Author V.S. Naipaul once said, “What I felt was, if you spend your life just writing fiction, you are going to falsify your material. I thought nonfiction gave one a chance to explore the world, the other world, the world that one didn’t know fully.” John Krakauer’s Into the Wild is a biography that covers a man’s attempt to live life off the grid and stray from the societal norms of mid nineties America in order to achieve enlightenment. Throughout the story, the readers follow Chris McCandless as he travels across the country, discovers new locations, and encounters new experiences in search of happiness, peace, and solitude. As the reader approaches the middle of the story, they realize an important relationship beginning to manifest between

Krakauer uses the symbol of a beast in Into the Wild to reveal that as Chris’ journey continues his inner beast continues to develop. To begin, the beast reveals Chris is “strong in Buck” (Krakauer, 38). As a form of resistance a beast will buck; it does not worry about who it may hurt but just kicks, throwing a rider off its back. In the same way Chris does not agree with society so he bucks and runs away, he had “an uncanny knack for making a buck” (115) “there was no way to stop him” (118) his leaving was “one abrupt, swift action… completely knock[ing] them [his family] out” (64). This is significant because this symbol reveals Chris rejects society and thus leaves his family to fuel his own desires. Just as a beast will buck to resist its master

For example, authors in literature have separate tones that identify their attitude toward a subject or person. In “Masculinity Is More Than a Mask”, Sommers believes men “can be distinctively good” by offering suggestions to help them. She argues that there is not just one type of masculinity but two types. “Some boys are hypermasculine or pathologically masculine” (Sommers 2014). Not all men are dangerous but they strive for “healthy masculinity”.

There's still, though, something undeniably fresh about the book—Violet's passion for writing, perhaps, or Finch's endearing mercuriality, or allusions to the works of Virginia Woolf. I most marvelled, though, at the ways that Niven crafted her prose so as to mimic the crescendos and plateaus in her plot; there was an electricity and a beauty to the pages on which Finch and Violet were together, a mundanity to those on which they were apart. I found myself looking forward to their treks about Indiana because when they were together, the book was so much better; so were their fictional and troubled

For example, while observing Cyril and his reasoning, I tried to look at it through Ten Quick Ways to Analyze Children's Books for Sexism and Racism adapted from the Anti-Bias Book by Louise Derman-Sparks. I’m agree with the author’s opinion that: “Children are exposed to racist, sexist, homophobic attitudes daily in our culture. These attitudes – expressed over and over in books and in other media- gradually distort perceptions until stereotypes and myths about minorities are accepted as reality.” I noticed that now Kiril appreciates more male friendship due to his interests and age and experience. His main character and a new male friend. "We do not need girls, guys are cool" - was one of his phrases during the work on the

For quarter 1, my english class decided to read the novel “Into the Wild”. This story was about an adventurous boy named Alex who was killed while out in nature. Most of the story was about the way different people reacted to the news of Alex dying. The most common words used to describe Alex (Who’s name was actually Chris McCandles) were smart, brave, hard working, and for the most part a pretty good all around person. Many people were confused as to how Alex died because he was so skilled and smart and had a lot of experience. However, there were still the few people who were not so surprised about the death of Alex since he was so adventurous and daring. Some even described him as crazy. In my own opinion i did not like the book “Into the

On a warm sunny day, a Rabbit named Jake came out of his hole in search of some food. His family was very hungry and only wanted some carrots. So Jake went out to find the food.

Any insurance salesman worth his salt will tell you risk is something you don’t want to take. Risk is something no one - not even those who persevere through it - wants to take. Some people take on more risks than others. In The Call of the Wild, Buck is a Southland dog forced into the wild Yukon and he never knows which day will be his last. At the same time, my great-grandmother had to live, scared of being killed every day as a Jew in Nazi Germany. However, both Buck and my great-grandmother took those risks and came out on top. No matter who you are, a dog or a young, scared woman, you have to take on risks. The real challenge is fighting through them, and with the right blend of luck and determination you might end up

All in all, this idea is one of the more significant ideas in the book.

In writing, men have typical attributes that are expected of them. Masculinity, ambition, confidence, and intelligence are characteristics that define what is commonly viewed as being a good man. Traits of a young man, however, differ from the aforementioned. In the selected stories from Margaret Oliphant, “Mr. Sandford,” and Charlotte Riddell, “Walnut-Tree House” and the “Open Door,” the authors show the path that the young men follow as they make their way into the world and find their place in society.
