How are Ralph Waldo Emerson's and Henry David Thoreau's philosophies reflected in Chris McCandless' character in Into the Wild?
Gnoma [55]

Into the Wild

Into the Wild is author John Krakauer's 1996 nonfiction account of the life of Christopher McCandless. In 1990, after graduating from college, Chris McCandless got rid of most of his possessions, left his friends and family, and began a two-year odyssey across the United States. His journey ended with an attempt to hike the formidable Stampede Trail in Alaska and live off the land. Unable to find food, McCandless died alone in the wilderness in 1992.


John Krakauer is a mountain climber who spent time exploring the Alaskan wilderness alone. In Into the Wild, he retraces Chris McCandless' steps through interviews with his family and the people he met on his journey, attempting to better understand his motivations and the circumstances that led to his death. As an adventurer himself, Krakauer feels a bond with McCandless.


Transcendentalism

Both Chris McCandless and John Krakauer were heavily influenced by the philosophy of transcendentalism, a 19th-century movement believed in the goodness of the individual as compared to society and championed a return to nature and self-reliance. Many literary critics have argued that Into the Wild is a modern example of transcendentalist literature which should take its place alongside classics such as ''Self-Reliance'' by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walden by Henry David Thoreau.


Background

The movement known as transcendentalism began in the 1820s in the eastern United States as a rebellion against the common intellectual and spiritual beliefs of the time. Influenced by Eastern religions such as Hinduism, European art, and the philosophical movement known as Romanticism, transcendentalists believed that individuals were basically good but had been corrupted by society. They believed organizations like churches and political parties had poisoned people's inherent goodness and that humans must transcend this state by turning inward and focusing on individual reason and self-reliance.


The movement began with a group of writers and thinkers in Massachusetts, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Frederic Henry Hedge, and Margaret Fuller, who published their philosophy in the journal The Dial. They attracted many followers, some of whom even attempted to set up communal living colonies based on transcendentalist principles.


Literary Legacy

Though these colonies and the transcendentalist movement itself died out by the mid-19th century, transcendentalist ideas would have a lasting influence on American thought and literature. Credit is due to the writings of Emerson and his disciple Henry David Thoreau, who would become two of the most important American literary figures of the 19th century. Transcendentalist ideas are discussed in Emerson's essays, most famously ''Self-Reliance,'' and Thoreau's beloved book Walden, an account of his time spent living alone in the woods. Transcendentalist ideas had a major influence on later movements that attempted to rebel against society and return to nature, including the counterculture and environmentalist movements of the 1960s and 1970s.


Influence on McCandless

Christopher McCandless was heavily influenced in his thinking by transcendentalism. He had studied Emerson and Thoreau as well as other writers inspired by these ideas, like the Welsh poet W.H. Davies, from whom McCandless took his new name, Alexander Supertramp. In his diary and interactions with people during his adventure, McCandless frequently refers to Thoreau, in particular his famous quote, ''Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.'' Like the transcendentalists, McCandless believed modern society was a corrupting influence, and the only way to find truth was through solitude and self-reliance.

expeople1 [14]
Is this still true at the end?- I think this could be answered either way.
I think that Nick hates the way money makes people act and that the rest of the characters are so caught up in this that it causes the outcome (or tragedy) at the end of the book.

ACTIVITY 1: 1.1 Define teenage pregnancy. 1.2 Discuss ONE consequence of teenage pregnancy on: the individual/ teenager C O . O
Vlada [557]

Explanation:

1.1 Define teenage pregnancy.
<em>- Teenage pregnancy is when a girl below her 20's get's pregnant, she could even be at the age of 10, for her to be considered a teenager. </em>

1.2 Discuss ONE consequence of teenage pregnancy on the individual/teenager.
<em>- Pregnancy on the individual can have quite a lot of consequences in the mind, including to the body. But one of the consequences mentally speaking is the teen can go through breakdowns/gain mental disorders/not ready to be a parent.
OR
- The teen is either forced to have the baby, but the answer can be picked above ^.</em>

1.3 Research and answer the following questions:
1.3.1 Explain how each of the following concepts could encourage teenagers to end up being parents before the right time: peer pressure, social grants culture.
<em>- Peer pressure:
It's could mainly be pressured by the parents or adults that are around the teenager, this does not whatsoever encourage any teen to be a parent. Down fall is that, being pressured by people who are older and could possibly one's parents, you will want to not make them upset anymore than they could possibly be anymore, so one's self will give birth to that child.</em>

<em>Another way one could look at the situation is that the teen actually does want the baby, but just needs guidance.</em>

<em>- Social grants culture: </em>

<em>Religion plays a big part in this pressure to try and "encourage" a teen to have the baby. In the Christian religion it is believed to be a sin to end another life. Speaking in human rights now, it is not a sin to get rid of a fetus that hasn't even been formed properly yet. Some religions do accept abortions.
Culture really just depends. I'd say some cultures would have a teen get a child because when the teen becomes an adult probably in their 30's, their child will be in high-school, which is a good thing. Then the parent[teen] is strong enough to take care of the family etc.. Some cultures will be like religion which is mentioned above ^.
</em>
1.3.2 Critically discuss FIVE religious principles that may impact positively on the issue of teenage pregnancy.
<em>- [personally am not a religious person] </em>

<em>- first impact could be that they won't have to go through the struggle alone.
</em>- <em>second impact could be that the other partner of the pregnant teen has to stay or will stay because of what they were taught morally [religiously]. </em>

[only 2 i know of]

1.3.3 Mention TWO reasons why young girls are attracted into unsafe relationships with "blessers" [older richer men]?
- <em>Reason why many young girls are attracted to unsafe relationships is because as a child that was the relationship their parents showed. They accustomed to that type of relationship in their family circle and brought it with them into finding the right partner for themselves. Older men tend to have free time to give attention to girls who want/need attention, and money is the world to young girls because, how can she eat, pay the bills, study, get clothes her size, get out of her knowingly toxic household, without any money? She'd have to find a way, and most of these young girls that get money from their "blessers" tend to be between the ages of 15-22.
</em>- <em>Reason why young girls tend to sway to the side of their "blessers" is because their father figures were most likely not there or never treated them right or never even taught them what to find in a potential partner. Older men also give a sense of comfort and security to them.
</em>

1.3.4 Discuss TWO negative impacts of this kind of relationship. ^
- <em>The first negative impact is that the youngster might not be able to see what they really need/deserve/have. They won't be able to find what they really want in a partner once the "blesser" either leaves or dies, and they wouldn't be able to tell what kind of relationship is good for them and might always get into a toxic relationship thinking that it isn't, and that it is normal.
- The second negative impact is that they might not be able to move on and get into a lot of trouble with their family/friends, and loose everything that they tried getting together.

</em>1.3.5 Recommend FIVE ways society can address teenage pregnancy.
- <em>All I can say is that society should listen to what the teen wants to do, because that is their own body, their own life. They should be able to make their own decisions and not be forced or persuaded into anything. Teenagers are people too and old enough to decide what they want to do with their own body, and can take responsibility in decisions for themselves. Recommending that society also help make the teens' decisions come out right and that they're okay.
</em>

[that's all i answered, i hope this helped. I skipped like 1 hour of my assignments just to answer this because i love discussing about these kind of topics] [hope they're useful!!]
