WEEK 9
What i think about the Book I read.
The Book Into the wild is a really special one to me. It is not only an inspiration but also a critic about nowadays society. It makes you think about who you are, what you really want and what it means to be a piece of this world. Next to Christopher's story you read about quotations which are deeply and something you should remember. Sometimes i think everyone can identify themself with his feelings and thoughts. And that makes it to a pleasure to read, because you find yourself in it and others. So finally I can say the Book is even better than my expectations and I am glad reading it.
WEEK 10
Spring break summary
Since we have winter break I decided to read a little something in German. The book I chose is "Wolfsblut" (White Fang by Jack London). I actually read this book when I was younger but I forgot almost all of the content.
Since we were on vacation I didn`t read that much, but still enjoyed it. This book just makes me feel good, even so I suppose it`s intented to do right the opposite but well.
And it is kind of sad but allows you to feel close to all nature and wildlife. After spring break I will stop reading the book and continue with Into the wild.

WEEK 8
Into the Wild-
Challenges of Christopher McCandless
Young McCandless leaves his early live to experience it in a totally differnt way.
Challenges at home:
His parents lived in that perfect and new society which is focused at career and money. His parents wanted him to be someone in this world outside but Chris just did not see truth or a need in it. All the sins his parents commited and the mistakes of the world were sitting on his shoulders like a bad virus and he couldn't get rid of this.
His challenge was to deal with what he saw as his burden.
Challenges in the wild:
Christopher started his trip without anything, he had barley food, inappropiate clothes and not much preparation in general. From some people he met at his journey Chris collected some useful things which helped him in every way. But once he was in the "real wild" food was scarce and he had to fight for his survival. But next to those basic needs the loneliness became a huge vice. The challenge of being alone must be one of the hardest for men. You can feel alone even if you are among people, but when you know there are not even people around it drives you crazy after a while.

WEEK 7
Into the Wild...Story Twist
Since this Book is not detailed in a "normal" storyline because it is more like a biography including toughts, reason, etc. between i will simply tell what i think would be interesting of doing instead Christopher McCandless has done.
Christopher tried to flee from society which was in his eyes a sick population and a disease. He couldn`t understand why people must be so cruel to each other and that so many times. There had to be something better, something real. He wanted to feel live in its origin way and his kindness which was hidden behind all lies of the people. So he went to Alaska, alone, without anything. Finally the wildness gave him peace but cought him after time by taking his life. I think a better "twist" would be that he came back alive, based on the fact that he realized that the luck of a man is set in family, friends and love at the end. I wished he could live in what he found but on the other hand no one might has seen what he saw then.
