No matter how big or great one is, he cannot escape death. In Randall Jarrell’s 1963 writing of “Say Good-bye to Big Daddy,” the poet describes Big Daddy Lipscomb as a football lineman superstar. His goliath size makes him impenetrable on the football field. Randall describes Big Daddy as the “Rock of Gibraltar”; however, it may also be Big Daddy’s sportsmanship and compassion for others that has made him a superstar. Although he was capable of pulling the largest of men to the ground, he was always sure to help them back up. Big Daddy is conscious of the fact that his actions are viewed by not only adults but also young impressionable children. He doesn’t want those young minds to think of him in a negative manner, and this is one reason he helps those he tackles back to their feet.

This subject matter is about one of the most under rated paintings in my opinion of all time painted by a very under rated painter whom is Tim Ashkar, and the painting is no other than Beauty of Color. The artwork is full of different shades of beautiful black women wearing their elegant attire along with exquisite heads dresses and simply luscious pearl necklace along with the ear rings to match. All of them have peaceful and pleasant looks on their faces with their backs straight wearing beautiful array of earth tone colors with eyes to match. It seems like they arrange from young to not so old but all of their faces are very distinctive from one another, so it’s very easy to see who’s who.
The tale of McCandless is read over high schools everywhere. Classes discuss who he really was. Most critics state that he was ignorant, by not being properly equipped with knowledge and tools. However, this shouldn’t make him innocent. Personally, I believe McCandless was arrogant, but not selfish.
In the book Into the Wild the main character, Chris Mccandless, made a rational decision to exclude himself from human society because he believed that going beyond what his parents and society wanted he would live a happier life. Chris wanted to leave society and venture into the wilderness to find the true meaning of who he was. Chris Mccandless was neither crazy or ignorant to live off in the wild where there was no people or anything to interact with but nature. Chris wanted to find his inner self and not only was he a role model for kids all across the country but he also followed his dream. Even though it was selfish of him to leave his family, Chris Mccandless is not crazy because he followed his dream, lived his life the way he wanted to, and went into the wild to find who he truly was.

His gang member Johnny, feeling anxious and terrified because Bob had brutally jumped him on a previous occasion, spontaneously stabs Bob, causing his accidental death (Coppola 11.30). Johnny and Ponyboy, now feeling frightened and without a clue of what to do next for they are well aware that those who take life in Oklahoma face execution on the electric chair, decide to seek the counsel of Dally, who gives them some cash and a loaded gun and asks them to hide inside an abandoned church in Windrixville. While staying there, Pony decides to cut and dye his hair to disguise.
In the novel Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, Chris McCandless takes a wild journey. Although some believe that his journey and thought process was noble and courageous, he was actually extremely fatuous throughout his journey. Many people that Chris met along the way made remarkable attempts at making him aware of the dangers that he would surely face in Alaska. Chris McCandless knowingly stepped into the treacherous wild without being prepared for what reality would throw his way.
Different events, positive and negative, changed his thoughts and helped him become more mature, and a responsible person.

He never forgot him. Perhaps, the father also had a positive effect on

He acts against lies and media manipulation so all of us could live in a better world. Throughout the video, Christopher Greene the owner of the YouTube channel AMTV (Alternative Media Television) talks so passionately about the lies we are being told regarding the Malaysian flight 370 disappearance.

One day during a little league baseball game Owen accidentally hits a foul ball that kills John’s mother, Tabby. Devastated and upset about his mother’s death, John holds a temporary grudge against her for not telling him who his father is. However,
Chris Mccandless was a man that many would call crazy or maybe even immoral. He left everything to live in the wild and become “one with nature”. He had determination, a strong mindset, fearlessness and courage. I believe that my life and the life of Chris Mccandless are not similar in any aspect. In fact I wish that my life was more like his and that I had the drive and determination to do what he did.
