Assignment #1: Author's Note, Question 1

 From what you have read in the author's note:

There are many people that are considered significant and important in our world today. Some of which include Mother Teresa, Ghandi, the pilot of the Hudson River miracle, Anne Frank, etc. Why do you believe that an entire book has been devoted to Chris McCandless' story? What about him can you infer thus far that has made him noteworthy?

A response of at least 5-8 sentences is necessary for full credit.

"Into the Wild"

Welcome to our journey with "Into the Wild." This blog will be used to post questions and prompts that you will respond to in your blog posts on your own blogs. Each post will be treated as a separate grade. It will be specified as to whether it is a quiz, homework, project grade, etc.

Get creative with your blogs. Give your blog a title, apply a background design that you feel best fits your concepts and remember that you must be appropriate at all times, as you will be graded harshly on each post. Once you have created a blog, you must send me an email on edline, with a link to your blog.

I want you to treat your blogs as if you were journalists, responding to the life and travels of Chris McCandless. Make sure that you use elevated diction, as well as engage your audience.
