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: McCandless died because his refusal of maps and advice left him helpless against the Alaskan wilderness. I learned a similar lesson when a camping trip I went on failed because I ignored expert advice and underestimated the gear needed. Both cases show that total independence without preparation can lead to disaster.

Summary: In class we finished the book and movie.

Reflection: Listing is very important if you do something your not familiar with.
