English—3rd
Formal Essay —McFarland—Spring—2015
For this essay you
will be looking at Chris McCandless and our book Into The Wild in order to generate a discussion about Chris’
actions that he takes through the course of his short life. The following questions
are intended to offer some guidance to you as you build your paper. You do
not need to answer all of them. Remember that paragraph topic sentences
should start with concepts—concepts that will be taken from your sophisticated
and full answers to the questions.
Why does it seem that Chris turns his back on
his family?
Is Chris justified in doing this? Why or why
not?
Is it ever justified to turn your back on
your family? Why or why not?
Is there any value in disconnecting from
family (and friends for that matter)?
What does Chris turn towards—that is, what
becomes important to him?
Does it matter what you turn towards
if you turn your back on family or friends?
What does it mean to “waste your life”?
What role does time alone play in living a
“good life.”
What does it mean to live a “good life”?
If you lead what you think is a good life,
but other people are hurt by your choices, can you still say you have lead a
good life?
What is your opinion of how Chris lived his
life?
In order to support
your points, you need to use the ideas found in the book, the movie, and in any
other handouts, books, etc. that we have access to.
You must average 1-2 quotes
per paragragh
Quote length in a
paper of this length should be no more than 1-2 lines.
The essay’s page
minimum is 6 full pages…(BNDJTM…)
Be careful that you
don’t simply retell the novel. Use the episodes to SUPPORT the analytic points
you want to make. Paragraph topic sentences should not start with plot types of
phrases, but rather with concepts. Paragraph topic sentences should also
feature KEYWORDS, which are taken from the essay assignment questions.
What are the Keywords/keyword
phrases?
