https://padlet.com/jtruong116_4/r6bg6qen5hzd5in6 Made with a quick smile by John Truong en-us 2021-12-07 19:38:49 UTC 2023-03-11 02:51:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f973.png jtruong116_4 https://padlet.com/jtruong116_4/r6bg6qen5hzd5in6/wish/1936213930 I rarely go into the wild, but on trips, I do once in a while enjoy my surrounding. I would say that it is peaceful and a new experience. Being able to enjoy nature with my family/friends and witnessing pretty sites. I am someone that enjoys going out often but haven't done much in nature like a forest. 

I have done volunteer which has been in nature and into the wild before. I enjoy the site most of the time and seeing pretty trees and flowers. In the wild in my opinion has tons of unexpected things and will always have surprising experiences.]]> 2021-12-08 16:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jtruong116_4/r6bg6qen5hzd5in6/wish/1936213930 jtruong116_4 https://padlet.com/jtruong116_4/r6bg6qen5hzd5in6/wish/1938823637 Summary: In this chapter, we learn about Alex, which is Christopher Johnson McCandless. We found out that while he was trying to travel, Gallien a hunter spot him and gave him a lift on his truck (4). Gallien was wondering how Christopher go hunting (5) because it is hard to hunt where he was going. Because Gallien notice that Christopher had a pack that doesn't seem to last for months, he try to persuade(7) Christopher to get more items, but in the end he gave Christopher a pair of boot. Christopher asked Gallien to take a photo of him with his rifle(7) before he left for his journey. Christopher want to live(4) his life to the fullest.

Analysis: I would say that I like how Christopher want to travel, but not being prepare for anything is a bad idea. If he was only prepare, he would have a better journey and the story would be longer, and even it would been told by him.

Near the door, there was a SOS (12) which he needed help, and was near death. The people that found his body, learned he was dead (13) for the past 2 weeks already. Christopher wrote his last message and in a dairy which was recorded in 113 terse (13). After people did some experiment, they found out the reason of his death was starvation (14). 

Analysis: I would say that Christopher should have ran back into the road, and look for a town or city instead of just staying at a bus. I like his journey but he is leaving his life on the line by starving to death. He would be remember as someone for traveling but dead due to lack of preparation.

Wayne Westerberg find odd (16) to the young boy Alex. Alex liked wayne due him going against the government. Alex told wayne his destination (17) was to Saco Hot Springs. He felt that Wayne is like a family to him, but one of the law got him in trouble (19). Alex left without any word to his family (22) and last time they heard from him. Alex decided to be the destiny (23) of his own.

Analysis: I would say that alex is a really wild free person, to lie and have a new identity. He end up being close to someone new but end up leaving and moving on. I really like how he decided that he own his own destiny and that no one control it.

Abandoned (26) his car, and decide to move on foot due to his family and government. As he traveled on foot, he almost died due to heatwaves. But when he ditched his car, the ranger found it and try to find who own the car which they couldnt find and used it for operation on drug dealer. He wanted his life to be shaped by circumstances (29) and travel. He later on met some people which helped him as he traveled and him reminded him like a family but when he vanished (31) they were worried. He got a canoe (34) which he took for awhile and almost hit another death spot so he ditch his canoe as well. During his travel, he lost about 25 pounds, but his spirit was soaring(37).

Analysis: I would say that in his journey, so much has happened from him just not being able to start his car to just ditching and going by foot, then coming back to get his item. To where he traveled and meeting new people then to disappeared on them. As well as getting a canoe to travel but also ditching it. I would say that going by foot making him lose so much weight and will be the cause of his death.

He work full-time(39) job at McDonald which he was getting money to save for money. But because he was working, he had to open a bank which his family still didn't find out. Chris decided that he should quit(40) his job because they kept saying about he should shower, and if he need soap. After he quit he moved on and ran to alaska which he met this family and this girl had a crushed on him. Love(44) Chris but he didn't love her back because of his journey. But before he left, he would just talk about his plan(45) to leave to Alaska. When he left, they offer him stuff which they found otu he put back, which they were mad(46) but they knew he was a smart kid and great. 

Analysis: I think that he is just getting money to continue his trip, but he hate the government and working in general, but he need to have money to go on. I also think that it is nice that he meet new people but sad that he doesn't stay long with them.

Franz and chris were really close and franz care for him and listen to his story that chris tells him. Franz try to help chris get a job but him telling chris just remind him of home in a way which he will run again. Franz grew Fond (52) of chris. Chris took off and went on his journey leaving(56) south dakota. Life(57) come from our encounters with new experience and there is no better joy than endless journey pretty much. Franz knew that the boy was special (60) but he end up dying. 

Analysis: I think that franz grew to know him better but I think that it could been different if chris listen. I think chris see him like his family at home.

In school he enjoyed a close rapport (65) with 2 or 3 member of opposite sex. Alex got close to Borah and she knew that he didn't relationship(65) lightly. As he left, borah hugged(68) him and said good bye. She had a feeling that she would never(68) see him again which is true later on. 

Analysis: I think that as he get closer he just leave which why he doesnt really have anyone he care for relationship.

He was a college drop out of UCLA (90)  and decided to go do his dream (96). He took the name NEMO (95) and took it ask his new name. Everett did die during his journey, and WALDO think he was murdered (95). One is moved by courage (97) and is in urgency of desire.

Analysis: I would say that everetts is similar to Chris which is why he is even mention in this. People follow their dream but death will always be behind them. Chris did what everetts did and they both end up being the same.

From the newspaper article what little information (99) there was , it sound like chris which they told the trooper it's like the person I gave a ride to. They moved their search (99) to south Dakota and the trooper immeditately shifted but end up finding nothing. Westerberg phoned (101) alaska again which the social security number turned out to be real and is Chris. They end up finding a picture (102) and identity who it was but how to you tell a parent that their child is dead(102) when he was missing for years. 

Analysis: To think that finding and knowing who body is that hard and that the trooper would run into a dead end. People technology were so bad that it was hard but now it is so much easilier.  But now his parents and family know but it's so sad.

Samuel Walter is tall and solidly proportioned and it give him a professorial(103) demeanor look. Both Chris and Walt are willful, centered around their objectives, really prefer not to be determined what to do and have a scorn for authority (p. 104).  Christopher McCandless spent his adolescence in an air of frugality and endeavoring as his folks cooperated to fabricate a satellite frameworks counseling organization. WAlt and Billie had both known poverty(115) when they were young and after struggling to rise above. Nobody(116) expected that journey would be the first in a series which he go on adventures. His journey would draw them away and thsoe who loved him into a morass of anger and misunderstanding (116). 

Analysis: I see that generally feel that cash improves life. As we can see from the narrative of Walt and Billie, cash unquestionably doesn't purchase bliss or love. It's sad that they didn't keep in touch into the end.

Chris got emotional(118) and told his dad even though they had their difference over the years, he was grateful for him. After this, Chris leaves on his first solo adventure. Walt and Billie don't contest Chris's trip, but give him a Texaco credit card and ask him to call home every three days. Chris's personality baffled his parents, he could be nice and caring to a fault(120) but he was impatience and unwavering during his college year. He goes on off on more summer street outings to stay away from his folks and made his own independence (p. 125) which he remove contact with them. I didn't imagine (126) it, he was calling for my help saying MOM MOM, which was what chris's mother said. 

Analysis: I am kinda surprise that even though they don't like each other he was grateful for his father, and also that father had kids with another women as well which didn't expect that. Chris may have some reason but his father did cause most of it which made him run away.

They had tons of similarity(128) and often noted as twins(128). The family pet dog (p. 128), who Chris want to go on with him on his trip but couldn't bring with him. Less than 24hrs after landing in Fairbanks, Carine and sam flew on to Anchorage, where Chris's body had been creamated(131) following the autopsy at the laboratory. She found out that her appetite had vanished(131) and lost 10 pounds and her friends worry that she was becoming anorectic (131). They didn't understand why he took those risk and chance.

Analysis: It was nice to see that the brother and sister bonded well as well as their pet. She care for his brother even after he left her and move on, she will see be the one that care the most for him and remember him.

He becomes fixated on climbing Devil's Thumb which he want to test by  rising on the glacier (p. 138) aka Stikine Ice Cap. He was working then as an itinerant (135) carpenter, framing condominiums in boulder for 3.5 per hours. He nearly falls through a crevasse before he makes it onto a glacial plateau to camp. He kept plugging (143) upward even though it was hard. With fear (143) he began working his way back down. But because his climb was over (144) the only thing next is going down. 

Analysis: This is telling me that not only chris does things like this but almost everyone want to try this or there is atleast others that are like him. The storyteller shared his story to us and his experience which is similar to chris.

My father was volatile (147) extremely complicated person and in his whole life admitted to being wrong and I wasn't there to see it. During his teen years he came to the realization (148) that he is veered gradually from the plotted course. Pain (149), excruciating at times filled the days like shrill and noises. He lets the peruser know that his dad's emphasis on accomplishment left a waiting blemish on him.  First thing in the morning, he brings every of his fortitude and conquering all of the terrifying (p. 150) barrier, and he at last hit the peak. He Believed (156) that in the case of chris that it was different from wanting to die. 

Analysis: He and chris is very similar and that if chris was alive would he have done something to share his story to others.

Realizing the neighborhood seasons better compared to McCandless, Stuckey brings up "Alex, you're too soon. He did begged(160) and pladed with him to call his parents because he can't imagine not seeing a son for so long. Gallien had contributed (162) 10 pounds bag of long grain rice and 2 sandwiches for McCandless. The storyteller reminds the peruser that albeit McCandless was extremely near progress, including an interstate, he didn't have any acquaintance with it and was segregated enough not to have the option to leave when he was near the very edge of death. Discouraged, secluded and alone (p. 163), Chris gets going back to the transport to trust that the high waters will die down so he can cross securely.

Analysis: If only he kept walking and kept the items that the old man gave him. If he had kept those item he would have survived.

They had a map (173) which chris did not and knew where most of the location was. They found the river(173) which chris could have cross his he had a map. They assumed McCandless had mistaken a caribou for a moose, which would have signified his unpreparedness. They examine his need to take this otherworldly journey and separate the supervisor moves he committed just as the immense errors that at last prompted his downfall. Respect (181) was all they had for chris because of his journey and risk he took.

Analysis: I think that chris should have took a map with him because why don't you bring a map when you going into a place you don't know the direction of.

They traveled by a helicopter (200) which they said they wanted to go on where their child traveled but planned changed. It was sad that they found a silverware (202) which belong to them and something they had in Annandale house. Seeing the mother tell her husband look I can still smell him, in a painful (202) smile. They left a note saying call your Parents(202) as soon as possible. But the ending was sad due to the parents slowly looking back at the bus when it get smaller (203) and until it is gone(203). 

Analysis: The Poor parents had to go to where their son died, and I think that they shouldn't know how hard it was on for him. I believed that ending the book like this was a nice way of ending the story of how we are moving away and what happen has already happen and will move on to remember.

The author after 23 years (paragraph 3) which is lead to the potato seeds. There's one passage you just can't ignore, which is 'Extremely weak. Fault of potato seeds,'" says Krakauer. He tried to test if the seed had neurotoxin which is called beta-ODAP (paragraph 6) which caused gradual (paragraph 7) weakening and paralysis in famine victims causing death.  The real reason was because of L-canavanine toxin (paragraph 9) which become toxin over time. There are many species(paragraph 20) which when you eat one part but your fine but when you eat another you will died. 

Analysis: Wow spending so much time on someone that already died and researching the seed and chemical. Must took a huge amount of work and hard. The reason of chris death was all these seed and if Chris knew about it before.

In this book I learn that he was someone that didn't like to stay inside and explore and go on adventure. He even met tons of people which he would always run away because it remind him of his family. In the story he work for McDonald and when they kept messing with him he decided to quit. Until he met other people until he died. I did like how he travel and wanted to be free from his family and from everything. But at the same time he was dumb for not listening to some people which they have important reason he should have listen like items he needed for the trip. If only he listen he would been alive now. 
But I do respect how he try and he really was a great guy so RIP CHRIS.
