I like my paper about the epigraphs from into the wild. I feel that this paper has the best supporting arguments and the epigraphs really help to support my claims. I also feel that this paper has the best flow of the papers I have written although it could be better. While I like this paper, it could be better. As I mentioned before the flow could always be better and the word choice could use some improvements to make the paper sound better overall.

The epilogue in the end of the book helped wrap up a good sense of closure. The end of the book helped to justify Chris's death in that it was merely an accident as opposed to him being an ignorant and careless kid that just wanted to get away from everybody. The end of the book changes your opinion on Chris for the better and gives his tale a much deeper understandable meaning and the fact that he survived as long as he did is much more honorable than before.

The Film Metropolis is my primary source for my paper and I chose it because it was the best source that displayed what I was trying to convey. I think the audience will be very interested to read about it because they may have never thought about it before. The audience should realize where such an import aspect of society was being displayed cinematically for the very first time and establishing history.

For my paper I am doing the 1927 movie metropolis. I chose this movie because how we perceive the future is very important to the cinematic world. This movie was the first movie to ever try and portray the future and it still stands as the foundation on which futuristic sci-fi future movies are made. From the buildings to the way the future looks they all seem to follow the same build as metropolis created when it first debut. The reason this is important today is at it still manages to effect the view on which we have in the future even though the film is almost a century old. It's very important to society as the way we perceive the future is very important.

It's much better for a writer to delve into depth when trying to create a visual image for the intended reader. By doing this it allows the reader to connect with the author and visually understand what the writer was trying to convey in describing something. As mentioned in the text they talked about mentioning what a "house" looked like and the generic form anyone could think it looks like. As opposed to someone trying to talk about how eerie a haunted house is and describing the creepiness of the house.

As for something in my room to talk about... I will pick my desk.

Reflective chrome gleams from the underlying hidden skeletal structure. The subtle yet intricate glass glimmers in the light, making it known that it is there. The dark rich wood trim is merely an accent here and there to keep your eyes busy. Nestled in the corner occupying two walls as it stands out triumphantly in the shape of an "L." This, is where all the academic magic happens.

It's the difference between "talking the talk and walking the walk" while his heroes may have mentioned that they went out and did all these crazy things, they survived. Where you can't really measure this of how physically or mentally enduring their trip was it still goes to show Chris's dedication to his dreams. For Chris to think so highly of them and to follow in their footsteps is and was a horrible idea as he really didn't know what he was getting himself into and these authors made the adventures they went on sound amazing/fun and a lifetime experience.

I feel that Chris's family problems certainly fueled his desire to go far far away. While most kids that have issues with thier parents simply avoid them he seemed to be more socially engaged with his. His parents were supportive and cared about him deeply so it's wierd to wonder why he disliked them so much. I think personally that Chris was just a social outcast but only because of himself. He liked it this way and wanted to stay this way and not depend on society for more than he'd have to. While it is crazy that he would do something like this and go out on his own, he justified this with himself in any way he needed to. And the fuel for his fire was his own parents.
