the Wild by Jon Krakauer‚ the soundtrack was performed by Eddie Vedder. Music has an uncanny ability to expose characters’ feelings‚ actions‚ and the film’s tensions. The song “Long Nights‚” by Eddie Vedder‚ exemplifies McCandless’s Thoreau-inspired desire to exile himself from the evils of the world‚ and his aspiration to prove to himself that he could survive alone in the Alaskan wilderness. Through lyrics‚ melodies and literary devices Eddie Vedder is able to convey all this in a song that spans

A.E. Housman wrote “To an Athlete Dying Young” in 1896. Housman was born Valley House in Fockbury‚ a hamlet on the outskirts of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire‚ in 1859. Housman grew up in an era where sports wasn’t really prevalent. However‚ Housman’s poem “To an Athlete Dying Young” pays homage to the memory of an athlete dying young.

This was an odd book for me. I had a lot of trouble getting into it and even at the midway point this book was only a 2-3 star book.
