How does watching the film version of Into the Wild change or deepen your understanding of Chris McCandless compared to reading the book? In your response, explain one key difference in how his character or experiences are presented, and connect this to a time when seeing something visually changed your understanding of a situation.

Summary:

In call we watched 40 minutes of "Into the Wild" and compared it to the book.


Reflection:

I learned how to compare and contrast a book from a movie and point out the different moods and timelines of the story from a film and movie.
