McCandless set out to live independently in the wilderness, but his death reveals the harsh reality of nature and survival. In your blog post, analyze how his desire for independence contributed to his death. Then, connect this idea to your own life by explaining a time when you wanted complete independence or control over a situation. Did things go as planned, or did you face unexpected challenges?

Prompt Response: Chris's desire to be independent contributed to his death because if he just asked for help he could have gotten the right gear to prepare him for the journey. A time I wanted complete independence is learning new things in math I feel if I can help myself it can be better because I don't have to bother anyone. I faced challenges because I'm not good in math and my grade reflected me wanting to be independent. 

Summary: Today in class we finished reading and watching into the wild 

Reflection: Today I learned how Chris died of starvation

  Prompt Response:  A metaphor that I would use to describe my inner struggle is a Tug-of-war. I would use that because I feel like my brain and my heart are at odds right now. I never know what I want and it can get kinda frustrating at times because I don't want to come off as confusing or hard to work with because I change my mind so much. And it's like I want both of these things because they are both beneficial but I can't pick between the two.  Summary: Today in class we read two poems by Emily Dickinson and annotated it with the class.  Reflection:  Today in class I worked on my assignment that is due Friday.
