Prompt: 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?

 Chris McCandless' desire for independence caused him to become careless and overconfident. This contributes to his death tremendously. I always want independence in situations where I am making a big decision. This way I can think hard about what's best.

Summary: Turning in late, we watched the Into the Wild film.

Reflection: I learned how to better relate a text to a film.
