The end of the documentary, a footage of a whale swimming with the community, which represent hope for the whales. By constructing a sequence like this, it makes us feel aware, anger and compassion which is basically playing with our emotions and also that is what the producer do to make a quality, memorable and poignant

Bill Bryson, author of “A Walk in the Woods”, writes of his experience on the Appalachian trail. In my particular passage, Bryson talks about the bears on the Appalachian trail and he talks a lot about them to emphasize the deaths they have caused on the trail and how unpredictable they are, which is why he had doubts on walking the trail. His main purpose is to get the reader to gain an understanding about bears and where his fear of them derives from. Bill Bryson uses imagery, ethos, and rhetorical questions to express his feelings about bears while also informing the reader about bears. Bryson uses imagery that creates a tense, terrifying mood to illustrate the scene of a bear attacking your camp.

Throughout his journey, McCandless met several people who genuinely wanted to help and befriend him. However, he was so committed to his Alaskan Odyssey that he felt like human relationships were just a distraction, not a necessity. One of these people, Ronald Franz, enjoyed McCandless’ company so much that he wanted to adopt him. McCandless reacted to this proposition by pursuing a job offer and discreetly slipping out of Franz’s life. Once the job offer proved to be a fluke, McCandless desperately called Franz and asked for a ride. By asking for help in the form of a car, McCandless demonstrates that his journey was beginning to challenge his beliefs. Although McCandless was initially against materialism, he was beginning to realize that it was also beneficial to his journey. By abandoning his old beliefs, McCandless demonstrates that exploring nature is an experience that can significantly change one’s beliefs.

Jon Krakauer is an author whose work primarily focuses on the wilderness and his experiences. His novel, Into the Wild, divulges into the life of Chris McCandless and his adventures into the wild Alaskan frontier. Chris seeks isolationism from his family and society and goes as far as to change his name to Alex Supertramp so he is not discovered or recognized by anyone. With mere long term survival experience, Chris makes several minor mistakes and dies; unbeknownst to anyone. After discovery, Krakauer devoted several years to Chris’ life story, going as far to use his journalism background to interview any family, friends and coworkers Chris encountered to synthesize a final overview of his life. Krakauer’s relationship with his own father

Throughout his novel Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer’s own perspectives shape the way he tells the story of Chris McCandless. Krakauer’s writing style allows for varying interpretations of the primary motivations of his protagonist, ranging from sympathizing with Chris to perceiving him as selfish. This is especially evident when Krakauer describes an interview with Walt McCandless about his son’s death seven weeks after Chris’ body was found. However, various interpretations of Krakauer’s work can lead to differing points of view on the subject. While Krakauer’s description of Walt’s emotional reaction to his son’s death could indicate Chris’ selfishness in abandoning his family, it could also serve to justify Chris’ decision to embark on his journey into the Alaskan wilderness.

In Jon Krakauer’s nonfiction book, Into the Wild, we follow how humans love the wilderness, the strain of father son relationships, and for the majority of the book a young adult named Chris McCandless. We see mostly through Chris’ eyes just how much the wilderness can entice young adults as well as how important crushing news of one’s father can change your life. McCandless was an angry pseudo adult who couldn’t handle a sizeable change in his life. He was too stuck on it being his way that he rarely could bring himself to accept help and improve his ability to actually survive. However, there was some good about McCandless. His search for himself and the truth were great intentions despite the flawed approach.

Teenagers and a lot of young adults have commit in a lot of adventures by going into the wilderness, in which they are seeking of high risk and freedom. Krakauer an American writer and mountaineer, who is the author of best-selling non-fiction books wrote this book about Christopher Johnson McCandless and he talked about how he believed that he died by a simple mistake that he made in the wilderness of Alaska. Jon Krakauer tried to communicate to a special audience which narrowed down some of his techniques that he used and still manages to keep McCandless as a special human which is a big accomplishment for him. In this essay I'm going to use the writing of Krakauer to show how he trying to make us believe that Chris was like any other person and that he died because of a simple mistake.

In the well-known documentary, Blackfish portrays what really happens behind the closed walls of SeaWorld and the enclosure of killer orcas. The purpose of this film was to give an inside look into the controversial life of whales and trainers. The audience was able to witness unfortunate events during SeaWorld shows and the capturing of the mammals. Many witnesses were interviewed to give factual and opinionated evidence. The usage of rhetorical devices in the documentary such as Ethos, Logos and Pathos contributes to its persuasive stance that although orcas can be kind and friendly mammals, being kept as performing animals can have deadly consequences.

In the Grizzly Maze book, the author Nick Jans writes about the Timothy Treadwell, who spent and sacrificed his whole life for the bears. Treadwell lived around brown bears in a National Park in Alaska for thirteen seasons. He became a national celebrity in the United States, claiming to defend the bears from poachers and other threats. For many years, he educated people about the bears while protecting them from intruders. One day Treadwell and his companion Amie Huguenard were mauled and eaten by brown bears as they were camping in Alaska’s Katmai National Parks.

Hertog also asserts the cold brutality of natural by revealing the brutal circumstances of Timothy Treadwell's death early on the film. Craftly editing the chronology Trewells life to aid Herzogs own vision of a chaotic nature. In a typical narrative art the death of protagonist generally comes at the climax but because Herzog reveals that Treadwell was eaten by the very same bears he sought to protect in the exposition of the movie we struggled to empathize with the loved Treadwill felt for the animals of the Alaskan wilderness even further we find it hard to believe Treadwells work and vision because know of his eventual demise and brtuality the grizzly bears are capable of. So we se an expertly framed shot of Treadwell in the foreground and a group of bears in the background. You cant help lose trust in his mission instead look towards Herzog's constant narration for guidance in short gizzly man proposes to be about Treadwells life and passion but if we dig a little deeper into the narrative structure and consistent authorial narration we can see that Herzog is guiding us to believe in his own cynical vision of wild

Scott Cohen’s debut feature “Red Knot” doesn’t disappoint, capturing stunning images and extracting emotional heft from the drama of a freshly married couple who faces the possibility of separation during their very unusual honeymoon. Olivia Thirlby and Vincent Kartheiser give shape to the newlyweds, Chloe and Peter Harrison, two New Yorkers who decide to spend their honeymoon in a research vessel en route from Argentina to Antarctica. Everything pointed to a serene expedition, instructive at the most, if Peter had paid more attention to his forlorn wife instead of convert their first trip together into work. As a writer and enthusiast of nature, he takes the opportunity to write an article about the explorers who travel with them, which includes

His focus is on Timothy Treadwell, a man who had completely devoted his life to grizzly bears. Treadwell would leave civilization every summer for 13 years ‘alone’ and eventually would be killed by one of his fellow bears in 2003.
