    1. For what, he doesn't know anymore
    2. too.

      The way this article makes you question your own existence and religion is amazing. One of the most powerful parts is the fact that the author, Michael Paterniti wrote in such a way to inspire such a story from what others might say is a bum. Some might even think of him lesser then that. What I hope to accomplish with my argument is to use this story to support the idea that articles that became movies should have a lesson to teach, or a moving story for its audience.

    3. dilemma as a question of faith

      This also seems to poke at the possible answer to another big question: what is the point of human existence?

    4. palpably

      Means simple or perceived.

    5. ertion

      I don't believe that this word has a definition, but that it was meant to be a feeling or emotion.

    6. transparently full of emotion

      This part gives insight to the meaning of the story.

    1. "You should have gone with me."

      The simplicity of the article works well with my idea for it. I believe that because of the interest the article holds, I should be able to argue that articles that became movies do not need to teach a lesson of some sort. That the article should pique the reader/ audience with something they do not quite know yet.

    1. I believe this article houses a beautiful story. Sadly it is only part of the grand scheme of things, I would love to include this in my paper, but I don't think it will work.

    1. God.

      In this article, there are many life lessons and great feats, which everyone should know. It is also a sad tale that people should consider happened nearly 20 years ago, creating a different thought about some of the different teachings. I hope to use this article to prove the idea that movies that are derived from articles should should teach something great to its audience.

    2. If he had known about it, crossing the Teklanika to safety would have been little more than a casual task

      Probably the saddest part of the entire story. If only, then again, what has happened has taught me so much. If only...

    3. McCandless viewed running as an intensely spiritual exercise akin to meditation. "Chris would use the spiritual aspect to try to motivate us," recalls Eric Hathaway, another friend on the team. "He'd tell us to think about all the evil in the world, all the hatred, and imagine ourselves running against the forces of darkness, the evil wall that was trying to keep us from running our best. He believed doing well was all mental, a simple matter of harnessing whatever energy was available. As impressionable high school kids, we were blown away by that kind of talk."

      This hits me in the heart. I know what he talks about, yet I was also given insight at the same time.

    4. That's a very different thing from wanting to die.

      I think this is a great lesson that everyone should learn.

    5. I now walk into the wild

      This seems to be the turning point in the story. We see somewhat of who he is, and what led him to where he is now. It seems we will see the eventual outcome soon.

    6. Phi Beta Kappa

      This is a society high in stature in liberal arts.

    7. Chris McCandless had been dead for some two and a half weeks.

      This feels like it should have more impact, but it doesn't. So this makes me feel like its only part of a larger tale.

    8. He particularly admired the fact that the great novelist had forsaken a life of wealth and privilege to wander among the destitute

      This seems to be his goal for life.

    9. Death of an Innocent
    1. A few hours later, Studio Six Productions got its first and last call on the secret third line. Startled, Andi picked up the phone. “It’s over,” an unidentified voice said. “They made it out.”

      Throughout the article readers are reminded of how important each human life is. Each person in the story did their part in the eventual outcome. With this in mind I hope to use that as a way to prov my paper of articles that become movies should have a moving story, or a lesson to be taught.

    2. Plausibility, as they say in the espionage business, was good.

      This paper gives a good insight to what a spy actually does. They risk their lives for small amounts of information. Instead of walking in front of an explosion at the end of a movie.

    3. Mendez had spent 14 years in the CIA’s Office of Technical Service — the part of the spy shop known for trying to plant explosives in Fidel’s cigars and wiring cats with microphones for eavesdropping

      If that was what the CIA did in the 70's, imagine what they are doing at this moment? Just a question for the masses.

    4. .

      The author Broke up the story well by putting this picture in the right place.

    5. The Americans destroyed the plates used to make visa stamps, organized an evacuation plan, and ushered everyone to the back door.

      This part shows that these people are not stupid or worthless, they knew what they were doing and making smart decisions along the way.

    6. November 4, 1979

      I'ts crazy how long ago this happened

    7. Argo

    1. left pinkie was long and sharp, but the rest were neatly clipped

      I looked up why some people keep their nail long. One of the largest reasons is if they do coke. Just a brief assumption

    2. called electric tubes

      Image Description

    3. cacophony

      The author becomes very descriptive here, I think the reason for this is to gain a visual of just how diverse airports are on a daily basis

    4. frenetic opposite of Alfred

      This part made me stop and think about just who Sir Alfred is. It was almost like a point where you shouldn't pass until you know what it said
