Based on the first 40 minutes of the film and Chapters 1–11 of the book, does the visual version of Chris’s journey make his choices seem more justified or more reckless than the text does? Explain how the medium (film vs writing) shapes your perspective.

 Prompt: I think the film makes Chris out to be more reckless than he is. He seems more spontaneous due to that fact that the film spans around a couple hours. This makes it seem like is bouncing from place to place rather than settling in certain places for a little while.
