Epigraph For Into The Wild

The first epigraph is written by Jack London (an author McCandless looks up to) yet again, except this time talking about a primordial beast was strong inside a buck. It referred to a small buck which has been forced to develop itself under the, “…trail life it grew and grew”. Thus representing McCandless and how he has developed due to being under the wildernesses wing in order to be developed the way he is now. With nature implicating struggles on that ‘buck’ it will be forced to go through a secret growth just like John King states.

"Whatever you do to the animals, you do to you." This is a powerful quote from the book, "Touching Spirit Bear." In the story, 15-year-old Cole is faced with a challenge. After smashing his classmates head into the ground, he is given the choice between jail time or surviving for a year on an island in the remote Alaskan wilderness. Like any criminal, he chooses to be freed from a cell and instead journeys to the Alaskan island. From there he thinks he's free, free to escape and do whatever he wants. Soon, however, he learns through symbolic moments and creatures that life isn't just about Cole Matthews.

The second epigraph of St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised By Wolves refers to a “Stage 2” from the Jesuit Handbook on Lycanthropic Culture Shock. According to the text, in this stage, the wolf-girl pack will realize that they are required to make an effort to adapt to their new environment and begin the stressful process of integrating themselves into the host culture. During this period, the epigraph explains, students may feel frustrated, depressed, confused, out-of place, or somewhat insecure, reminiscing about their old home and ways of life. Stage 2 marks an important phase in the development of the pack as a character, and of the wolf-girls as individuals.

In Jon Krakauer's novel Into the Wild, the main character, Chris McCandless, seeks nature so that he can find a sense of belonging and the true meaning of who he is. However, it is the essence of nature that eventually takes his life away from him. At the end of his life, he is discovers his purpose and need of other people. After Chris McCandless death in Alaska, Krakauer wrote Into the Wild to reflect on the journey that McCandless makes. Krakauer protrays McCandless as a young man who is reckless, selfish, and arrogant, but at the same time, intelligent, determined, independent, and charismatic. Along with the irony that occurs in nature, these characteristics are the several factors that contribute to McCandless death.

The parents had a bizarre way of raising their kids .Unlike the “common parents,” they believe that a kid should be free and liberal .Moreover ,that life’s danger’s will help them learn . For

Chris McCandless was just a victim of his own obsession. The novel "Into The Wild" written by John Krakauer revealed the life of a young bright man named Chris McCandless who turned up dead in Alaska in summer 1992. In the novel, John Krakauer approached carefully McCandless's life without putting too much authorial judgment to the readers. Although Chris McCandless remained an elusive figure throughout the novel, I can see Chris McCandless as a dreamy young idealist who tries to follow his dream but failed because of his innocent mistake which prove to be fatal and irreversible. Still, Chris McCandless's courage and passion was something that we should all be proud of.

Research shows that children are more susceptible to commit crimes, fail in maintaining long lasting relationships and develop depression as well as other psychological disorders from the effects of bad parenting. In fact, many people grow up treating others the same way their parents have treated them with reference to their parents’ values, behaviours and attitudes. Harper Lee, an American author, expressed her childhood experiences in Alabama through writing the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. In this novel Harper Lee highlights the prevailing racist attitudes that existed in Alabama in the 1930s. Lee does this by having the parenting style of Atticus, and its impact on his children, stand in contrast to these prevailing racist attitudes. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee conveys that Atticus Finch is a great parent because he is not a hypocrite, he has a sense of fairness and he has good morals and values.

The novel In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is a prime example why parent figures are important in children's life. For example, Perry is the antagonist of the novel, and he did not have a mother figure due to his mother’s alcoholism, and because of his father's absence, he did not have a father figure. The novel also demonstrates the effect not having a father figure will do to children. Perry, not having mother figure to give him warmth and the love he deserves, turned into someone who does not have any sympathy towards anybody and he does not have any remorse towards the pain and suffering he had inflicted to the clutters family or anybody that would encounter him. “When Smith attacked Mr. Clutter he was under a mental eclipse, deep inside

Ever wish someone would hand you a road map for your life? Ideally, a map that did not need an Einstein to help fold it back up!

Running , fighting, killing. This was Buck's’ new way of life adapted to the harsh winters in the Klondike. In the novel The Call of The Wild by (Jack London).

One of the main themes in the book was Survival of the Fittest. In the novel The Call of The Wild the theme Survival of the Fittest is prevalent all throughout the novel the theme is expressed by Buck and all the sled dog team members. This quote was said by Buck while he was watching Curly another sled dog get brutally killed he decided that would not be his fate. “So that was the way . No fair play,once down that was the end of you. Well he would see to it that he never went down”. (London 17).

Oscar Wilde, the author of The Picture of Dorian Gray, was one of few men to question the logic of regarding aesthetic appearance with great emphasis during the Victorian Era. Today, we look back on Wilde’s book as a classic example of thought-provoking literature that challenges social ideas and questions what characteristics should truly define a man. Oscar Wilde was one man fighting against the ideals of the Victorian Era through the use of his epigrams. Eventually, these epigrams would help alter society to a place where relationships are not formed out of beauty, but are instead built on character and trust. Oscar Wilde uses epigrams in The Picture of Dorian Gray to criticize the immorality of placing great emphasis on superficial characteristics,
