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: I think that his independence contributed to his death because he wanted to be alone and didn't want help from others. He was a peacefully man and found that peace being alone. This led to his death because he was to independence. One time I wanted to be independent because I thought I could do everything on my own but it ended up failing and I need help from others. 

Summary: Today in class we finished the movie and we finished the book.

Reflection: I learned both sides of the story today.
