Killer Kane Quotes

One would agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem incompetent, even though he survived for a while in the wild on his own. It was amazing Chris survived for so long but he did know stuff about the wild, just not enough, but he was very bright and made good decision. Also on his journey he made friends easily and had a very strong impact on them.

I choose this quote because it shows how the loss of Thornton affects Buck, and how he coped with Thornton's death. When I saw this quote I felt bad for Buck because Buck saw Thornton as a role model and a close friend. Thornton was killed by the Yeehat Native Americans, when they attacked their camp. Buck saw them dancing around after the attack, and he slaughtered almost all of them, except the ones who ran away. After getting revenge, the only way Buck knew how to cope with Thorntons death was to pace around the camp or just think about Thornton.

For this summer, I decided to read The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. The book took place during Civil War times and went into good detail on what happened during the battles at Gettysburg.

Through reading my novel Raw for the last 3 weeks, I have struggled to make a personal connection to the reading material. I couldn't say that my life has involved me robing a liquor store or being sent to a rehab farm in the middle of a rural countryside in Sydney. In fact, my life is quite different from Brett’s. Brett is the main character in Raw. He is a troubled 16 year old that dropped out of school not too long ago. Because of this, I would classify Brett as a rebel. The character of Brett relates to a person in my life that grew up a reckless teenager, and has now evolved into a kind gentlemen and a proud father. This man that he reminds me of is my uncle. They are quite similar because as the story goes, Brett was a wild teenager that made out to be untameable but Sam (the warden of the farm), saw deep down that he is a good kid. In the end he pulled his head into line and picked up a lot of essential life skills from the rehab farm.

Similar to Mandela, Tim O’Brien accentuates the changes one goes through, specifically when entering into an uncontrollable and traumatic state of military operations. Captured in Tim O’Brien’s novel The Things They Carried, the physical objects brought into combat often reflect the mental, emotional, and physical transformations one might undergo during their experiences in battle. Rat Kiley, the fun loving member of the platoon, drops his candy, comic books, and light energy as his mental state becomes darker and darker when his best friend dies.
