After reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild, consider your first impression of Christopher McCandless. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, do you believe McCandless truly understood the risks he was taking when he entered the Alaskan wilderness? Why or why not?

 Prompt: I don't believe McCandless truly understands the risk he was taking when he entered the Alaskan Wilderness. I think this because McCandless has little equipment, limited food, and no map. This makes me think he may have underestimated how dangerous the environment could be. It makes it seem like he has no clue how dangerous the risks were when he set out on his journey.

Summary: Absent.

Reflection: I learned about McCandless journey.

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: Chris's desire for his independence contributed to his death because when he got sick from the mold on the fruit, there was no one to help him because he was all alone. This reminds of a time when I wanted to plan my birthday party when I was younger. Things went well but I did face challenges that made me realize that I should've worked with my mom more. Summary: We finished the Into the Wild movie. Reflection: I learned about how Chris's journey ended.
