The death of Mccandless was a controversial matter: people argued their thoughts on Mccandless’ story, and who's to blame for Mccandless' death.

However, it is a mixture of all these, with Mccandless being the most at fault. Mccandless might have had choices, but there were things he couldn’t control, neither can anyone else.

From birth, it’s the experiences that shape who we become. James Farmer was a boy that was the first generation born out of slavery. He was born in Marshall, TX to a father who was a minister and a mother who would stay at home. My intellectual development was simpler than that of James Farmer, due to the time period in which he grew up in that affected his education, the way he was parented and because of the color of his skin.

David Njoka is a tight end for the Cleveland Browns. Almost everyone who has played with him knows him as the freak. It’s not because he is weird or anything like that, but Njoku is just more athletic than anyone has ever seen. He has an amazing ability to jump sky high. In college he was on the track team along with football. At track he was highly know for his jumping abilities. So when it came to football he used that ability to leap over defenders to score touchdowns. In the Miami Herald they called him a “ leaping, pass-catching freak.” When Njoku was in high school he became a champion jumper. At the New Balance nationals he won high jump with a leap of six foot eleven inches. His personal best is seven foot one inch. So when it comes

Dave Rose is under a lot of fire, of which for those not BYU fans or in that state of Utah this makes no sense. Dave Rose is working on another 20+ season and has seen BYU to either the NCAA’s or NIT play for the past couple of years now. No, it is not the final 4 that we all dream of, and not that dream is not happening every year like some of us think (irrationally I might add) it should. Still with all of this there are some saying that it may be time to move on. Move on from the guy who found you Jimmer, who put BYU basketball back in the national spotlight, move on from a guy who has dedicated his time and probably his health to BYU.

Alexander Supertramp, a nickname used by Chris McCandless, stunned the whole nation with his unique experience.

Chris McCandless was horribly misled by his literary heroes. I think that Chris McCandless was misled by his literary heroes because it got him to think differently and got him to pursue a different path. His literary heroes were Jack London, Tolstoy, and Thoreau. Chris McCandless believed everything that the each author has done despite them being hypocrites and not following their own writings. I think that Chris McCandless was influenced by the author Jack London, Thoreau,and Tolstoy.

Going against society is something only very few have done. Not only have they put their name on the line but everything they have done and said. Society is what makes us humans in the modern world. Society says you should go to college and you should raise a family but is it right to do what society tells you ? If what you want is more or less does that make you an awful and ungrateful person. I believe it doesn't we live in the modern age and ethics and values have changed for the most part people today don't do things people would have done 50 years ago.

Becoming a graduate student at Berry College will do more than just provide a Master’s degree; it will be an opportunity to develop my personal and professional aspirations.

Berry gives its students the guidance, comradeship, and support they need to develop into insightful clinicians and individuals.
