Think about a moment when your understanding of your family changed as you got older. How did that shift impact your perspective, and how does that connect to Chris’s realization about his parents in Chapter 11

 As I got older, I realized my parents were just normal, flawed people instead of perfect authorities. This shift made me more independent but also more critical of them. This connects to Chris McCandless in Chapter 11 because he discovers his father, Walt, had a secret second family. Like me, Chris stops seeing his father as a moral leader, but he takes it much further by becoming angry and completely cutting his parents out of his life to head into the wild.


Today we read chapter 9-10 and did a couple of worksheets about family and connections


I connected the book to real life

As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

 What I enjoyed most about this class was the lectures. I loved how Mr. Rease would take different aspects of the internet and real life to make the lecutre engaging and had different people pitching in on the lecture which had everything you would want in a diverse classroom. The project I found most engaging was the poem poster and I connected the most with the discussion aspect of this course even though I didn't pitch in that much that was the part I felt most connected with. One area where I felt like I needed to improve was staying up to date on my blog posts and studying a little bit more for my tests. I would like to thank you Mr. Rease for a great first semester.
