Choose one of the following
activities to complete on these two readings.
More than one activity, of course, will count as extra credit.
1) Write your own essay on “Where I Lived and
What I Lived For”
--either
as you and your life are right now, or what would be ideal for you. This will
be an essay on what your philosophy of life is.
At
least 400 words, but no upper limit.
2)
Discuss Chris Mccandless’ choice to leave his comfortable, upper-class
lifestyle, hitchhike across the country and “into the wild.” I don’t want a
summary of the movie, but a commentary on what he did and why.
400
words, but no upper limit.
3)
Write a play with any of the characters we’ve learned about or ones who are
influential to you. Have them discuss the meaning of life. Perform this for
extra credit. 400 words but no upper limit.
4)
Personal Credo: Create some sort of
artistic collage that helps describe who you are and what your basic values and
beliefs are. Be sure to explain each thing and why it is important to you. Make
sure that these explanations aren’t simply “I like doing this,” but making it
clear how this value or belief is a strong part of who you are.
I
will be grading this on quality of artwork, so if you aren’t good at artistic
projects, don’t pick this one. You may have to complete this at home.
