Prompt: In Chapter 5 of Into the Wild, McCandless is strongly influenced by writers like Jack London, whose stories shape the way he thinks about adventure and wilderness. Has a book, song, musician, or artist ever influenced the way you think about life, goals, or the world around you? Identify the specific book, song, musician, or artist and explain how their ideas or message affected your thinking.

 Prompt: The song "Still Beating" by Mac Demarco is a song that deeply influences me. It was a time in my life were I was naive and in love with someone I didn't even remotely have a chance with. It's a song about love and having a conflict in relationship but still loving one another it 's melancholic and deeply nostalgic for me though mind you this was less than a year ago. I think it honestly made me more delusional and hopeless for this girl which when it eventually failed, it hurt even more.

Summary: We worked reading chapter 5 and an assignment that corresponds to it. 

Reflection: I enjoyed reading the latest chapter and I am anticipating the next one.
