Into The Wild: A Narrative Fiction

Zach practically lived at my house, and was always on my team in every backyard game my siblings and I played with him. We were two peas in a pod. He was married just a couple of years ago, my first crush is married and I am still in high school. When I read about the author and his wife, Carol, I couldn’t help but think about Zach. Even though, I haven’t been around him in awhile, I can still describe him as if he was directly in front of me. I will probably always be able to describe summer days of hide-n-go seek and kickball, just like Angell will always be able to memories of his late wife. Love has a funny way of staying with us, even after someone is gone whether by death or other means. Zach lives with his wife in a different town, but I can still remember all of the little habits he had when we were younger. Since falling for Zach, I have not fallen for anyone else. I have pretty much decided that a career is more important. College is my goal currently, to successfully be accepted into a decent college and then to get through college. I am not focused on falling in love, I do not wish to get married in the future or to have children. Logically, love does not help me get into college or law school. It does not help me become valedictorian or pass the bar exam, so I am not focused on love. Others in my life have based their life off of those they love, my

The situation with Zachary had gone too far, to the point where it was too late to fix it. Winnifred had realized all these actions were unacceptable, losing all the sympathy she had left for him.

Lena, I like your comparison of "Life After High School" to The Breakfast Club. I did not make this connection when I read the story. However, after reading your response to the story, your comparison seems so clear now. I agree with your analysis of Zach. I too felt that his struggle to maintain his false identity was the catalyst that drove him to commit suicide. As you mentioned, the story really shows how past life experiences shape who we become as adults. Isn't it ironic that Zach's death played such an important role in molding Barbara and Tobias into the adults they eventually became? I also found it interesting that, at first glance, both Zach and Sunny seemed to be stereotypical characters. However, by the end of the story,

Bryce Bennett, He was a 17 year old kid who had a creative mind. He was the only child and he lived with his mother they lived in a decent sized 2 bedroom house. Bryce went to a school by the name of Langston High it was a big school like on of the ones you would see on a movie. Bryce was a good kid who got good grades and was always on his best behavior. He was a great son to his mother and did whatever he had to do to keep her happy. Bryce’s mother was

Zach likes to draw many things. His favorite thing that he absolutely loves to draw are eyes. He has a wide variety of drawing. In his sketchbook I saw drawings of pandas, skulls, and a fair amount of eyes. Zach’s drawing times varies, however; he mainly draws when he is at work or is doing homework. You will always see him with his sketchbook and if he is granted any free time you know he will be drawing in his book. His sketchbook is

     Some time passed and over twenty-five children, Dustin’s friends, where at the hospital. I remember sitting in the hall with my friends Keri LeJeune, Dustin Gomez, and Russ Bourque, with tears

When I was younger, I remember this space in between my back yard and these appartments that was filled with trees; it was almost like my own personal forest. I would escape there and spend hours chasing stray cats and making pine cone soup until my mother called me in for dinner. I remember how I wish that I could have this freedom forever and how I was going to run away from everything and live in the wild when I got older. A lot of people can relate to wanting to get away from it all and live just for yourself, but most , like me, ether grew out of it or just keep this image for a stressful day when you want to relax with no plans on ever completing this fantasy. Unlike the rest of us there are the few who actually make this this a reality like Christopher Johnson McCandless who died in the Alaskan wild after pursuing this

Nick had little clue as to how the other driver had fared. Looking up the 30 or so feet to the road carved through through the mountainous terrain, Nick couldn't make out anything except the cliff face due to the angle he was at, and he didn't see any other smoking cars besides his, so the driver must still be in the road; he may have already gone for help and Nick would be beset upon by a rescue crew and be in a hospital with Matt, sipping hot coco and turning the whole occurrence into a joke before the day ended.

During “Into The Wild” Chris McCandless sets out on an ultimate adventure that leads to his unfortunate death. Main points of the story had to deal with him hitchhiking, and throwing away tons of money; or just plain out giving it away. In today’s everyday life we need to use money for everything. The Nymiang Tribe does not use money to state their wealth or status they use cattle. As if one person has more cattle than another tribe member they are considered more wealthy. This tribe is located in South Kordofan State (Northern Sudan) and the population is 100,000 along with most of them being muslim. Now throughout the story Chris came from a pretty middle-class wealthy family, where his father worked for NASA and brought in most of the household
