Prompt: Chris and his sister Carine McCandless had a very close relationship, even when he struggled to connect with others. Write about a relationship in your life where you feel truly understood. Explain what makes that relationship strong and how it compares to the connection between Chris and Carine in Into the Wild.

 Prompt Response: Someone in my life that I always feel like I'm truly understood with is my mom. She is someone I can always go to for my concerns and is always helpful in return. It compares to the relationship of Chris and Carine because no matter what is happening around them they can always talk to each other about what they think/feel, being each others safe space.

Summary: We read a new chapter of Into the Wild and answered questions off it.

Reflection: The chapter we read was very interesting and reading about his sister's reaction was very impactful.
