After reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild, consider your first impression of Christopher McCandless. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, do you believe McCandless truly understood the risks he was taking when he entered the Alaskan wilderness? Why or why not?

      I learned a lot about "Into the Wild." I have never really read like this before so I am very excited too. Thinking about the supplies you would need to pull off an expedition like this is masses, and for him to not have any of this and survive for four years is insane. I am excited to read the book, and unravel the mystery of his life. We did background information of reading "Into the Wild." We learned about how fast a bear can run, and other hiking tips.

Today you worked on creating your Vocabulary Digital Cards in Adobe Express. In one well-developed paragraph, reflect on the assignment by explaining which vocabulary word was easiest for you to understand, which word was most challenging, and how creating your own sentence and selecting an image helped strengthen your understanding of the vocabulary. Use specific examples from your work.

      When creating the vocabulary cards in Adobe Express I was challenged by the word " Corroborate" since I have never heard it. The example and definition really did not help much either. The easiest word was "Benign" since I have heard it many times and already had a good understanding of it. I did have a hard time finding an image for "Blithe." This word was hard to put into the image because of it being an adjective that I couldn't find a good image for. We worked on vocabulary. I learned the word "Corroborate," and how to use it.
