Think about a moment when your understanding of your family changed as you got older. How did that shift impact your perspective, and how does that connect to Chris’s realization about his parents in Chapter 11?

 Prompt Response:

As I've gotten older, I've started to see my parents as real people with their own struggles, not just authority figures. This made me more understanding. This connects to Into the Wild because Chris also begins to see his parents as flawed people, which changes his perspective on them.


Summary:

Today in class we read chapter 11 of "Into the Wild" and reflected on key details based on Chris McCandless's family, character analysis, the authors purpose, and a personal reflection.


Reflection:

I learned how to find key details and explain the meaning of them and why they are used in the story.
