The Pin By Chris Crutcher Analysis
The Pin:

You have to love someone to hate them. In the story The Pin by Chris Crutcher the son goes through some bad times at the start of the story. In the story the kid was being abused verbally and physically. “Dad and I don’t always see eye to eye to the extent that at times we see eye to black eye”. Right now you may think the dad is a terrible person and is hating him right now, but right now he is also loving because his father wants to see him succeed so bad to the point that he abuses the kid it's not the right way but he loves him so much. Furthermore the dad wants to see him succeed, because the dad makes him do 10 push ups for each word he says that is irrelevant, “I can knock out 100 push-ups every ten minutes well i'm doing

    Depending on who you might ask, Chris McCandless was a searcher of life’s meaning, or he is nothing more than some unprepared nut that suffered a deserving fate in the Alaskan wilderness.. Those people don’t stop to think about him, they brush him off as an ordinary hitchhiker and think nothing more. Krakauer explains McCandless’s whole journey as well as who he was before the trip. I can see now that Chris McCandless is anything but a nut; he was a dreamer and wished to see what the world had to offer him. McCandless, if anything, is odd and Krakauer states it best that he could be a pilgrim (60)…

    After reading the book “Into The Wild” there are many words that come to mind when describing Christopher McCandless. To Jon Krakauer Chris McCandless was rash, but Krakauer insists that McCandless “wasn’t a nutcase, he wasn’t a sociopath, he wasn’t an outcast. McCandless was something else - although precisely what is hard to say. A pilgrim perhaps”(85). The real question still remains unanswered, what precisely was McCandless? Chris McCandless ultimately should be described as a romantic. Chris was a free spirit, he was a counterculture adventurer who escaped the shackles of prescribed society and lived for the moment. He ended his relationship with endless consumption and simply went out and experienced people and places for what they really…

    The most important place in Chris McCandless’s life is quite possibly the place he died, the fateful Fairbanks bus number 142. The bus is situated in a clearing in the Alaskan wilderness, surrounded by tall trees, undisturbed by the advances of modern life. While the painting is based on an actual image of bus 142, the vast emptiness of the clearing around the bus symbolizes how alienated McCandless felt by his community for his atypical beliefs. The brush growing around the bus and in the corner of the clearing represents modern views trying to invade his personal set of values. In the background, the fir trees represent all the different people in McCandless’s life and how powerful their influences on him. The bigger trees are people like Jim Gallien and Wayne Westerberg, both…

    We all strive for attention and affection, whether it is from family, friends, or a random individual. But earning the attention of the ones we wish to love shouldn’t be hard, especially if it’s a family. “Patching Holes” is a story by Andi Long, which describes her relationship and daily life with her cold hearted father who is somewhat like most dads or father figures I’ve come to know. As a child growing up, I never really had a father figure. For me my father figure is my grandpa, which is weird seeing as he is so much like the father in the story “Patching Holes”, just cold hearted, hardworking and violent. But, he shows small flashes of compassion here and there. I have longed for his attention since I was a child for the simple feeling of having a dad. A father figure is what most people want but a lot of people don’t have.…
