Compairing Other Books

Our summer reading book, "Into The Wild," could have been considered a travel diary. "Into The Wild" was a detailed summary of Chris's life, and his journey from boyhood to adulthood. What stuck out in that book was the emotions and thoughts were detailed and able to be felt. It was as if I was on the journey alongside the main character. The style was inviting and louring, descriptive, and creative. I expect that "The Motorcycle Diaries" will be similar in style and the idea of "search for self" in terms of the main characters struggle. Although, it will be different because the main characters seem to have a much different journey and motivation for travel. In comparison to the two other books that we have read we will not be looking for a deeper meaning or symbolism. Instead, we will be reading about a bigger picture that will be a one-sided perspective.
