How does William's story demonstrate the power of education and perseverance?

English

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is not full as it is missing the story. The story in question is the one of William Kamkwamba, <u>Malawian boy who had to drop out of school due to the poverty of his family, but who managed to learn how to build a windmill and provide electricity and water for his home.</u>

William managed this by going to the library on his own, even when he dropped out, and reading the physics books. He found a specific book on how to make energy through the windmill and, on his own, he managed to make it out of the scrap yard materials (bicycle frame, a tractor fan, PVC pipes, etc.) In the end, he provided what his family needs, became famous and got a chance to travel and experience more because of his achievement.

<u>This story teaches us how important it is to </u><em><u>educate ourselves</u></em><u>, even if it seems we don't have the chance. Even on our own, we can learn things that can be valuable, sometimes even life-saving. William thought himself all of this on his own. That is his power of </u><em><u>perseverance </u></em><u>– he did not give up when he had t drop out of school or when people though he is crazy. This made him only more determined to learn and do something. </u>

<u>The lack of money, formal education or material did not stop him; William thought himself what he needed to help his family and home for a better future. That is why at the end of his speech he sends a message especially to people in Africa who are in a similar position as him – to never give up, to always try and to push their dreams to the maximum.</u>

What new perspective on Chris McCandless does his sister, Carine, provide?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<h2>What new perspective on Chris McCandless does his sister, Carine, provide?</h2>

Little Sister

Author Jon Krakauer has told us several times throughout

Into the Wild that Chris McCandless and his sister Carine

were very close. In Chapter 13, Krakauer tells us that the two

siblings looked enough alike that they were often asked if

they were twins.

We also learn that Carine, like Chris, ''is energetic and self-

assured, a high achiever, quick to state an opinion.'' The two

also share in common the fact that they both fought bitterly

with their parents as adolescents. Despite these similarities,

Carine and Chris were also vastly different from one

another.

Carine, unlike Chris, repaired her relationship with her

parents. She appears to have been able to forgive and move

on where Chris could not. Carine's lifestyle is also not in

keeping with Chris's minimal, anti-capitalist approach.

Carine and her husband own an auto repair shop and hope

to make their first million at an early age. ''I was always

getting on Mom and Dad's case because they worked all the

time and were never around,'' Carine reflects with irony, ''and

now look at me: I'm doing the same thing.'' Indeed, Chris

used to tease Carine for her capitalist ideals, but it was

always a friendly sort of banter.

Saved By a Dog?

In the previous chapter, Krakauer told us about Carine's dog

Buckley, Carine's Shetland sheepdog whom Chris adored.

We learn in Chapter 13 that Chris had wanted to take the

dog with him on his post-college trip across the country. At

that point, however, Buckley was recovering from being hit

by a car. He was in pretty bad shape and the veterinarian

was doubtful he would be able to walk again.

Because of the vet's diagnosis, Chris's parents said he

couldn't take the dog with him. They later tortured

themselves on this decision, Carine tells us, saying they

''can't help wondering. . . how things might have turned out

different if Chris had taken Buck with him.'' Carine further

explains, ''Chris didn't think twice about risking his own life,

but he never would have put Buckley in any kind of danger.''

Could the dog have saved Chris's life? We'll never know.

<h2>Does this new information change your opinion of Chris McCandless in any way?</h2><h2>Why or why not</h2>

O n May 2, Jon Krakauer came out with

his latest treatise on the particulars of

Chris McCandless’ death almost 24

years ago. McCandless was the young man

who wandered into the Alaska wilds with a

.22-caliber rifle and a 10-pound bag of rice

and lived there for more than 100 days,

hunting and foraging, before he died at age 24

inside an abandoned bus. His journey was

made famous in Krakauer’s 1996 book, Into the

Wild , which Sean Penn adapted as a film in

2007.

How exactly McCandless died has been debated

since his story first surfaced. Krakauer first

wrote about McCandless in a 1993 article for

Outside , and he has been trying to nail down

the precise details of McCandless’ decline ever

since—asserting himself in online comment

threads, testing his hypotheses in science labs,

and writing periodic feature-length revisions

of his theories.

“The debate over what killed Chris

McCandless, and the related question of

whether he is worthy of admiration, has been

smoldering and occasionally flaring for more

than two decades now,” Krakauer wrote in

the lead to his latest article, posted on

Medium. (A version of the article is also

included as an afterword in the newest

edition of Into the Wild .) If you’ve been

following Krakauer’s work—he outlined his

fifth theory in an

article published last spring on

NewYorker.com

—you’ll see that the new piece is more an

overview of his research from the past two

decades than a new proposition.
