Jan. 23rd Class Summary

Today in class we worked in our reading groups and answered discussion questions. One group member's paper was chosen at random to turn in for the group.

Over the weekend your homework is to read chapter 4. There will be a pop quiz on Tuesday. On Monday you will all be sent to begin choosing classes for next year. Lucky.

Being that you are checking the blog right now....the pop quiz is no longer a surprise. And guess what? The quiz questions are listed below. Be ready to write about the following questions in detail. Also, these may not be the exact questions and they may not be the only questions. Either way, make sure you are prepared.

1. What happened with McCandless's Datsun? Why did he give it up and what had become of it later on? What mistake did he make with the car?


2. What Henry David Thoreau essay is mentioned in this chapter? How did the reference specifically relate to the reading in chapter 4?


3. Explain the ups and downs of McCandless's canoe adventure through Mexico and California. What did he set out to accomplish? Did he accomplish his goal?
