Based on the first 40 minutes of the film and Chapters 1–11 of the book, does the visual version of Chris’s journey make his choices seem more justified or more reckless than the text does? Explain how the medium (film vs writing) shapes your perspective.

 The film adaptation of the novel Into The Wild helps make Chris's choices more justified. The film makes Chris's journey seem easy and fun. It romanticizes his life and his escape. The film tries to make the audience feel like his journey was smart, easy, and fun.  The book on the other hand, makes the audience feel differently. The book wants the audience to see Chris's choice as reckless. The author wants the reader to understand the seriousness behind his choices; to see how he was stubborn and ignorant to the possible consequences. 

Today in class we watched the film Into The Wild

I gained a new perspective about Chris's journey

I would love to visit Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Rome, and Greece. If I do this, then I would be able to visit them all.  Today in class, we finished presenting our origin myth posters. We then, started working on analyzing Emily Dickerson's poems.  I learned about what a great poet Emily was.

Write about something you have always been curious about

 One thing I have always been curious about is why we humans have never fully explored the ocean. Everyone is willing and eager to go and explore space but what about our own planet. Everyone wants us to keep pushing to put the first man on Mars but I believe that we should explore our own planet first before venturing out farther. That is one thing I am curious about is why we haven't and what is down in the ocean? absent absent
