Based on the first 40 minutes of the film and Chapters 1–11 of the book, does the visual version of Chris’s journey make his choices seem more justified or more reckless than the text does? Explain how the medium (film vs writing) shapes your perspective.

 Prompt: The film makes his actions seem more reckless. It makes it seem more reckless because he doesn't have the proper resources to be tramping but he still does nonetheless. The film makes me realize how much it took for Chris to actually travel that far. 

Summary: We watch a film about Into the Wild and answer questions.

Reflection: I learned more about Chris.
