Presentation transcript:

Warm up 11/1 It is true that many creative people fail to make mature personal relationships, and some are extremely isolated. It is also true that, in some instances, trauma, in the shape of early separation or bereavement, has steered the potentially creative person toward developing aspects of his personality which can find fulfillment in comparative isolation. But this does not mean that solitary, creative pursuits are themselves pathological… [A]voidance behavior is a response designed to protect the infant from behavioural disorganization. If we transfer this concept to adult life, we can see that an avoidant infant might very well develop into a person whose principal need was to find some kind of meaning and order in life which was not entirely or even chiefly, dependent upon interpersonal relationships. Storr, Anthony. Solitude: A Return to the Self (page 60 of ITW) What is the meaning of Storr’s message above? What tone has been created by his diction in this excerpt? How does this excerpt relate to McCandless’ journey? Why do you think Krakauer chose to include this?
