BLOG 27!

i am thinking of doing number 1 or 3.



1. 168 says "I am reborn. This is my dawn. Real life has just begun....The Great Holiness of FOOD, the Vital Heat....Reality. Independence. Finality-Stability-Consistency." this passage is very powerful, it has words that are capitalized for no reason just so that they become more powerful and meaningful. Food, is bold and all capital letters, it makes it stand out even more then it would. i think the reality of this passage made him realise that he needs to start over to become something new. start a new life with food, stability, and consistency.

3. "nothing positive at all about Chris McCandless’ lifestyle or wilderness doctrine …surviving a near death experience does not make you a better human it makes you damn lucky." in my opinion he was courageous and brave for going out and trying to live in the wild for years on end. but i also do think that he knew it would end bad, he wrote to Everett Ruess "as to when i shall visit civilization, it will not be soon, i think" this is saying that he did want to go back eventually but not quiet yet. i think he was very brave for going out into the wild, not many people survive for as long as he did, the only reason he did not leave was because he was rained-in. the river that he had to cross was over flowed and would have killed him if he had tried to pass it.
