If I wasn't Christopher McCandless, I would not accept the request for being adopted by him. I would have the mindset that I finaly got away from my parents and live free and happy, why would I find a different "parent" who would a title over me? I think I would just be nervous and feel almost "trapped" again. I don't think Chris wanted to because he would feel like he would be starting all over again and had a feel of "escaping" another person who had a title over his life. If he did accept the request, I feel like he would still go to Alaska because that was his desire and passion to go to Alaska, so why would an adoted parent stop him?

I was inspired a lot actually, last year was the first year I followed the election and did my research of which president I wanted, not only because I was legal to vote finally, not only because I actually started to understand that I did not want anything like Bush again, but because this year was a good chance of making history; which that it did. I used to not care one bit about politics and never really understood why politics was such a touchy subject to talk about. Over the years I have gained a whole new respect for politics and even though I don't agree with a lot of the things the say, do or say there going to do, I still have respect. I started to have heated conversations of my own, agruing about my side of the argument especially subjects that were more familiar to me such as, abortion, and women's rights, but also things like taxes and health care. I like politics now and I'm glad I finally got involved!
