Into the Wild. Due Tuesday, May 5 by 9:00 AM
Please respond to one of the following questions:
1. What significance, if any, do you attach to the note Chris left in the margins of Dr. Zhivago: “Happiness only real when shared” (189) as he neared the end of his life?
2. On Thursday we watched a large portion of the documentary The Call of the Wild about Ron Lamothe's journey to retrace Chris's own two-year plus odyssey. In what ways did the documentary aid in your understanding, connection, or feelings toward Chris? Or, did you find the documentary distracting? Share your thoughts on the documentary and Ron's journey.
3. Is Into the Wild a man's book? Are there gender issues in the narrative? Look, perhaps, at how women and men are portrayed in the book. What does the book say about men and particularly young men?
