    Charles Carlise: Autobiography

    When I was in eighth grade one of my childhood dreams came true. I made the little league all-star team for the first time in my life. As I sat with the rest of the kids at the closing ceremonies of the regular season, I was not at all expecting my name to be called when the names of the select few players who made the all-star team were being announced. When they did call my name, I hesitated at first not knowing what to do. I was overcome by the awe of making the team. One of my friends told me to go up to the trophy stand where the coach of the all-star team was standing and accept my jersey, so I did. It took a while for it to really sink in that I had made the team, but when it did I was extremely delighted.…

    Into The Wild Chris Mccandless Journey

    Since the author decided not to tell the story in chronological order, he is able to give the reader more in depth knowledge about the decision Chris made and other people similar to him, with similar thought process. In Chapter 9, Krakauer shifts the book in a new direction of another young man by the name of Everett Ruess. Ruess was a 20 year old boy, who traveled to a place known as Davis Gulch. Ruess and McCandless both had their opportunity to go to an Ivy league school, for both that wasn’t their desire to go to school, get and education, and shortly after find a well paying job. They wanted to go out into the world on their own and see what life has in store for them. “He dropped out after a single semester (UCLA), to his father’s lasting dismay.”(90) Krakauer shows the first similarity between the boys and how they both had fathers who wanted them to live by their fathers standards and do what they chose for them. After both failed to follow direction from their parents they received nothing but shame. This was a turning point for them and would be the start of their new beginning. Another similarity they both had was at the end of their journey they faced a life or death situation and they made a small mistake costing them their lives. Suffering from starvation, Ruess had a case of poison ivy and wrote to his friend Bill Jacobs “ For two days i couldn’t tell whether I was dead or alive…” (93) McCandless using his book about plants, looked up a berry plant and found it was edible shortly after eating the berries he came to find out that it was poisonous and would eventually kill him. Adopting new names for themselves that described how they see themselves. For Ruess, the name “Nemo- Latin for nobody…”, he wrote this name last found into sandstone…

    Into the Wild Rhetorical Analysis

    Krakauer shed light into Christopher McCandless's personality because it determined that he was a kind yet adventurous person. Krakauer wanted the audience to see that their was more to Chris than his idea of criticizing authority and defying society. He demonstrates this by establishing Christopher McCandless's personality. Krakauer learned from teammate Eric Hathaway, “McCandless would wander the seedler quarters, chatting with prostitutes and homeless people, buying them meals and suggesting ways to improve their lives.”(113) This revealed that McCandless did have a caring personality. On the other hand McCandless's carefree personality was reflected in a letter he wrote to Ron, where he emphasized “If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotomous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life.”(57) Krakauer included this letter in his book because it appeals to logic and offers Chris's own idea that clearly describe the joy that one may experience in his or her life and how to achieve it.…

    Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber

    Modernism has its origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and it is characterized by a break with traditional styles of norms and rules. Modernism experiments with literary form and expression, and it is driven by a desire to overturn traditional modes of representation, and express new topics and sensibilities of their time. In the short story, “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” we hear about man versus nature, and we are being presented to the literary techniques of the modern era - for example the iceberg method. In the following I will focus on elements, such as a characterization of Margaret and Francis Macomber and Wilson, a comparison between Francis Macomber and Robert Wilson, and the end.…
