into the wild. Turns out he didn't want anything.

When he was receiving his graduation certificate, he jumped from the podium, and he seemed to be just a child. The youthful face and the gold-colored hair shining in the sun seemed to make people smell the sweetness in the air. He is a blond boy with that kind of logo, his eyes are clear, covering his loneliness. Really, in his eyes, I can't see loneliness, nor can I see the longing for the distance, even though he keeps walking. I'm not criticizing the selection of movie characters, but when reading the book adapted from the movie, you will really feel the kind of complete loneliness.
Ten years ago, San Mao was walking in the Sahara Desert. The crying camel, she said, she didn't know what was in the distance, she just kept feeling such a strong call. Go to a far place, go to a far place, and continue to embark on a journey. I never believed that the relationship between her and Jose was what she described. Women are both good at fantasy and accustomed to comparison. No woman likes to show her unhappy wounds in front of others. But San Mao's walk is not the same as the male protagonist here. She is too incomplete, and a little too illusory.
The hero is just a young man in his early twenties. According to the background of the story, what hurt him the most was the love relationship between his parents. His father had a wife before, and he never divorced another woman. This also caused the protagonist and sister's "illegitimate child" dilemma. Maybe it's because I don't have similar experience. I always feel that this kind of predicament is his own. Life could have been easier. In fact, I was just talking coldly. We can't convince ourselves of many things. That's it.
After graduating, he used the summer vacation time to successfully get out of the sight of his relatives and friends. He abandoned his car, burned all the bills, walked alone, and kept walking. The owner of the granary, the two middle-aged people on the road, the couple who appreciate the nature by the river, the 16-year-old girl with a sweet voice that happened by chance, the old man who wanted to adopt him, and the one who was always looking forward to at home His younger sister, father and mother have become veritable passers-by in his life. Encountered, separated; meeting again is a surprise, and there is no sadness not seeing each other again. I have let go, is there anything else I can't let go of?
The ancient Chinese always put forward the WTO or the entry into the WTO, but there are still some sleek formulations. Too much attention to their own gains and losses is not necessarily a good thing. A teenage American high school girl on TV said a few days ago, "I think everything in nature is equal, and there is no reason for human beings to feel that they are higher than them." This sentence made me a little emotional. If the Maya predicted the end of the world in 2012, if it really happened, I wouldn't be surprised that mankind has done too much to this world.
It's okay to do what I'm sorry for nature, this kind of process does not give us enough space, we still imprison ourselves. So the protagonist wants to find freedom and reality in nature. The snow-capped mountains, the breeze in the forest, the vastness of the desert, and the power of the current. He said that in many cases, what we need is not to be strong, but to feel strong. Walking alone, without knowing the next step and not panicking, this is the real high state.
He said, I don't want anything. But when the rice was in a hurry, when the animals in the forest were gone, when Chun Shui broke his bridge, when the huge bear walked over his skinny body, would he still say he didn't want anything? Everyone is a child, self-willed, self-seeking. Teacher Yu said that you don't need to be too individual; however, if I remove that part of the character, am I still me? Therefore, serious people will stick to it, and will be lonely if they stick to it. Therefore, in order not to experience this pain all the time, some people choose to leave, and some choose to leave completely. Loneliness can kill people.
Fortunately, he also has a younger sister who can experience his thoughts to some extent, although there are hesitations and incompleteness in this experience, at least he is not fighting alone. Sometimes he still wondered what would happen to him on his next journey if he had made that phone call and if Chun Shui hadn't overwhelmed the bridge. Keep walking, and then have a different story? Or as he promised, go to that old man, that girl?
on the way. Walking into the wilderness, he finally waited for spring, but he couldn't get out of it. The final struggle of the biological organism is horrible. His father's reluctant cry to the ground still made me cry. Although I saw the light of the angel in his eyes, even though he no longer called himself "superstramper" in the end... it was
nothing more than a choice, who knows right or wrong? If you choose, you are responsible for it yourself; just, please give me the truth.
