I am almost done with the book, Into The Wild. I really like the book, but it is also very touching and sad. The book has a different type of impact on me than many other books due to it being a true story about a real person. It's not some fiction hero, it's about a real guy, who had sort of a tragic accident.

I have noticed as I read this book the comments some people have said about the guy, Alex. People call him stupid, ignorant. They say he deserved what he got. I don't really see how people can say that when they are talking about another human being. It's monstrous if you ask me, that people can criticise someone like that, when they don't even know the whole story.

One reason not many people have been able to piece together the whole situation with how Alex died and who he was and stuff is because he was a really complicated person. I know, all people are complicated, so I guess that Alex wasn't actually any more complicated than many other people. But not many people understood him well, like really understood him. So through our eyes, he was a very complicated person.

All in all, I have respect for this guy, because he went out and did what he wanted to do, he followed his heart. Not a lot of people do that to the full extent like he did. Even though he died doing it, atleast it was what he wanted to be doing.

Bloggy

I am in the process of reading the book “into the wild.” At first I thought that I wouldn’t really like it, because I figured it would be just another fiction boy gets lost in woods book. But I soon found out that it was actually non-fiction, and a very interesting, touching story about a young man who has a very unique, and pretty interesting view of the world and how people live their lives.

I have found that I really like books where the character/person has a new and sort of unique way of looking at things. The book “catcher in the rye” is a good example of this. I know a lot of people who don’t like it, but I think it is a really good book. I think that this is why I like “into the wild” so much. By looking through the eyes of the character I get to see the world from another point of view.

At first I didn’t think that I would like this book, but now, about half way through the book, I have found that it is actually quite a rich book, and that I really like the book a lot.

Ever Lost

I just started reading a series that I found, Everlost. I do not remember the author right now, and I am feeling too lazy to get the book out to see who the author is, so I'll just add the authors name in another time.

Anyway, back to the book. Everlost is a really good book, and I really like it. I think that in a way it reminds me of harry potter. The books are very different in almost every way. The writing styles, plots, and characters are not really similar at all. But there is one thing that I find similar between them. Both authors created an entire set of their own rules of gravity, physics, and recreated the world for their books. Both in a different way.

The whole, creating a new world thing in this book sort of just makes it creepier than it already is. The book is a bit weird, and I get the idea that who ever wrote it is a very unique guy, or girl. But behind all the weird characters, and crazy story lines, there's actually some important messages that I am getting from the book.

Reading this book I realized something. I may have a lot of problems in my life. And I may do a lot of stupid things without thinking too much about it. And I may take a lot of risks, without thinking of what I am going to do if I mess up. But this book has made me come to realize something. Even with all of that, I'm still lucky. The way that this book made me realize this is, well, all the kids in this book are all dead, so right there I am already a whole lot better off than them. Just thinking about that made me think that I should stopping bitchin' about my problems, and beating myself up for small mistakes, and just enjoy life as it comes at me.
