 The movie makes Chris’s story feel more personal by showing his emotions and the beautiful scenery instead of just listing facts. While the book reads like a reporter’s investigation, the film uses music and wide shots to show how much he loved nature. This visual scale made me realize how small and alone he truly was, just like how seeing a massive ocean in person feels much more powerful than looking at a map. Watching his physical struggle on screen turned a sad story into a lesson about how dangerous the wild can be. Today we watched the movie and answer questions about it. I learn how to watch movies and answer the question based on it.

 A relationship I have where I feel truly is my relationship with my girlfriend. I feel like I can be myself around her and don't have to put an act on to fit in even if I am different then what people assume me to be. I believe our relationship became very strong because we were friends for a while before and grew on to each other because we never felt we had to impress each other or try to be cooler and could just be our self. This relationship relates to Chris and Carine relationship by both relationship showing no matter what's in their way or whatever influence them they both are very close and don't change or act a way they are not. Today we read chapter 12 and did questions on it I learn about chapter 12 and how to use that information to answer the questions.

 Starting in 7th grade I had a very big friend group and had many friends, As the time started to go the friend group became smaller and it was just me and 3 of my friends left. It showed me to have fun and value time while it there because a lot of things are tend to change. People change overtime like what they like to do or what they prefer and that can always split groups from big groups to smaller groups. I was not at school I was not at school

 The movie makes Chris’s choices feel more justified because the beautiful scenery and music make his trip look like a brave adventure. In the book, the writing is more like a news report, which makes it easier to see his many mistakes and lack of supplies. The film uses close-up shots of his face to show his passion, helping us feel his emotions instead of judging his logic. Overall, seeing the journey on screen turns his dangerous risks into a beautiful story of seeking freedom. Today I learn to answer question while watching movie and learning by book too We watched a couple of scenes from the movie.

 As I got older, I realized my parents weren't the perfect superheroes I imagined, but just regular people trying to figure life out as they went. This shift made me feel more independent, yet it also created a sense of disappointment that the "perfect" world of my childhood was actually flawed. In Chapter 11, Chris McCandless experiences a much darker version of this when he discovers his father's secret past and previous family. While I eventually learned to accept my parents' humanity, Chris viewed his father’s mistakes as a moral betrayal, causing him to reject his family entirely to search for his own truth. I was doing make up today so I had to take the test I learn about using the book to answer questions on the test

Of the first ten chapters, Chapter 4 stands out because it shows Chris McCandless leaving his old life behind. After a flood ruins his car, he chooses to burn his money and walk away instead of asking for help. This part of the book is meaningful because it shows his deep desire to be totally free from society and his past. By calling himself "Alexander Supertramp" in his journal, he proves he was ready to risk everything for his beliefs. I was not at school for Eid I was not at school for Eid

 At this stage in my life, I mostly define success by maintaining a high GPA and receiving an acceptance letter from my top-choice college. These ideas primarily come from the competitive environment at school and the standards set by my parents and counselor. While I value hard work, I sometimes feel this definition is more of a reflection of societal expectations and the pressure to secure a stable future. However, I am starting to realize that true success might actually be found in the personal freedom and experiences I gain outside of a classroom or a scorecard. Today we read chapter 9 and 10 and did some worksheet for the chapter which involves critical thinking  I learn a lot about open ended questions and learn a lot about the chapter.

 A time where I chose independence is when I left my travel team to join a different one and leave everyone I knew on that team to a place where no one knew me but I was given a bigger opportunity to play against older kids. I made the more independent decision what was also the bigger risk that gave me a great reward. If I was placed in the situation again I would a 100 percent do the same and would not regret it one bit. Today we created open ended question for chapter 8 of the book I learn how to construct my own open ended question

 Timorous: The word relates a lot to my personality, I feel sometimes I am very timid especially in crowds where I do not know anybody. When I was younger I was always very shy when it came to introducing myself to new people. So this word really reminds me of myself when I was younger and connects me to the words a lot. I remember my mom always trying to get me involved in the crowd and I was always to scared to speak. Today we just did the vocab lesson 10 exercises I learn new vocabulary words and how to use them.

 The time usually does affect me in the beginning, I tend to be super tired and end up sleeping quite late without even knowing. I really enjoy how it still bright outside because I get to play more basketball and the sun goes down later.  I think when the sun is out longer I also am more active throughout the day as well. I am also in the month of Ramadan so now I eat later and in the day because of the sun going down later.

 I don't have any specific of that category, but I do have a movie that has impacted a lot. The move Hustle  had help my mindset improve greatly. It is a movie about basketball and about how someone from struggle has made it all the way to the NBA. It was a really strong message that showed me hard work can truly bring you as far as you desire.  I learn about chapter 5 of the book were reading and also using reading comprehension. Today we read about chapter 5 and answer questions about it.

 A time where I need time to myself is when I lost my Grandma. She was a very big figure in my life and when losing her I need time to myself so I can figure my identity again. I needed to gain perspective from myself to find a motive to keep pushing after such a severe step back. That experience taught me a lot that you do not always have to express yourself and it's okay to keep stuff to yourself. Also in severe step backs there is always a light no matter how far it seem it is always reachable and able to get to. Today we read chapter 2 and 3 and answer questions about quotes in the book I learn how to justify my answer when it comes to no wrong answers you can always get it right if you can prove it with reasoning.

 I believe he knew somewhat of the big risk he was taking, but also was very confident in what he was doing. We see he sacrifice a lot to go on this hike and did not try to take the easy way at all. He was offer easier way but did not want to take it. I also believe he may have not knew as well because the journey was a long way and maybe he did not take in mind how long it would be and the specific risk It would take. Today we read the story and learn about author and the background of story I learned all about the history and the background about the book before reading chapter 1

 The vocabulary word that was easiest to use was frenetic it had a easy definition and was really easy to use to fill in all the information. The hardest vocabulary word to use was pervasive. I would say this because it took me a second to figure out the definition and how to use it. Selecting images and creating sentence helped a lot with my understanding because if I use it and use my head to figure these things out I know more of the definition and what I am looking for it, it more so glues it in my head. When I used bumpkin I struggle to find a photo which would relate, but after some help I was able to and it help me understand not to just use the word but to also search stuff about it to get an example. Today we worked on our vocabulary and made a slide for each word to help us memorize word I learn more vocabulary words and techniques I can use to help glue them in my head
