How does this quote apply to Alexander Supertramp?

  3. Mon. 4/8 Ch. 8, 9, 10 Reading chapters 8-10: The Outcasts Discuss, citing text evidence: 1. What is the function of these chapters? What is their relationship to the rest of the text? 2. Why did Krakauer interrupt the McCandless story with chapters 8 and 9? 3. Were you surprised that McCandless left trails so that the authorities could find out who he was?

  4. Mon. 4/8 Guys Like Chris: Ch. 8-9 Create a TREE MAP for the following characters, making sure to explain each of their stories in the map. Gene Rosellini(pages 73-75) John Mallon Waterman (pages 75-80) Carl McCunn(pages 80-85) Everett Reuss(Ch. 9) In the FRAME OF REFERENCE under each character, explain how his journey relates to McCandless’s.

  5. Tues. 4/9 Krakauer’s Article Read Krakauer’s article from Outside Magazine. Write a letter to the author of the article. Review the beginning of chapter 8 to see what other people had to say to Krakauer after his article was published. Write your letter with your immediate reaction to the article; it can be positive or negative depending on your feelings. Give your true opinion and be ready to defend it in front of the class. Text evidence always makes for a stronger argument! Your letter must be a minimum of 200 words.

  6. Thurs. 4/11 WARM-Up Part 1: On your own Krakauer quotes Alaskans who had opinions about McCandless and his death at the beginning of Chapter 8. Discuss: Why does Krakauer cite these letters? What does it add to the text? Does it subtract from it? Choose one of these letters and respond to it, explaining the degree to which you agree or disagree. Kraukauer inserts himself in the story in chapter 8. Does this give him more credibility? Is it annoying?
