Blindness In Jon Krakauer's Fearless

686 Words3 Pages

In the book Fearless, there is a man named Adam. He was known as the good guy. He did everything like he was supposed to and was always caring towards others. He was truly fearless when he did anything. He did not back down from any challenges. He was a very determined person. The author says, “He didn’t have a ‘fear bone’ in his body.” And they were right. He would do anything someone asked him to do, no matter the consequences. During high school, Adam joined the football team and tried to fit-in as much as he could. Even though he was the smallest one on the team, he was very strong for his size. Because he was so little compared to everyone else, he got bullied a lot more than others. His brother, Shawn, wouldn’t let anyone bully him

    Component 1: Writing Analysis Growth Narrative Throughout the semester growth can be seen in my writing from the Into the Wild prep work that demonstrates my starting point to the final Into the Wild Essay that demonstrates my improvement. The prep work was one of the very first assignments of the year and I particularly struggled within the section “Reasoning” and more specifically, “building my language through cause and effect language.” After writing this assignment, I wanted to focus on building a more articulate analysis through my reasoning by using “if/then” statements.
