Chris Mccandless Materialism

After he made it into his journey he set out to find out the desire of belonging. Although, many people criticized chris for not informing his parents of his plan, but it is understandable why he didn't. His parents wouldn't have allowed him to go on a perilous journey, but even if they had they would have made him take the material essentials, which he was trying to get away from.

If they had given discipline to him he wouldn't do the stuff he did like steal their car and sneaking out. If they had given discipline there would had been consequence like being grounded or not giving him any cash for his needs. He may learn next time not to do it again because everybody doesn't like being discipline for all their bad action. I feel like majority of the blame goes to the parent because he was doing all this to seek attention from them which he never receive. It sounded like the parents didn't even care about him and his older sister because they are the one that raised themselves.

The first example is when Gatsby came back home and bought a house on the bay right next to Daisy. Gatsby just came back to town, decided to spend his money to impress Daisy . My second example is when Daisy went to Gatsby's house and saw all the expensive clothes and materialistic objects. Daisy ended up crying because they were so beautiful and Gatsby’s plan worked, Daisy said “It makes me sad because I've never seen such-such beautiful shirts before”(Fitzgerald 115). This quote supports it because Gatsby attracted Daisy by his expensive clothes which Daisy never seen before.

There is no evidence of a crack or shatter in the memory. It is evident throughout the movie that Leonard does not experience any difficulties when it comes to remembering his past. When he, repeatedly, introduces himself as “Leonard Shelby from San Francisco”, it shows that he remembers the past clearly. His past identity is all he remembers and Teddy clarifies this, only for him to forget it moments later, by stating “That’s who you were, not who you’ve

Don’t shoot him!” “Stay out of this, Murray,” [Will] said. Even though throughout the book Murray hated Sid, he decided to brave at the right moment and save his life whether he deserved it or not. Murray knew what was right and stopped his older brother from killing his arch nemesis. When Mr Barrett wanted Murray to shoot Paddy he knew he was disobeying his father. “[Murray] knew [his] father was looking at [him] but [he] refused to look up” Murray was brave but also cowardly in his own way.

George is the only one that treats Lennie like a person all the time. He even treats him with the respect and care he deserves even before he loses him forever. George calmly talks Lennie and tell him, “No, Lennie. I ain’t never been mad, an’ I ain’t now. That’s the thing I want ya to know (106)”.

The reason I think a policy is necessary is because without it the clients can bribe the sales people so they will cut prices to keep business.

Edward Leedskalnin change a lot of people minds in his foreign country, too be who you are and don’t let anyone stop you, you can do anything.

Lennie never meant any harm is what he was doing. He was a good guy. He could work like no other and never complained either. It was really sad the way he had to go and I wish I didn’t have to do what I did but, it was for his own good. He was a danger to himself and everyone around.
