How does watching the film version of Into the Wild change or deepen your understanding of Chris McCandless compared to reading the book? In your response, explain one key difference in how his character or experiences are presented, and connect this to a time when seeing something visually changed your understanding of a situation.

 The movie helps me see McCandless from a more grounded perspective. The movie makes Chris's actions seem more bizarre compared to just reading about them. It causes the audience to feel more concerned based off of his actions.

Summary: Today we watched the film.

Reflection: I saw Chris in a new light.
