I hope everyone had a good weekend and a good Monday. Remember that you have that article assignment due tomorrow. Read the assignment sheet carefully so you can get all your points. Today we began reading "Into the Wild" which tells the story of a young man who leaves everything he has behind in search of his ideal world. His story ends tragically in his own death. Again, this is a true story.
Tell me, how would you describe your ideal world? This could include things as the people in your life, government, etc. Think about why you think Chris McClandess would want to walk away from his situation and discuss if you would ever walk away from what you have or what makes someone make a drastic decision such as this.

My ideal world would be that there is no WAR. My family would have no problems. I think that Chris would walk away from his family because whe doesn't have the same values that his pamily has. or maybe that his family had too many problems to deal with. Or maybe it is that he wanted to start a new life for himself. If i were Chris I would have not packed up and left to the middle of nowhere. I don't believe that is right. I think that he needed to talk to someone.

In my ideal world there would be no sickness or drama and people would actually be nice to each other. Sometimes when things don't go the way we planned we get frustrated and just walk away. I think that is what happened to Chris McClandess. He got fed up with life and decided to check out for a while. He did the same thing as that grizzly bear guy. The guy decided he was going to go live with the grizzlies because he like them better than people and they ended up eating him. Walking away is never really a good idea because life isn't going to be perfect no matter where you go, you just have to take it for what it is and be happy.
My ideal world would be everyone got along with each other. There would be no rules for certain things. I think Chris McClandess wanted to walk away from his problem because maybe he got frustrated with someone or something. Or he got him self in trouble and he couldn't get away from it. Also, he could of had trouble at home. If I would walk away from something it would be something that is getting me stressed out. What would make someone make a decision like this? Maybe that person may have problems going on that he didn't want to deal with or couldn't.

Ideally my world would consist of a less corrupted government. It would be a world were people weren't so one sided and proud. I believe Chris McClandess couldn't tolerate the worlds dependence on money. Honestly I have thought about leaving the life I am currently living, not because I don't appreciate, but because I hate the dependence. I hate how much the desire of money controls our decisions. I would love to have the freedom of making a decision that doesn't ultimately conclude with how much money i will make. I will always wonder the ways I could live my life, but for now, I'm content.
Chloe Martin, 6th hour
Well i think he may have walked away from his life because maybe he lost someone he loved. Maybe it was like he couldnt live without that person so he just wanted to get away from the world. Of corse it ends horibly he dies, but maybe thats what he wanted. My ideal world is like this, i have a mom a dad 2brothers they all love me, then i have my friends and the other parts of my family. Like my cousins and aunt and uncles.
I think that inorder for someone to walk away from there lives like Chris McClandess did something horible would have to happen, Or maybe they just went crazy and had to get away. Or maybe they lost someone very close to them and they just didnt have a reason to live any more.

Mr. Kay,
My ideal world would be a world in which there was no profiling of anyone. People nowadays there is competition for everything. People compete over things that are dumb. I think that Chris is kind of a pschyco for leaving and everything. I think that the only way you can get away from your problems is to face them and make them better. If you run away you jsut make it worse and it haunts you. He was pretty much commiting suicide.

P.S. sorry bout not doing that last blog i totally forgot and is there anyway I can get late credit?
Mr. Kay,
My idea of an ideal world would be where no one gets judged about where they live or if they have alot of things or any of that. I think that Chris is leaving everything behind because he wants to discover what the real world is like for people that are less fortunate than his life style. I personaly would not leave all I had behind, I think that I would just keep moving forward. I don't think that Chris was planing on dieing, I think that Chris thought that by doing this, he could accomplish something great, to make his friends and family really proud of him.

My ideal world would be one where their is no probelems. The climate crisis would be figured out, their would be world peace. To be honest, im not sure why chris would want to walk away from his life. He seems like an intelligent man, and could have a successful life. My opinion could change later on in the story. I wouldnt walk away from my life, simply because im young and dont know what I can become. Someone to make such a drastic choice would have to be lonely and scared. It could be because your not familiar with your surroundings, or are just scared with things happening to yourself that you just want to leave everything and just be alone.
Sean Deters
My ideal world would be a world where there is no fighting. My friends would be able to hang out with me all the time. And there would be no problems within my family. I believe that Chris would walk away from his family because of problems that they were having. Or maybe because he just wanted to be away from them for a while. I wouldn't walk away from what I have here. Mainly because my friends are here and I don't want to lose them. I think Chris needed to think it througha little bit more before he went on his "journey".

my ideal world would be that every where in the world be free and get along. my family would get as much money as they wanted. i think that Chris walked away from his life because he wanted to live in the wild and explore the outdoors. as much as i have said that i wanted to leave i would never actually leave my life behind. some things that might make someone make such a drastic decision is that there life might just be bad or they think it a waste of time and space. another reason is that they might be having trouble at home with there family. that is some reasons that someone might make such a big decision.
The ideal world, in my opinion, would be peaceful where everybody had a chance to thrive. There would be equal competition throughout the world to keep prices down and everyone happy. There would be a democratic republic for every country and crime would be found few and far in between. The main key is equality. No one person should be treated better than any other. Other than that list, the world is pretty good because its how the world was meant to be. I can see why McClandess would walk away from the world. The world can be a very tough place to live in. It has many flaws, however I believe that these flaws make the world real. I could never just walk away from my life and the world.

My ideal world would be, everyone is happy. There would be no war or hunger. Everbodys econimy is doing well and everone is fine. Also it would be nice to have 10 really hot chick to give me back rubs whenever I want. This would be my ideal world. I think chris ran away from home so he could just be free. I think that he was just tired of the stereotyping and trying to earn money. You go to school to get a job to make money, then retire. And then you die. I think chris just diddn't want to follow the routin, so he ran away.

My ideal world would be simple. it would consist of peace, and be an actual "Independent" country. We have been to dependent on foreign countries for far to long. I am sick and tired of seeing things with, MADE IN CHINA, or MADE IN KOREA, or any other stupid place we could think of to help us dig an even bigger into defecate. I think Chris wanted to run away from any problems he had at home, if he even had a "home" to go to. He wanted to get out on his own and live in nature. I have thought about in my own way of 'leaving the country". To me the government is going to rip it self apart and us until their is nothing left but poverty depression and a broken country. My way of escaping the problems that America is making is to run away onto an island and live far away from the craziness of this country. I'm not saying our country is terrible or i don't appreciate our rights but we need to do something fast or their will be no more of the America we know and hopefully love.

Mr. Kay,
I guess you could say that everyone has a diffent ideal look on life. Mine would definatly be a stress free lifestyle. I would like to be on a beach island with all the people that make me happy. No school, no work, no bills, no taxes, and most of all nothing to stress over. Chris Mcclandness probably deceided to walk away in his life because he felt unwanted. It is easy for all of us to feel like this sometimes because we constantly put one another down. If we treated everyone the same I dont think we would have such problems as this.

Alex martin
My ideal world would be a world with no wories and not having to stress about things. If i was Chirs to want to walk away from everything would be very hard. I don't know what would make me want to do this but if i was very poor and had nothing to loss. The only other reason i would do this is if I wanted to me alone and live in the wild. To this to happen to me would be a very bad day. Looking at my life now i don't know if i would ever do what he did. This book sounds very good and i am looking forward to reading it.

my ideal world, would not have me in it.... possible? i hope it is.... everyone in it would be in it cause almost everyone at lakeland h8s me.....
If I had a perfect world, it would be full of people or something that make you feel better on a bad day. Of course there would have to be some bad things. If there weren't then life wouldn't be so interesting. There would also be 1 person that everyone had so no one would ever feel lonely. Sickness or disease would not exist and everyone would be different. I didn't read the story today, but the main character probably left because life wasn't that great, but things usually get better. I don't know if i would leave everything, if I did, I'd have to visit my family every few months, but I'm used to not seeing my close family for months at a time.
Carolyn Newton Period 5
I think my ideal world would be a place that nothing could go wrong. Where you would never have a bad day. To just get away from the wars the government.My ideal place would be free and independent I think chris would walk away from his life is to start over to have adventager. Maybe he was sick of his life and wanted something more, something different. I dont think i could walk away from my life right now i think am too young and i have my whole life a head of me so i wouldnt want to walk away from anything now.

My ideal world would be that everybody got along and nobody would make fun of each other. Everyone would say hi to each other in the hallways and nobody would say that they want to beat some kid up. I think Chris left becasue he was unhappy with the way his life was going. He probably didnt get along with his family very well and his family didnt get along either. I think if I ever got into a bad situation I would go away somewhere. I would want to go to some place secluded away from everybody else and live a while there. I wouldnt give away all my money and everything but yeah I would leave.
Troy Wojichowski 6th hr.
My ideal world consist of many things. One thing is i think we should still have war but not as much as we do right now. Also, i think we should sell gas and oil at one standard rate thoughout the whole world. Another big thing is free religion everywhere along with a democray everywhere. i think chris would walk away from his situation because everything around him was being taken for granet. I would walk away but under some sercumstances. One main one is i would keep some money and bring some food but little of both then do everything else how he did it.
Ty Bouwens, 6th hour
My ideal world would have a bunch of positively diverse people. People who don't provoke others to violence. It's okay to have an occasional conflict, but nothing so serious that it endagers the lives of others. There would be a loose government, where they didn't intrude on schools or any one person's personal life because of their past mistakes.
The only time I'd walk away from what I have is when I want to explore the world on my own after school's done for me. Or, the 'mostlikely' senario, when I decide I can't take it anymore and run away and join the circus. ;3

my ideal world: pretty tree's pretty women and nothing that can kill me.... lion's, tiger's, and bear's..... ummm ya i think mccandless thought he deserved less because he had like everything, like $25,000 and a car? i dont know if it was a good car, but at least he has a car..... anyway. i would, to get away from alot of stuff i go through. like my date for homecoming, she's deffinitely one reason..... shes a terrorist..... omfg!!!!!!!! noone would ever do that, it's just a story.....
My ideal world would consist of no diseases would exist, no drama, and no more war. I think that Chris walked away from his everything was because he just wanted to start over. Also because maybe he thought his life was too perfect. Becasue he grew up in a wealthy family, was an athlete at school, and seemed to have descent friends. Or maybe his family didnt really pay attension to him, so he decided to leave. In my opinion, I would never walk away from everything becasue I would eventually miss all my friends and family, and get home sick. Chris's decision to leave everything behind was a very drastic and impulsive thing to do in his part.

MY ideal world would be, definitely do drama. Where everyone can just be themselves without feeling bad, or being afraid that someone will make fun of them, for something they enjoy doing. I think that Chris McClandess just got so frustrated with the people around him, he just needed to get away. Which is perfectly understandable. What I disagree with him leaving to go to the wild, is that he's running away from his problems. You have to take control of what's going on in your life, and find a way to deal with it. It may not be easy at times, but that's something that everyone has to go through. Even if it means, facing something you don't want to.

My ideal world, no war, no sickness and a cure for everthing, no fighting between genders. Also that no one would be singled out on anything because of race or gender. people get singled out all the time because of who they are. I also think everyone should be treaded equaily. I dont really know why anyone would wanna walk away from there life. I never would. Maybe chris just wanted to start on a new sleet. With no mistake in his life.
MYYYYY ideal would be, carefree, drama free...full of expression world. I hate when people talk crap, and it needs to end now, I HATE catty people, that need to know everything. My world, would be honest where people stay loyal, and help people out when in need. I think Chris McClandess got annoyed of the people surrounded him, so he wanted to start fresh, and see what its like to start out without with practically nothing. I'm sort of in the middle with his decisooin, I think it was good that hes starting fresh, but he shouldn't run from alot. That WON'T solve anything. If it works for him then who cares, as long as hes happy. I think everyone should experience things the hard way, without learning and making mistakes, you'll never learn in life.

My ideal world would include equality. Everyone would be treated with the same respect they deserve. My life would pretty much be the same. Chris might have had a terrible home life even if he was rich smart and athletic. He may not have had supporting parents. Maybe they beat him and thats why he wanted to escape. Or he felt he was hopeless because he parents weren't there anymore. I don't think i would ever walk away from my situation because my parents always taught me to fight through problems no matter the size.

my ideal world would be either a cool city area or a beach sceane. there kinda both totally different but id wamt one or the other. i would want my family and my close friends in my ideal world. im not sure why chris mcclandess wanted to leave his life. but it must have been something significant to make him take such a drastic change. i could see myself walking away from a situation i didnt like but not as crazy as chris did. i hope we find out in the book what made chris take this drastic step.
Andy B, 6th hour
my ideal world would be similar but different from ous today. i would make it so that there were no predujices or discrimination. i would have it so my friends, family, and good people were here. my ideal world would let us get out of this sterio type place. i think Chris wanted to go into the lonely forests of Alaska for many reasons. some people might think could have wanted a change, an adventure, or was trying to think. he could also be trying to get away from the world he grew up in. even though he had a life many others would want he could still not like it. just because he had the education and material iteams doesn't mean he was happy the way people acted. our world is cruel and hard sometimes. a lot of people are not the best. i can see why he wanted to go to Alaska.
My ideal world would be the most perfect world ever. It would have millions of xbox's so i could play with all of my friends in the same room, have tennis courts lined up every where, have the comfiest couches and best T.V.'s and all the best foods that are bagd for you would be could. I wouldn't have government beacuse there would be no crime. I think that Chris walked all that way was beacuse of his search for a new life differnent from his past life. I question why he di it beacuse i thought, from what i herd, he had a pretty good life. I would never walk that far and run away. First of all i wouldn't make it. And Second i have a great life why would i trade it away. I think he made that descion beacuse he had a mental problem or something because who would do that .

My ideal world would be were there was no profiling against anyone. everyone got along, no matter what. All the costs to things would be really low. Also everyone with out a home, job anything. They would all have one. And there would be no rules for anything. Chris McClandess probally walked away on life becuase people put sterotypes on him, or he felt like no one wanted him there. Thats why i think he walked away.

My ideal word would be plenty of self control and limited government. I hope that the war will end and people will just kinda realize that the silly stuff we fight about never really mattered. And the billions we spend in Iraq each day are not worth are troubles. That money can go to feeding the poor or giving to charity. I believe Chris meant well when leaving his family. He came from wealth and from a family who believed money was everything. But Chris was an extremley bright young boy who believed there was more to life. In another way I feel like maybe he didn't realize how lucky he was to have grown up in such a wealthy and well educated family. But people just don't get up and leave he obviously knew there was more to life then what he had been so kindly giving, and you can't blame him for that.
In my ideal world I would want to live people who are humble and
gracious. No one thought themselves better than another and we all coexisted peacefully and respectfully. No problems would occur that we didn't have the solution for. As for Chris McClandess, there could
have been many reasons why he may have walked away from his situation. I think one of the reasons he went on this search was to find himself and to find what life was really about. Sure, he could have had everything he wanted, but possibly Chris felt he needed to gain more out of his life, to find what he was here for. I would take a serious event for me walk away from what I have. I don't think anything would affect me so much that I would leave everything that I know and love behind.

In my ideal world, i think everything would be slower and more calm. I think i would go back to middle school. There would be one country for everyoe to live in to try to put an end on some fueds between countries. I think that Chris McCandless would walk away, because he didnt like his family, and because he enjoyed the wilderness. Maybe someone was going through some hardships and wants to start over. I think that if i ever did this, i would not followthe route chris took. I think that i would find a way to stay connected with family, and a way to have extra rescources readily availible.
My ideal world would be where there would be no war. And where everyone would get along. I think that Chris McClandess would have walked away from his situtaion because he could have been annoyed with always being surrounded by rich people , etc. Or that maybe he didn't want the same things his parents had. I dont think that I would ever walk away from what I have. Even though sometimes I get annoyed with my family I would never want to walk away , because I know im lucky for what I have. Someone might want to make a drastic decision is if they didnt want the same things their family wanted or if they wanted better than what their parents wanted.

If I could get a ideal world it would have a few things. One it would be a partied out world. No drug laws. Thats Bull****. I wish i could see my freinds more often. I also e=wish my ideal world would have new experiences. Like an adventure every day. I also would like to own every comic made from marvel. Lets change topics for a second. I have a very good reason for chris to leave everything behind. He like I would like to feel new expireinces. Its kinda like skydiving. it a big rush. You can never get tired of that rush. Its Just the same concept.

My ideal world would be debt free. Also, to have no abuse, rape, crime, and harassment. But we all know thats impossible. I would never walk away from what i have. I say this because everything i accomplish, i tried to do it, and have done it well. If i wanted to walk away from it, why would i even try? I think chris walked away because he hated society, and just wanted to be away from it all.

I am Pretty sure you spelled his name Wrong Mr.Kay, i believe it is McCandless. sorry for being corrective, it is in my nature.
my ideal world would be somewhere where we would have no conflict, no homeless, no problems that would affect me. sadly, the more i write about what my perfect world would be, i notice how it is never going to happen. i notice that we need conflict, and problems; so that people can continue to solve them, and so that we can evolve, and continue our life. I know thats the essence of our being, so, i can not wish for a perfect world, which does not, and can not exist. Its sad to say that, but also calming to know that we will never get to a point where we have nothing left to do.
i see why chris walked away from this tragedy of a place we call home and safe. he wanted to go back to what the early people had to, and that was fend for themselves. of course, i am not in the same mental state as him, because i do not know his thought process of why he would leave his world, or what could have been his hell hole of a world.
I think he did it to prove something to himself, and for other people to watch and care. but i think inside, he did it for himself, and had no care for whatever other people thought of him.
Tyler Mcleod
My ideal world is a world where Americas ought of debt,troops are out of iraq,and we solve the illegal alien problem.My life ideals are to go to college,find a nice wife,get an well paying job,and to start a family.I also want to communism leave russia and korea.I think Chris was bored of life and did'nt want to live the same old boring life his parents did.I dont think he really gave a care whether he was wealthy or not.He wanted something in life which i think was something we will never know.I really cant think of something that maybe would make somebod do this.SInce he knew it could be fatal he was depressed.Either way it will be interesting to learn more to why he does what he does.
My ideal world is that there is no sickness and no wars. I think that Chris walked away because he couldn’t take it anymore. That shows how strong his values are. Or it might have been his family forcing him to give up. Or he might have had mental issues. He could have just wanted a fresh start. If I were Chris I wouldn’t have just given up I would have pushed trough it.

In my ideal world there wouldn't be any pain and suffering. Also everyone would be happy and know who they are and where they are headed. I think Chris McClandess walked away from his situation is because he was bored. He didn't think that the lifestyle was for him so he decided to leave. He probually got to the point of not caring and tired of wishing he was someone else that he just broke down and left. If I was sick of my lifestyle I would leave and try something new. I think Chris could have planned things out better but if he did it right, I'm sure he could be happy.

My ideal world would consist of peace throughout mankind, and no struggles economically. I think ideally we should shift more toward the conservative side of the political spectrum. I don't really agree with the ideas of welfare and many other things that the liberals do. I think Chris McClandless walked away to escape from all the struggles that he faced while living with the rest of society. I think you would truly have to hate your life to make a decision like that. I don't ever plan to walk away from what I have because even though my life isn't perfect, I do like it a lot..
My perfect world would be where there was no drama, no fighting, just everyone getting along. I think that Chris wanted to walk away from his life because he didn't like were it was going. He also didn't like the actions that were going on around him either. I could never just walk away from my life. No matter how bad it got. My family mean too much to me to just walk away from them. I unlike most teens get along with my parents, we have a special kind of relationship.

My ideal world would be a world where people accept each other for who they are and do not fight. Peacefulness is an amazing thing and if there was only peace and no arguing, then life would be so much more simple and stress-free. I believe that Chris McCandless would walk away from his situation because he wanted to enjoy a more simple life. He wanted to be free from others' judgement. I think that Chris just did not want to handle life and all of the problems that go with it. No matter what though, I do not think that making a drastic decision like his is ever a good idea. You can never run away from life, because no matter where you go, you will be given hardships to go through, whether they be emotional or physical. Plus, I believe you need others that support and love you, whether that just be one person or many people. If you block them out of your life as Chris did, you have nobody to help you. Isolating yourslef like that generally ends poorly, as we find in Chris's life story. You have to let others help you, even if you may not want to, because sometimes having some one there could be the difference between life and death.
Mainly because of these reasons I would not walk away from my life. Although I get frustrated at times and do not want to put up with problems, I still have to remember that I have a pretty easy life in comparison to other people. I have others that care about me and good living conditions, and I do not know why anybody would want to trade that for the unforgiving conditions of a place such as Alaska. Instead of making drastic decisions, taking problems as a chance to grow as a person is a better way to live your life to its fullest.
My ideal world is no money issues, and living how i want to. Having no worries. I think chris would leave everything because he needed a break from the way life is today. He wanted to see life how people did hundreds of years ago. He decided to wander to not have typical world issues that can ruin a person. I dont blame him for wanting a fresh start. From what i predict about his past life, i would want the same thing for myself.

My ideal world would be one without bull shit. Where people do what they say they will and can do what they say they can. There could be all sorts of reasons why he would walk away from his situation. His job could be going down hill, someone in his family died, or he just wanted to get away from todays world. He could have just snaped under the pressure of something and decided I want to live where no one can bother me. Sometimes it may be better to walk away from a situation and come back to it. It has never really been a good idea to drop everything and jusy walk away and give up.

My ideal world would consist of many changes. Such as in economics, war, and government. All these changes would make the overall society so much more comfterble and trustable. But from chris's view i believe he left because of different values seen. Values seen in life thet were different from family and friends. Personaly i would never walk away from a situation like that. I would not make a decision like this because of my loving, caring and supporting family and friends. These important values would never make a thougth such as leaving or walking away cross my mind.

My ideal world would concist of, everyone being equal no matter what and no one should treat someone differt no meatter gender or religon. Right now where im at in life i would want to leave eveything behind and start a new life just like chris with out th tradgade. I would leave everyhing besides my girlfriend. I think making a drastic change such as this becasue of not liking how things are going and how you want and think they should be going for you. I believe you should be who you want to be with no limets no who or how or what you should be.

An ideal world would be when all people get along and do not argue. An ideal life would be better if the government was less controlling and be better money managers. An ideal world to me is when people care more about each other instead of how much the take home in a paycheck or how they look. I can see how somebody could walk away from everything to explore freedom and live life as it comes. I can see why you might want to walk away from life so you don't have to live life by others expectations of you. This could make you take drastic measures.

Mr. Kay sorry i didn't post my blog earlier but I havn't been feeling good all day.
In my ideal world there would be no disagreements over anything. Everyone would get along and there would be no war. Also in my ideal world, money wouldn't be important. I think that everyone should be able to have what they want. My ideal world is impossible though. People, and countries will always have problems with eachother, no matter what we do there will always be a war going on as well. Money will always decide who you are and whether or not you get what you want. Also not everyone will be equal. There will always be the rich and the poor. All we can do is dream about an ideal world. But it will never happen.
Mr.Kay,
Everyone has there own opinions on there ideal world. In my ideal world Everyone would be treated equally. I only stated this one thing because I think that it sums everything up. In Chris McClandles world the book says that he had a good education, lived in a great area, and was a great athlete. I think that anyone would leave a life like that because maybe they feel that they just want to live indepedently. Also because Chris, Being so respected as he was, could have been tired and just wanted people to know that he's not perfect. I think that everyone wants to show the world what they can do, instead of everything beind handed to them.

Mr. Kay,
My ideal world consists of a couple important things. My ideal world would be if I could just go through a day without people being mean to eachj other or no stereotypes and all that stuff. Everything would be easy. People make fun of each other and steryotype each other because its something to do but its sick. If there was no more making fun or critisizing in the world, it would be a much happier place. You wouldnt need to care about almost anything because you dont need to worry about what others think of you or anything. I can sort of understand Chris just leaving to get away. To me, it seems like a sort of smart choice to leave and start a new life. If you really feel so bad that you need to get away from something, then why not do it and live more care free. It was dumb he went to a wild place, but he had a good point.
