Student Name: Caroline Roby

Title of Book: Warriors: Into The Wild Author: Erin Hunter

Genre: Realistic Fiction Number of Pages: 272

In the novel “Into The Wild”, Erin Hunter weaves together a masterpiece about survival and trust in which Rusty, a domestic cat leaves his human home and finds where he truly belongs: The wild. There, cats are divided into 4 clans:ThunderClan, ShadowClan, and RiverClan. (Not including the StarClan, the clan of brave warriors that have passed away during battle and now hunt among the stars.) The perspective in this book is third person, but focused on Rusty (now Firepaw.) The point of view is especially important since if the perspective were different, it would change everything.

Take Smudge’s perspective for example.

For example, since the ShadowClan drove out the WindClan because they didn’t agree to giving the ShadowClan more territory of the woods, and RiverClan has surrendered, the ThunderClan is the only clan that is determined to follow the rules put down by their ancestors many years ago and will not obey the ShadowClan. While being determined to follow the ancient rules of the clans is a good thing for Rusty (Firepaw), since he in the ThunderClan, Brokenstar views this as a bad thing because he is not getting more territory because of the ThunderClan.

In conclusion , the perspective in this novel is very important to the whole of the first book in the Warriors series, Into the Wild, by Erin Hunter. She created a story that delights the mind of readers. Hunter really makes us feel the thrill of the hunt, and makes us long for the day when we can stretch out our legs, and run

    Jon Krakauer went to the Teklanika River a year and a week after Chris McCandless decided that he was not going to risk crossing the dangerous path. He was there because he wanted to know more about Chris and how he had died in the bus. While the water in the river was not as violent as the day Chris was there, it still was treacherous and dangerous to cross. However, Jon had brought along a map and three friends: Roman Dial, Dan Solie, and Andrew Liske. They walked to a gauging station farther down the river and saw that the basket that hung off a cable was on the other side of the river. Had Chris not gotten rid of his own map long ago, he could have found the basket and crossed the river easily. Jon manages to get across the river by securing rock-climbing gear to the cable, pulling himself over, then ferrying the basket back to collect his companions. Ten miles farther, they come across a melted cluster of messy beaver ponds. The path they were traveling was covered with shrubbery and other plants. While Jon originally was annoyed by his companions inviting themselves along on his trip, now he was…

    In the novel, Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, Alex McCandless’s actions are greatly impacted by Henry David Thoreau- an American author, poet, and philosopher. A specific quote that directly applies to Alex is, “We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them.” This quote can be interpreted in a way that suggests we must create our own life.…

    All of us have different conflicts in life that we need to defeat, whether it is man vs. man, man vs. society, man vs. self or man vs. nature. We cannot control the outcome of man vs. nature, it presents challenges we are always looking for. If you can beat nature than you are a real survivor and can defeat anything in your path. For this paper, I am going to focus on two films that face the conflict of man vs. nature head on, Sean Penn’s Into the Wild (2007), and Jean-Marc Vallee’s Wild (2014). Jean-Marc Vallee’s female character in Wild detaches the typical stereotype shown in Sean Penn’s Into the Wild that wild stories belong to men and navigates and roots women into the American tradition of man vs. wild stories, leading us to question if people will ever say wild stories belong to men again. Although, similar McCandless and Strayed’s journey’s differ due to their gender, solely because in American culture we have seen men vs. nature, not women. First, I’ll show how McCandless is able to own the adventure film by having the benefit of flowing the path of many men that explored before him; then, I’ll investigative…
