Discuss how Krakauer portrays the story of Christopher McCandless Into The Wild. Evaluate the author′s use of writing techniques and rhetorical strategies (compare and contrast, narration, empirical evidence, pathos/emotion, ethos/character, logos/logic, etc). Include an analysis of how Penn′s film represents McCandless in comparison to Krakauer′s book. Focus on the techniques used in the film (cinematography, soundtrack, character, tone). You must include direct evidence (quotes) to support your analysis. For the essay you may use the lyrics from the soundtrack and Krakauer′s book. You may also use a dictionary. Keep in mind that your essay must be guided by your analysis of the book. Your discussion of the film must compliment your analysis of the book, and not the other way around. Your 750-word essay must be analytical and should use a formal, academic tone. Your essay should be free of grammatical and spelling errors. Follow MLA guidelines for format and citation style.
