Answer:

Krakauer often talks about how people have attempted to live off the land in Alaska.  Some people have died, and others are just bombarded by mosquitoes and other deadly things in nature.  Alaska is not just beautiful, but can be very harsh.  He wants people to not be so ignorant about Mother Nature.  The author even compares the wandering into Alaska as wandering into death.  Just not being prepared for the elements of what Alaska can give.

Hitman42 [59]

"The Odyssey", is one of the two really important works by Homer, together with "the Iliad". These two works by this great Greek author, one of the most important in history, have been known as the greatest works, and the most ancient, of literary history and "the Iliad" is known as the oldest written literary work ever, while "the Odyssey" has been known as the second oldest. "Odyssey", believed to have been written somewhere around the 8th century B.C, continues the story of Odysseus, who after the Trojan War, seeks to return home to Ithaca, where he is king, and where his wife Penelope, and son Telemachus, have been awaiting him. On the voyage home, Odysseus, and his son and wife as well, face several adventures that not only lead to the resulting final encounter and its consequences, but also change these three characters and affect others around them. However, probably the one that changes the most throughout both "Iliad" and "Odyssey" is Odysseus himself, who at first recognized himself as a reckless and impulsive man, which caused him to leave his home and family to fight in the Trojan War. After the endless adventures, and obstacles, that this character needs to face in order to reach his goal, returning to his family and home, he comes to find that he also needs to reassert his presence and authority to his wife, Penelope, and he confronts them in a contest of archery, established by Penelope in order to dissuade her suitors. In this particular excerpt, what Odysseus portrays, and that is why at first Penelope has trouble recognizing her husband, is the way that he A: has become more patient and humble in battle. It is not until after a bit later that Penelope and Odysseus finally reunite when she recognizes him.
