Honors history 4

1. Discuss your successes as an honors student this past semester.
I have learned to further my writing and i have also learned to write in more detail and in a greater amount.
2. Discuss what you might have done differently if you do this past semester of honors over again.
i would have done a better job on my essays because some of they were rushed and not thought to the full extent of my brainpower.
3. Discuss your goals for honors in the second semester.
Get an A, write better essays and take more notes.
4. If you could choose any parts of literature and history for our honors work, what would you pick and why?
I would choose do the renaissance because i have always wanted to learn about all the bad things that happened to the people back in the day such as the black plague and learn about how people had no rights.

nature writing essay

i think that McCandless was justified in the life that he chose because he was tired of how things were in life. He wanted to life how he wanted to and he wanted to do it alone without anybody with him. He decided to cut people off and never talk to them again hoping they would do the same. So he traveled across America living on the land and in the wild.

Nature Writing

1. He found that being in the wild wasn't as satisfying as he thought it would be. So he decided that he would be happier at home instead of living in the wild. During his stay in the wild he learned what really made him happy. He realized that he would be really if he had a family and a farm in the country side. He found his purpose in life and it was to start a family. So with all that in his thought process he understood that the wild couldn't give him all the excitement that he needed so he decided to hit the old dusty trail.



3. I can see that it could go two different ways. Its true that going out into the doesn't make you a stronger man but then at the same time it was a very brave thing to do because he saw his life and thought that he would be happier if he followed his dreams. He knew that he wasn't fully prepared for the wild and knew that the trail had killed hikers before him but still he went for it.
