Hello Fellow Readers!
We are chugging along here! Hopefully, you are enjoying our reading a little bit!
It is not surprising to me at all that many people commenting on the blog as of late are annoyed or disliking Chris McCandless at this point. I have been told by many that once you have your own kids, it is next to impossible to forgive Chris and his actions (for most people.)
We spend this week diving into Chris' past and then on Krakauer's journey to the bus in Alaska. The students will be reading through Chapter 15 this weekend. Here are some things to think about :
- Could anyone other than Jon Krakauer have written this book? Would it have been a significantly different book if Krakauer did not have the affinity for McCandless that he does?
- What would an alternative have been for Chris McCandless - where he still might have achieved what he wanted to achieve - without meeting death?
Happy Reading!
