    No, I completely understand, but teachers can't please everyone, right?

    no they can't and to try and do that would be too stressful to even think about. :eek: obviously it's more fun to write about something you want :) but some people can't think of anything to write about to save their lives and it can stress them out.

    Enjoy the movie!

    well they better! ;)

    maybe I'll just wait until they release it on DVD and just watch it for free. :D (perks of working in a movie rental store.)

    I´ve read a few times here that this movie works best on a big screen so you probably should see it in the theatre first and watch the dvd for free later!

    Besides..... you probably can´t wait till it comes out on dvd anyway! :p

    well, I guess all movies work best on the big screen. ;)

    but you're right, I probably couldn't wait THAT long. :D

    This is so true. In all seriousness, DroptheLeash10, knowing how to communicate clearly is a huge advantage, not just to pass a class, but in life. We can just look at the impact of the lyrics of the Pearl Jam songs that have moved and inspired us, to see the power of well-crafted words.

    And, btw in college, writing multiple 15-page papers and reading a couple books in one week is common. Wish I had gotten more good writing instruction and practice in high school.

    I think that Krakauer should stick to writing articles and stay away from books...terrible writer in my opinion. Thought the movie was way better than the book. When I read Into the Wild it felt like I was reading some court case files, not very descriptive or imaginative...just informative. I know some of you love his writing and I respect that so please don't bash me here :) but he just doesn't do it for me. Movie was amazing though!
