Excerpt from "Into the Wild" by John Krakauer

            A significant moment in the book, "Into the Wild" is when he discovers that the river he had crossed over was now much larger, meaning he had to wait until winter, when it would be frozen over. "In his journal he now wrote, "Disaster. ... Rained in. River look impossible. Lonely, scared." Chris McCandless  was planning to return to his home in Maryland, but the creek he crossed in April was now a fierce, raging river. He had no choice but to return to his camp and wait for the upcoming winter. In the end this proved fatal, unfortunately. He could be leading a normal life this very day, but the river would have washed him away.

Reflecting on my 2nd book

I am currently reading a book by Ray Bradbury called Fahrenheit 451. This takes place sometime in the future, a time where firemen start fires, not stop them. They start fires to destroy books, and the things that hide them. It is a time in humanity where people do not think, they do not read, they just do. The main character is a fireman him self, by the name of Guy Montag. He has never questioned his job, until he had met this eccentric seventeen year old girl. He probably might try to change the world, judging based on his mentality.
