The Alaskan wild, a desolate, harsh terrain that should only be navigated by knowledgeable and precise individuals. In the book Into The wild by Jon Krakauer, readers follow the journey of Alex McCandless, on his nomadic journey through the vast American country side. “To the dessert go prophets and hermits; through the desert go pilgrims and exiles. Here the leaders of the great religions have sought the therapeutic and spiritual values of retreat, not to escape but to find reality” (chapter 4). Alex presents extraordinary intelligence and social skills but his yearning for the outdoors overweighs the constraints of society.

Alex realizes that at eighteen he is no longer a child, but rather an adult who has not yet amounted to anything. He comes to realize that he would like to start a family of his own, with a wife and son like Pete. He makes a comparison between youth and a windup toy, saying how they continue moving forward in one direction until there is something to block its path. He says that this is a fundamental fact of youth: youth will always make mistakes, as he has, and that this is what leads to the growth into an adult. He realizes the connection that exists between violence and youth, and that free will is more than just violence but making choices based on morality and thought rather than

Alex shows this theme through his decisions in the book. At the beginning of the book he only cared about himself but as he is alone for awhile and then meets Darla he seems to care more for other people he meets, than for himself. He gives more then he gets. He gave little Katie's family food and was there for them when she died. Darla started making decisions like an adult even when her mother was alive. She made food and harvested corn. Darla grew up quickly when they were still on the farm. Alex and Darla grew up when they were with one another. They cared for eachother almost as if they were married. They cooked and traveled well and didn’t let little things bother them. Also after Alex killed multiple people he almost became not as soft as he was. He grew up a lot through killing multiple people, after this he seemed not as afraid to stand up for himself and Darla.

In the book Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, Krakauer writes about Christopher McCandless, a young man who drops everything in his life to go travel throughout the states and end up in Alaska to find the truth to his questions. But did Chris find the truth he desperately desired? Some would say that McCandless did, other would say that he has wasted his time and was being ignorant and stupid. I agree with the author, Jon Krakauer, that Christopher McCandless was not a crazy lunatic, a sociopath, or an outcast because he had made lots of friends while traveling, but there were times when Chris was incompetent, even though he managed to stay alive for quite awhile. Christopher McCandless had a pretty normal childhood.

Alex is a pilot in the Navy that is very proud of his military discipline and high standards. He came to see Dr Paul after he bombarded a school in Baghdad thinking that it was an insurgent safe house. As soon as Alex gets in the doctor’s office, he adopts an arrogant position and almost does not let Dr Paul talk. Alex tests Paul all the time, trying to control the topic of the

In the beginning of reading the book you read a letter from Alex and he describes himself to the reader he goes on talking about the things he likes and how he has many women that want to be with him and reading this you would think of him as a lady’s man. “… Many girls want to be carnal with me in many good arrangements, notwith- standing the Inebriated Kangaroo, the Gorky Tickle, and the Unyielding Zookeeper. If you want to know why so many girls want to be with me, it is because I am a very premium person to be with. I am homely, and also severely funny, and these are winning things” (2). Alex seems to be a very confident person and outgoing. He seems to have a personality that is very “loud”. The reader is lead to believe that this is Alex’s personality and that he is not a homosexual, throughout the book. Then at the end we see this change and Alex confesses his love to Jonathan in a way that is not plain and

The film Girl, Interrupted focused on an eighteen year old girl by the name Susanna that was admitted into a private mental hospital after being accused of a suicidal attempt. The movie follows Susanna on her journey in the institution as she encounters women with different admittance stories. The one who intrigues Susanna the most is Lisa. Lisa is thought to be a sociopath with the way she manipulates those around her to get her way. She is constantly in and out of the institution causing those around to fear, yet admire her. My main focus will be on Lisa and although it was not specified in the film just how old she is, she seemed to be around the same age group as Susanna. This means that, according to Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages, she is on stage five or six. Stage five happens during adolescence where ones primary task is their identity versus their own role in society whereas stage six happens in young adulthood and one faces intimacy versus isolation. The article incorporated gives more insight on how Erikson’s stages play hand in hand with one another and can potentially affect the mental state of someone if not successfully fulfilled. There is also a possibility that, with the ‘symptoms’ of a sociopath, Lisa could have had past problems during what Sigmund Freud considered the anal stage of her childhood.

     This is a movie that has many real-life relationship problems in it. Alice, the main character has an alcohol problem and because of her problem, she puts her entire family through many hard times. There are four things that can harm a relationship the most, and all of them are done by Alice. At first Alice starts to criticize Alex. She gives him a hard time for many things, including his character. She is hurtful in telling him that he is not doing the right things and that he is making situations worse. She then goes into a state of contempt. She raises her voice, blows smoke in his face, as if she were disgusted by him and goes out of her way to make snide comments. She is using this tactic so much
