Answer:

one thing professional athletes are known for is a large amount of money they get for playing a sport. While most players do not get paid nearly $350,000 for each basketball game they play, like basketball player Al Horford, a significant amount of athletes from a variety of sports have an annual salary of over million dollars. Although they put in countless hours of work over the years to get to where they are, they do not deserve to be paid millions of dollars to play a sport.

When asked to think of an occupation that deserves to have a high annual salary, firefighters might ring a bell. According to Anastasia, firefighters, while saving people’s lives on a daily basis only have an average wage of $48,000, a fraction of what athletes make. The individuals who have the biggest effect on society in a positive way, such as police officer and teachers, are known to be underpaid, while some athletes who make millions are also said to be "underpaid” because they are compared to athletes who make even more than them. According to Figueroa, most people do whatever they can to stay healthy because an injury can mean losing their job. Athletes, however, still get paid while being injured, and in the case of minor injuries, don’t need to stress about recovery. In some sports, such as the NFL, a team cannot release a player until he is cleared from injury and during that time the team has to pay the player his full salary. Lower salaries could result in more people who work hard for the sport and not for the money to play professional sports. Some players will change teams for an extra million dollars, leaving behind their communities and loyal fans in the process. Lower pay could minimize this issue and make players more loyal to their teams.

According to Anastasia, people may argue that professional sports are a billion dollar industry and that when teams are raking in hundreds of millions of dollars, the players, who are the faces of these teams, deserve a significant portion of this. However, these high salaries also come with a cost. The average ticket price for a football game is over $80, and the average price for an MLB ticket is around $28. To get season tickets for a baseball team, a person would have to pay an average $2,270. These high ticket prices also do not account for the even higher priced concessions. Bottled water costs over $4 at some stadiums and the average price for 16-ounce beer at NFL stadiums is an expensive $7.36. Lowering players salaries could help with these high prices. Even if the lower wages don’t result in lower prices, team owners could use the extra money to give back to the communities that used their own to pay for the stadiums and arenas that teams play out of.

Even though athletes put in a lot of work to get to a professional level, they should not be making millions of dollars. Police officers and firefighters affect society in a positive way and make low wages compared to athletes, who play a game and in some cases have a negative influence on people. Lowering athlete’s salaries could also reduce the cost of going to see them play and buying concessions at games and if the prices don’t change, the money could go to charities. An extra million is enough for some players to switch teams, so lower salaries could make players more loyal to their team and community. Sports should be about the game, not the money.

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.
