If I would to be a Hollywood producer and if I remade this for a 21st century speaker, I would use a celebrity person named Miranda Crosgrow cast as a speaker, and I would set the scene in San Diego, California. The reason why I would put it in San Diego, California, is because it is very nice there and there is a lot of people to be found there that can be useful for a lot of things. There are Celebrities there as well. It is just a good city overall since it’s in California anyways, where there is good weather, a good scenery is always good.

Pretend it never happened and sweep it under the rug, just to manifest in your later years as perhaps a mental illness or PTSD? I believe that Bean going to a lawyer and pressing charges was the best way to handle this problem. Why? Well, because Jerry Maddox needs to pay, the town needs to know, and Liz needs justice.…

Intimacy plays a key role in both Dillard and O’Brien’s works; it sucks the readers into story and locks their attention. In both works, building intimacy is primarily achieved through the use of personal anecdotes. Written in first person point of view, the anecdotes make us feel as if the author is next to us, trying to share the experience and feelings of an important moment in their life. Both TTTC and PATC are utterly books of anecdotes, and this extensive use of anecdotes keeps the readers involved. From TTTC, chapter “On the Rainy River”, O’Brien writes, “This is one story I’ve never told before. Not to anyone. Not to my parents, not to my brother or sister, not even to my wife.” The act of confession, and stating how he hasn’t told anyone rapidly elevates the status of the readers; from a mere “reader” to someone even closer to O’Brien than his own family.…

Despite the conflicting public opinion, Chris McCandless succeeded in his goal to survive in the wilderness and taught the world valuable lessons in the process. Chris McCandless “probably died on August 18th, 112 days after he had walked into the wild.” (119, Krakauer) He survived with very little gear and food, even though he was essentially cut off from the world. To have lived for a little over three months totally self-sufficient is impressive. Chris’s goal was to be independent and live off the land for a while. In his mindset, he achieved in his goal.
