Answer:

Explanation:

1. Chris McCandless was a very smart, athletic young man. He went to college in Atlanta and was very smart and had a scholarship for there. He had a bad relationship with his parents and didn’t talk to them a lot. He did come from a well off family who was wealthy. He grew up with them in DC and he went to Emerton University. He was skinny, about 5 foot 8, and in good shape.  He decided to go off on a trip to Alaska to live in the wilderness for a while. He gave away all his money and possesions and he hitchhiked to Alaska to live there. He made it to Fairbanks and began his journey on the treacherous stampede trail.

2.Jon Krakauer introduces two main themes in the authors note. First he introduces the theme that young man have somewhat of an attraction toward doing dangerous things like how Chris went into the wilderness and tried to survive. Some other examples are high risk sports ( skydiving, rock climbing, diving.) another theme that is introduced is whether Chris was insane or was he doing good. Many people argued he was a idiot who though he could survive on his own. Others said he was immensely courageous and noble. Youll have to read the book and decide for yourself which one is right. There was also the theme of the grip the wilderness and the frontier has on the American imagination. Finally it brings up the parent relationships between father and son.

3. The purpose of the quoted material is to set up what is happening in the story. It shows the last human contact that Chris had other than meeting with Gallien. It also tells how he will not talk to any other humans and gives the famous quote “ and now I go into the wild”. It also shows that he knew he might die in the wild. It shows his last contact with a human.

4. Alex is really Chris McCandless, the guy who is going into the Alaskan wilderness. He just gave himself a different name but we don’t know why yet.

Authors note and first chapter

5. Jim Gallien is an Alaskan camper, hunter, hiker who gave Chris or Alex a ride. He saw him on the side of the road hitchhiking and gave him a ride to the beginning of the stampede trail. Something odd is that he though Chris looked like every other hitchhiker, something many others didn't think. He is also a electrician who works for the union.

Pg. 3-4

6. Gallien thought McCandless looked like any other traveler who thought he could handle the elements of the forest. He also thought he didn’t look crazy or anything but he looked very rugged because he had been hitchhiking for so long.

Pg. 3-4

7. Gallien tells McCandless to wear two pairs of socks and to take his food and boots. He says that this will keep his feet warm while he is out there.  He also said to call Gallien if anything went wrong. Finally he tells Chris to call his number to return the boots if he makes it back.

pg. 7

8. Gallien offered Chris his lunch his wife packed him and some socks. He also offered him some cash. McCandless said he didn’t need Galliens food or money but he did take the boots from gallien. They later found these boots when they found Chris's body.

Pg. 6-7

9. Gallien thought Chris would get hungry and leave the woods just like every other hiker that had come berfore him has. He decided that alerting the police would be useless then because Chris would just leave later. The thing was that Chris was not your average hitch hiker. He was special and could survive for a bit.Pg. 7

Reika [66]

Answer:

The flowers are personified as humans.

Explanation:

In the poem the writer uses words that make the flowers sound alive. Wide-eyed gazing into the distance, waiting for the 3 o'clock train. The flowers seem to be more alive this way rather than if you were to describe only their physical attributes.
