Think about a moment when your understanding of your family changed as you got older. How did that shift impact your perspective, and how does that connect to Chris’s realization about his parents in Chapter 11?

Prompt Response:
A moment that my understanding of my family changed was when my aunt divorced my previous uncle. My family revealed to me later when I was older that my old uncle had actually really disliked our family and did not want to be a part of it. This connects to Chris's realization because, like Chris, I had no idea this was happening.
Summary:
Today we read chapter 11 of Into the Wild, we then answered questions on the chapter and wrote about what our family is like.
Reflection:
I learned a lot about what McCandless's early life was like.

Summary: Today we finished up reading our story and finished the writable questions. Reflection: I learned about the symbolism in the story "the life you save may be your own".
