A person like Chris McCandless who has everything in the world is still unsatisfied on what is around him. He has family, money and a great education that will soon be his great future but he thinks that everything related to wealth is sinful. Chris made a journey to search for the true meaning of life and escaped it pressures. He also tried to travel by using his instincts in life by living naturally without other's aide. Whereas he helped people suffering of hunger by donating all of his college money, he forgot to help himself.
Jim's father expect to much from his son without even noticing what could be the major problem. Of course many college students love to hang out with friends but that doesn't mean that it can affect there grades unless they are not focus on there work. When Jim's father stated that when he was in school he flew through without any problems. His parents are angry because his grades aren't getting any better. I felt like it could have been a better approach like finding out the real reason what is causing the problem.
Of course most of the people outside will fail at their lives dreams because of normal reasons like financial or mental blocks. As for me and the rest that would jump in we would be living like kings and seeing life in a way that we always strived for in the first place. If someone gives you a way to have everything you want and need no matter the stipulations you just can’t pass that up. The first reason I believe this would be an idea people shouldn’t pass up is because of the amount of peace and happiness it would bring to this cruel world. Imagine if all the unhappy people and the mentally unstable people could escape the world they despise so bad.
But I believe that Chris is just a guy that is down to earth and real. He’s not fake like most people out there. He may come off as insensitive or a jerk, but he’s really just a guy that’s sick of people trying to help him out and make him happy when in reality, you’re the only one that can truly make yourself happy. Overall, the book and the movie are different. Sean Penn focuses on pretty much the journey and Chris himself.
They don't want him and he is passed from relative to relative in an attempt to be rid of him for some time. He is moved on from his one relative to the next when they get tired making Dill feels unwanted although he doesn't show it. As a result of this when Dill comes to Maycomb and meets Jem and Scout, he feels comforted and contented to be with people who have time for him and who enjoy his company. At points in the book when Dill leaves, Scout and Jem miss him as he was the basis of their games during the entire summer. ”It was then that Dill gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out."
Detached From Society Chris Chandless was an adventurer. He loved the fact that each day he had the possibility of being exciting, different, or even dangerous. Chris was different in the way he wanted to experience life. He wanted to be alone and took no joy in the various human relationships that he had developed in his travels. Chris showed that he was a loner and did not value these relationships by his disregard for normal society and only took pleasure in challenging himself.
He left his home on a search because he felt his parents and teachers had taught him everything they could offer him. Like Tyler Siddhartha is an anti materialist, he also feels people should not be attached to objects. He believes society/ culture is lacking and possibly not living up to its full potential. In Siddhartha’s path he goes alone without the help of others.
Dolphis Raymond is talking to Dill and Scout, “I’m not much of a drinker, but you see they could never understand that I live like I do because that’s the way I want to live” (202). Some people believe that there is only one real way to live and anyone who isn’t like that won’t be accepted. People are prejudice and that was okay with Dolphis Raymond, he just wanted to live life his way and didn’t care what others thought. Dolphis was an outcast who taught that in order to fully know someone, there’s always a way to get to know
The Arrival shows you the struggle of immigration through a series of pictures instead of words. A person can see how difficult immigration can be on an individual and a family. A feeling of sympathy can come to heart after seeing how the man had to leave his family and go on a not so promising journey to provide a better life for his family. Seeing the man struggle to find a job and make friends may change one’s view on immigration as a whole. Also a feeling of admiration can come about after seeing how brave and strong-minded the man was in order to leave his family behind in the first place.
After this, the attitude he had was changed, and he wanted to pay his family back with good grades. As the research shown, “Family environment also protects a child from depression and other psychiatric problems. Their responses are positive and behavior is normal and cooperative”(Effect of Family). His responses to his family are positive after he came out from the depression that was brought to him by school. Chen Da wouldn’t be able to achieve anything if his family just give up on him, and think he will be a farmer for rest of his life.
