In the novel Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, Chris McCandless takes a wild journey. Although some believe that his journey and thought process was noble and courageous, he was actually extremely fatuous throughout his journey. Many people that Chris met along the way made remarkable attempts at making him aware of the dangers that he would surely face in Alaska. Chris McCandless knowingly stepped into the treacherous wild without being prepared for what reality would throw his way.

A train barreled over Joseph Hewins' body on a wintry evening in 1845 in the Massachusetts Berkshires. Hewins had spent the workday shoveling snow off the tracks, only to be killed on his trip back to town when a switchman got distracted. Hewins left behind a wife and three children, who were poor even before his death. His widow sued but lost at every level. Had the train merely chopped off Hewins' leg, the railroad would have paid. But in the perverse logic of that time, when a man died, he took his legal claims with him. And so the thinking went for most of the century, until something unheard of began to happen. The courts started to put a dollar value on a life--after death.

The main characters are Johnny Tremain, Lavinia lyte, Priscilla lapham, Rab silsbee, Jonathan tremain, and Ephraim lapham. Johnny is an assistant for Mr. Lapham, in a blacksmith shop.

In the book Into the Wild the main character, Chris Mccandless, made a rational decision to exclude himself from human society because he believed that going beyond what his parents and society wanted he would live a happier life. Chris wanted to leave society and venture into the wilderness to find the true meaning of who he was. Chris Mccandless was neither crazy or ignorant to live off in the wild where there was no people or anything to interact with but nature. Chris wanted to find his inner self and not only was he a role model for kids all across the country but he also followed his dream. Even though it was selfish of him to leave his family, Chris Mccandless is not crazy because he followed his dream, lived his life the way he wanted to, and went into the wild to find who he truly was.

These nomads were known for their farming, growing staple crops to survive. They were called one of the five “civilized tribes”. The main issues that

Would you accept a hard, tedious job working for a wealthy man, who wanted his order to be perfect? In the book Johnny Tremain, Johnny had to make this very decision. Johnny should not have agreed to make the silver basin for John Hancock for three convincing explanations: The order needed to be perfect, It was a very tough job, and Johnny might not finish it in time.

In John Heavisides Journal entry, he informs the reader on the research and study that the University of New Hampshire had done about the northern lights by using rocket based sensors. Overall the goal of the the scientific study was to find the density and energy of the electrons in the upper atmosphere during the northern lights. The author goes on to further explain the abundance of frustration he had encountered after collecting the data. Some data sets were inaccurate when using a different method from the data sets that were accurate. The author was unable to comprehend how this could be. At the end of the journal, Heavisides went to his college professor at the University of New Hampshire. The professor had congratulated him on his research

Written in Nathan Trookman’s article, he thoroughly explains the experiment and its individual parts more in-depth. To begin, the actual experiment portion was quite confusing to understand, so I focused on the informative background part, which perceived to be more beneficial overall. The article elaborates on the lip’s anatomy, such that it states, “lips…have poor skin barrier function and low moisture capacity,” which are facts that I previously read from other sources. Also, it explains that the red coloration of the lip is from the thin layering of the surface skin, and what is shown is the capillaries. This specific article agrees heavily that weather plays a high role on lips, causing dry, chapped, discolored lips. In addition, age is

Though this quote may be taken literally by some, I believe it has a deeper, more substantive meaning that we can apply to

that's what Hedy Kiesler is, sweet and and when she wants to talk to you she doesn't lean over your shoulder and bend herself out behind like a young woman (who is beginning to meet a lot of people)....She leans back from you [and] takes a good look in your eyes and a firm grip on your name before she will allow herself to say a word

Jared Huffman, a third term U.S. Congressman, announced that he is not going to be attending the inauguration of Donald Trump as the nation’s 45th president. Huffman announced over social media that he is not willing to celebrate the beginning of what he claimed a “dark and dangerous chapter” of American politics. The documentary will be about this specific politician because this is currently happening in America and it’s important to research and discover today’s politics. It’s also important because this act could possibly have a great impact on the inauguration.

Mark Hyman is the founder of UltraWellness Centre and a New York bestselling author. He has a MD (Medical Director) for functional medicine at Cleveland Clinic’s Centre. Considering that he is educated in medicine, it’s clear to me that he knows what he is talking about when it comes to human health and nutrition. His article is unbiased because, why would he lie if he’s a doctor? If he really cared about the health of our future generations, he wouldn’t have lied, because although people don’t see it now, milk could actually be threatening to us human. A doctor exists for the well-being of humans, not to make it worse and put our lives in danger.

Professor Heimer, I agree with the article that fear of retaliation and belief that nothing will get done are reasons that many people do not come forward to reporting misconduct. As I mentioned in my secondary post, in my personal experience, a few individuals within a group of an organization have been exposed to a manager’s unethical behavior, however, these individuals were reluctant to mention anything or report it. One individual felt the issue was too small and indicated that it would have been construed as “tattling” and not taken seriously. The other individual reported the issue to a superior and nothing was done to correct the problem. For this reason, no one spoke up not until later in the process.

Chris Mccandless was a man that many would call crazy or maybe even immoral. He left everything to live in the wild and become “one with nature”. He had determination, a strong mindset, fearlessness and courage. I believe that my life and the life of Chris Mccandless are not similar in any aspect. In fact I wish that my life was more like his and that I had the drive and determination to do what he did.
