However, a common definition of wilderness is an uncultivated, uninhabited, and inhospitable region. It is an area essentially undisturbed by human activity together with its naturally developed life community. Wilderness leaves no place for human beings, save perhaps as contemplative sojourners enjoying their leisurely reverie in God’s natural cathedral. Some well known wilderness areas are tropical rainforest, tropical woodlands, savannas and grasslands, wetlands, deserts, temperate forests, high latitude wilderness areas, and etc. By associating the wilderness as a place, wilderness is perhaps an experience, however, it can be argued that it is merely an idea. One way for wilderness to be an experience is through traditions and religion. The film, In the Light of Reverence, shows several Native American tribes and their relationship with nature. The Lakota tribe indicates that their relationship with the Devils Tower in Wyoming was an experience that was unmediated. The wilderness experience is highly connected to the culture, traditions, and spirituality of the Lakota Tribe. In addition, the Wintu tribe also expresses the same idea about nature and the wilderness. A member of the Wintu Tribe indicates that Mount Shasta is a sacred site, and “so is…

For example, my first time wearing foundation at the young age of fourteen, I wore starlight beige from Cover Girl thinking it would hide my freckles and pimples, yet I did not know I would be the laughing- stock in middle school with people saying I looked like an Oompa loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory…

    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…
