Presentation transcript:

Into the Wild Surveying the Text Count the number of chapters in the text. Read a few of the chapter titles. What do the titles have in common? Read a few of the short epigraphs that come before a chapter begins. (An epigraph is a relevant quotation at the beginning of a book, a chapter, etc.) Do they seem to have a common thread? What do you know about them and their authors? Look at the length of the book. Look at any maps or photographs. Identify the author and publication date. What other works has Krakauer written? What do you know of them? Have you read any of them?

Unit Essential Questions What is the relationship between self and society? To what extent is community essential to happiness? Is it possible to live free of societal expectations, limitations, and obligations?

What might McCandless’s motives have been for his behavior (par. 3)? How difficult would it be to invent a new life? In paragraph 4, Krakauer introduces some themes of the book. Discuss these themes. In paragraph 5, Krakauer warns us that he will not be an impartial biographer. What does this mean? Are all biographers impartial? What might we expect from Krakauer? In the last paragraph, Krakauer introduces the complexity of Chris McCandless. Keep in mind the following four questions as you read the text: Should we admire McCandless for his courage and noble ideas? Was he a reckless idiot? Was he crazy? Was he an arrogant and stupid narcissist? Write your initial opinion Write your response to the author’s note in your notebook. After reading this note, what do you expect to find in the rest of the book?

Reading Chapters 1 and 2: The Beginning and the End Note the epigraphs that begin each of these chapters. One is by a friend of Chris McCandless and the other is by McCandless himself, followed by a quotation from White Fang, by Jack London. In your notebook, make note of all the maps that begin the text. What is your assessment of Chris McCandless so far? Keep notes as you read, ask questions of the text, and write down your reactions.

Reading Chapter 3: Home Jot down your thoughts on the following questions: What was Westerberg like? What kind of character did he have? What was McCandless like? What kind of character did he have? Would you have liked to know him? Why did McCandless start calling himself Alex? Did this make a difference in how he related to people?
