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.

Analysis on a song ( I did this for a history class) (you can submit the lyrics yourself) *BRAINLIEST WILL BE APPRECIATED
1)Glory- John Legend and Common
2)Glory was released in 2014 in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement
3)This song was released as the theme song from the 2014 film “Selma”, which portrays the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches. The movie showcased the battle of the Civil Right movement from 1965. The lyrics made reference to many important events of the Civil Right movement like Rosa Parks' resistance on the bus, the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MLK’s work, Jim Crow laws. “One day when the glory comes” “.. Now the war isn’t over” indicating that decades after the Civil Right movement discrimination against African Americans is still alive, the work isn’t still done yet. “Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle”, interpreting that the constitution and laws of this land support the Jim Crow laws. There was also many references to the crucification of Jesus Christ which points out that religion was also a very big part of the Civil Right movement
