Homework and Journal Entry for Wednesday, March 26th.
Read chapters 13-15 and choose one person from the book so far that you can relate to most. Write about what connections you can find with this person and how their perspective compares to another's in the book. You can use any character, big or small, from Alex to the man who drove him to the end of the Stampede Trail. Must be 2 pages.
Choose some quotations Krakauer has written out fully from interviews with these people. Think about how each person has come across McCandeless and sees him in a different light. The people around America that have known him for hours to weeks or months all know a different person that has similar characteristics. Think about how their reaction to "Alex" relates to your own reaction. What kind of opinion would you have on McCandeless if you were a driver that had picked him up versus a family member that has been abandoned. Think about perspective.
We will talk about our journals in class and share them in small groups. Be prepared to talk about your character in depth and expand on your thoughts on their perspective.
