National and international attention was drawn because of the controversy surrounding the recovery. The Wild and Scenic River Act was believed by some to have been violated with the drilling to install the portable dam to retrieve the girl’s body from the place it was trapped. Senator Strom Thurmond requests that the Forest Service work with Portadam Company to install the temporary dam even though it violated The Wild and Scenic River Act. Although, Senator Thurmond’s name is not mentioned in the fictional version, he was being alluded to because of his involvement in the factual version. The fictional version diverges at points in the novel from the records of recovery efforts in the factual story.
The feud between the Grangerfords and Shephersons illustrates this sense of hypocrisy immensely. To bring their guns to Church shows that they do not practice what they preach. The gospel message clearly states love thy neighbor. Both families, however, ignore the central theme of the gospel and do the opposite of what their religion says. They are literally killing their neighbor over a feud which contain no memorable cause.
The mother understood that the Congolese people did have spirituality and they did have a God. They didn’t know what to call their God, but they knew there was someone out there more powerful than them. But by Nathan telling them that what they were doing was wrong was messed up in itself. The mother felt like who is Nathan to tell them that they are doing wrong when in actuality they are already doing what he wants them to do, just not the way he wants them to do it. For instance the whole baptism idea, Nathan wanted them to go to the river to get baptized but the villagers always tried to keep their children away from the river because of alligators.

However, he is quite stubborn and the lack of communication in their relationship is very unhealthy. His wife “[doesn’t] feel as if it [is] worth while to turn [her] hand over for anything” (Charlotte Perkins Gilman 4). He refuses to hear her out on anything, and makes all the decisions for her. Whether it is which room she is to stay in, or whom she is allowed to visit, John takes away every choice she has and every decision she may have made. He does love her, but because of the hierarchy in their household, and because he is a physician, he firmly believes that he is right in everything he is doing.
I think this is because his family, especially his siblings Dewey Dell and Jewel, truly do not understand Darl’s positive intentions. Instead, they are just weirded out by his actions because they are too simple-minded and self centered to understand someone else’s motives who do not match their own, making him that much more subjective to be labeled as crazy. Not only do his intellectually inferior siblings misunderstand Darl, but also his own mother never liked

She has to go everywhere we go.” When John Wesley was asked by the grandmother what he would do if confronted by the Misfit his reply was, “I’d smack his face.” But in the end we find this to be very untrue. The Misfit’s character is again the result of the breakdown in humanity, family values and all of the values that have been lost in today’s culture. The Misfit may have some social graces because he responds respectfully and apologizes to the grandmother for Bailey’s harsh comment, but there is some uneasiness about the morals his own father had as a role model. There is a hint that the Misfit’s father had a darker side and had some run-ins with the authorities. The Misfit explained to the grandmother, “Daddy was a card himself.
Help me!” But I couldn’t help him because I didn’t know where he was. And that was all he said: ‘Mom! Help me!’” (126) Chris’s mother said this after waking up in the middle of the night from a nightmare about her son. It must be one of the most horrific and unbearable pains, for a parent to outlive their child, so that leave leaves me to conclude that Chris McCandless must have been a very selfish and uncaring person if he would willingly cause his family this much pain and
