In Chapter 5 of Into the Wild, McCandless is strongly influenced by writers like Jack London, whose stories shape the way he thinks about adventure and wilderness. Has a book, song, musician, or artist ever influenced the way you think about life, goals, or the world around you? Identify the specific book, song, musician, or artist and explain how their ideas or message affected your thinking.

 Prompt Response: Personally I don't think any song or book has influenced my life in a certain way. Some people get influenced and start to like the person, but I just hear some people have famous quotes and I enjoy that. I don't know always who says the quotes, but I feel like those has a strong message and are helpful in hard times to keep pushing. 

Summary: Today in class we had a sub and we read chapter 5 of the book.

Reflection: I learned more about the book today and really am enjoying it.

Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

  Prompt Response:  My two biggest questions about life are the moon landing and the false flag operations. These questions interest me because I want to know the answer, but might never find out the real answer. The moon landing sometimes looks fake, and people say its with a green screen. I think it is real but it definitely could be fake. I also think the false flag operations could be real with the government doing bad things. This seems like it could never be real because why would we hurt the country, but I see a way its real.  Summary: Today in class we made our own origin myths about the first humans or first earth.  Reflection:  I made my origin myth about the first people of Earth and their jealousy.
