Based on the first 40 minutes of the film and Chapters 1–11 of the book, does the visual version of Chris’s journey make his choices seem more justified or more reckless than the text does? Explain how the medium (film vs writing) shapes your perspective.

 The visual version make Christopher McCandless seem more reckless because he still went into Alaska unprepared. The visual version shows this as it shows Christopher McCandless with little equipment. He still is very reckless in the film due to that. The film versus the writing shapes my perspective on Christopher McCandless as a reckless person as both book and film show Christopher McCandless being unprepared while coming to the Alaskan wilderness. This is why I think Christopher McCandless is reckless in the book and the film.

I wanted complete independence on what time I go to sleep but I could not go sleep at my desired time as my family said I had to go to sleep at 9pm.
