Analysis Of Into The Wild, By Jon Krakauer

People would judge mostly anyone based on their actions or just how they look like. It’s important that people judge the actions of others instead of judging others because of their actions. Society claims that they will become better people, but they like the idea of it. In David Sedaris’ Us and Them, Sedaris himself learns that society is corrupted through the instances that his parents claim they will change for the better, and the Tomkey’s beliefs.

In our society everyone expects to be the same, however, no one is ever going to be the exact same. Everyone has different beliefs and different interests. Today people judge the nice stuff people can afford and the way people dress. In the story, “The Doll’s House”, there were two girls known as the Kelvey sisters and they were really poor. “They were dressed in “bits” given to her by the people for whom she worked” (Mansfield 203). Nowadays people judge you on appearance and if you are dressed sloppy you are more likely to be made fun of. If you cannot afford the up to date things people have a reason that they don’t want to talk to you. If you are wealthy you are more likely to be judgmental. Not all people are like this but it is known

All people want from life is to find happiness. We have learn that it’s not as easy as it looks, we have to search for it, maybe not literal but learning to love ourselves. Everyone tries hard enough to get what they desire and work hard for it, but we can’t see what the future holds, so no one knows exactly what might happen. Tragedy can sometimes come when we least expect them while searching for what we believe can bring us peace and satisfaction. We see this in the novel, Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer about a young man who is searching for what he believes might give him freedom, he goes on his own journey without knowing the end consequences. The author includes and arranges many features that help better understand why he wrote this

An example of this is the play “Cyrano de Bergerac”. In the play Cyrano is in love with his cousin Roxane, but no body thinks that she will like him because he has a huge nose. They all judge him on his appearance and forget all about his well-rounded personality. So, he writes poetry and puts someone else’s name on it, at the end when Roxane finds out, she falls in love with him. That goes to show that appearance is not everything, regardless of what some may think. Stereotyping is also shown in a recent movie put out by Disney, called “You Wish”. This boy wants to be popular and cool, but his friends know that it does not matter. He wishes his brother out of his life and everything changes, he becomes the star football player and his friends are different. When he tries to talk to the old ones, they are rude to him because they think he is just a conceited jock. In the end when he gets his old life back he learns to accept himself and love what he does have.

“...disgusting and ugly. "That's me," I thought. "That's what I am." (Plath 173). Not only does society pressure one to look a specific way, but it also influences how a person should think, feel and act.

A person in today’s world can often be treated and judged in a less than equal manner before people even know the genuine nature of the other person. Judging a person is very common in today's society. People judge another every day. Whether it is judging another's appearance, which is the most common, or judging the way one behaves, everyone is guilty of it. It is wrong to judge someone because it can really hurt someone’s feelings, and the worst part of making judgments, is that people’s judgments can be wrong. People should not make judgments of the person's appearance nor how the person is dressed.

When I was only a little girl, I had been told that true beauty came from within. Yet as I grew up, I noticed that looks mattered. From their attractiveness, race, age, or gender, anyone’s image was always up for scrutiny. Under those circumstances, I grew up thinking that if people were to judge me based on my appearance, that I should judge them the same way. Though, as I became older, I at some point learned that how a person looked wasn’t always in their range of control. A person simply isn’t born with the choice of picking what they look like, nor are they born with the choice of having a genetic disorder or disease. In that case, I believe that nobody should be defined purely based on what they look like.

In the book Into the Wild written by John Krakauer, Chris McCandless plans to abandon his life and live off the land, traveling from South Dakota all the way to Las Vegas and many other remote locations in the U.S. There was something inside of Chris that drew him into the wilderness. In May of 1990, Chris took off, abandoning everything and everyone and set off into the wild, where he had big plans for his next two years. In the summer of 1992, Chris McCandless turned up dead in Alaska. A series of unfortunate events led to his death. Even though things didn’t turn out how Chris planned, he achieved everything he wanted. Ever since he was young, he had a passion that could only be attained by leaving everything behind and living off of

Everyday, we see hundreds of people. Whether we see them on the street, at work, at school, or on television, people pass through our visual field. Fortunately or unfortunately, we judge these people. It may be intentional, it may be unintentional, or it may be somewhat intentional, but we form opinions about people based on their style of dress.

People judge each other on a daily basis. The way an individual presents themselves, speaks, and behave are all qualities other people base their perception off of. Consequently, these inferences are quite useful in determining who you would and would not enjoy being in any type of relationship with based on surface appearance. However, people may take judging people on surface appearance too far. Therefore, although making a judgement on about a person may not be a negative inference, people take their judgmental attitude to the extreme. Consequently, they have placed themselves in a negative lifestyle which negatively impacts their mood and social interactions.

In the past I kept myself isolated because it was my breathing space and in that environment the world for me was less complicated than reality. I constantly wondered if people were scrutinising my appearance. Why do people judge this book by its cover? There is only one ‘flaw’. One difference. Just one. And yet it seemed to matter so much. What gives them the right to look at me and act like I'm something they pick off the back of their shoe?

Beauty standards have been socially constructed in diverse and various shapes in every society or culture in the world, and cause people to think they are not beautiful if they do not fit the common standard of beauty that has been set by the society. Most people are pressured into the standard by the social milieu. The people who are different from the socially pursued standard of beauty do not think the standard itself is absurd, but they rather tend to be insecure about their appearance. Once people see the beauty through individual’s perspective, not through the socially constructed standard, they would realize how much they have unconsciously forced each other to be fit in the beauty standard. This is something that I have also experienced. I was not a person who fit in the standard of beauty, and that made me shy and timid. However, once I saw myself through a different perspective of beauty, I could see it as a social problem that unconsciously forces one particular standard of beauty.

Miss Hong Kong Louisa Mak stated, "There is a standard in what makes a good singer and a standard in what makes a good academic. What's wrong with having a standard for beauty?" Appearance can be guided by hairstyle, clothes, make-up, accessories or other parts of your appearance, which are inextricably affiliated with our beauty. If being aesthetically beautiful can feast one's eyes on you, why bother? I am not saying physical appearance is consequential than inner beauty or should be the first priority. But appearance does counts subconsciously. The intrinsic qualities and appearance are co-existence. Psychologists mentioned the halo effect most likely affected by our appearance. be dismissive with. However, it is indisputable that our initial understanding of others is their outlook. The unpalatable truth we have to face is that our visual capacities judge other by appearance primarily. It is definitely sarcastic that people exclaimed, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” however, it is a contributing factor in judging a book for the majority. The majority in the society judge others by appearance as well. Judging people by their appearance is incontestable truth，therefore it is acceptable for us to concern our

Personal appearances have always been one of the most scrutinized features that humans have obsessed over. In modern times, it is not uncommon for young and old to be battling with self image. The pressures of always having to look flawless has made many people become extremely self conscious of their personal appearance. Firstly, society plays a big role when it comes to people believing that they must always look their best. Then people’s self esteem is lowered as they believe that their self worth and abilities are not appreciated by other and themselves. Lastly, if humans were to value themselves as well as one another, then the world would be filled with respect, admiration, as well as appreciation.
