Into the wild - dissertation
Posted: Sun May 08, 2011 3:12 pm
Hello!
This is my first day on that board and I hope it is okay that I opened a new topic for the following:
At school we have to write an exam (in german it's called "Komplexe Leistung").
It is something we have to write in one year and you can call it a small dissertation.
We can choose the topic by ourselves.
The story of Chris McCandless and the book "Into the wild" really captured me a long time ago and I was fascinated by this man and every other thing that was similar or related to it.
So I chose that Topic. But I don't want to write only about Into the wild, but also about other stories and compare them. I thought about "A vagabond for beauty" and to reading some Tolstoi.
All in all I want to write about the dreams and the fascination of young men, who go out into the wild to find the true meaning...
I wanted to ask you, what do you think which book would be the best for me to read next and to include in my work?
I would appreciate any help.
