For our final reading assignment I thought it was a nice change to switch to a work of nonfiction. I found From the Deep Woods to Civilization to be especially fascinating due to the fact that it was written by a Native American about his life experience which is an extremely rare viewpoint to hear from. To see events through that frame of reference reminded me of when we read "Things Fall Apart" and how hearing the story from the characters perspectives helped humanize them and their actions.

I to remember growing up and my grandfather feeding me stories of my ancestry. When I was younger, I would constantly dream up what it may have been like if I had lived on a reservation, or what it would be like to sit in the sweat
This ideal displays the apathy for accumulation of material goods. This is best expressed by Henry David Thoreau, “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it” (Henry David Thoreau). McCandless reflects this ideal when he aggressively reacts to his parents after they offered to buy a new car for him. Also reflected when Chris says “Tramping is too easy with all this money.

English writing The theme of loneliness is best portrayed through characters that had a childhood full of dreams and expectations to live a better life.
