing. The tone extends insight into why Chris left and was compelled to Alaska. But at the end of the chapter Krakauer sets Chris apart from the others.…

    The author reflects, “When I began my journey, I thought about what the end would be like. As I got closer to Mt Katahdin, Maine, it was all I could dream about, think about, imagine about.” The end sight was just an old weathered wooden sign, but the journey a gamut of emotions, of completion, of success. I’m finished making the memories from the best time of my life.” “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life...”--Henry…

    The first and second chapter describe the beginning and end of McCandless’s journey of surviving in the wilderness. By beginning the novel without a background of his life, the reader is able to make assumptions of Christopher without bias from his journey and background information. This also draws the reader into the mystery of McCandless’s death and why he began the journey in the first place. The next chapters begin with anecdotes from Wayne Westerberg and Ronald Franz describing their time with McCandless, a background of McCandless’s life in Virginia, and what McCandless pursued after he left Westerberg and Franz. The use of background information before McCandless’s…

    Through two different journeys, “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “Araby” by James Joyce, we see messages expressed through the use of symbolism. Symbolism is used as “a substitute for the elements being signified” and they allow authors to provide a more meaningful message than a mere description could (332). In “Young Goodman Brown” and “Araby” we see similarities in the use of symbolism to explore questions about religious faith and the protagonists’ search for answers; but each of these stories include different representations of objects and places. For example, “Young Goodman Brown” includes color and object representations to emphasize his struggles throughout his quest while “Araby” uses the foreign world of the East…

    In the article “From Bikinis to Burkas”, Al-Solaylee uses the idea that life in the Middle East was at one point, no different from the western world and was therefore better than what it is now, making this emotionally based article propagandistic in nature. This creates a sense of moral duty to some conservatives in regards to the current war in the Middle East. Al-Solaylee creates the impression that the American invasion is simply working towards restoring their previous way of life through his portrayal of Yemen in the 1940’s. Al-Solaylee’s story about his family is used to paint a picture about the struggles and changes in Yemen and implies it to the entire Middle East with no counter arguments. Al-Solaylee states that the…

    Essay On Hidden America

    • 1219 Words
    • 5 Pages

    At the beginning of the semester, we discussed what constituted good writing, as well as what constituted bad writing. Over the course of the last three weeks, we have been assigned to read portions of Laska's Hidden America. After reading Underworld, Hecho en América, G-L-O-R-Y, and Traffic, I have concluded that Hidden America is stuck somewhere between being good and bad writing. Hidden America includes aspects of good writing as well as aspects of bad writing, constituting Laska's Hidden America as an average text in my opinion. The text offers good textual support, great detail, and a good connection to the audience, however, sometimes Laska's sources seem not as credible or biased and at times her passages can be difficult to follow.…
