Blog #27: Nature Writing

Into the Wild

Choose two of the following:

1. Do you feel, as one letter writer did, that there is “nothing positive at all about Chris McCandless’ lifestyle or wilderness doctrine …surviving a near death experience does not make you a better human it makes you damn lucky” (116); or do you see something admirable or noble in his struggles and adventures?

everyone who wrote a letter to the author, critiquing Chris' adventures and actions, were enrage that someone would follow their dreams. We all have dreams when we are young, dreams of exploring the world and living crazy adventures. then when we grow old and our dreams seem ridiculous. for some reason we stop following our dreams, we settle down with what society wants us to do. ----"Quote from book where Chris rejects society, and society is involve"---.

Blog #26: Professional Exhibition? Contest?

1. Post a link to the contest

2. Summarize the basic requirements including entry fees, contest deadlines, permission forms, file sizes, and other requirements.

3. Evaluate your work against their requirements. Will your work be accepted?

If you are having a professional organization exhibit your work:

1. Post a link to the organization.

2. Post contact information for a member of that organization that is assisting in the exhibition of your work.

3. Post the date & place of the professional exhibition.

4. Post any requirements they have & evaluate your progress towards meeting them.
