Blog #30: More Nature Writing!

Even though my project for Media Saves the Beach and the book Into the Wild were nothing alike as in nature wise I think that they are still similar in how we got our information. In Into the Wild, the author Jon Krakauer is telling the story of a Chris McCandless and the life he lived, obviously he couldn't have gotten all of that information from Chris himself because Chris had died. So in order for Krakauer to tell Chris' story he had secondary sources or interviews with people who knew him and were either close to him or knew about him. Although most of the information or pictures/images for our MSB projects were primary sources the interviews that we did with other people and organizations were secondary sources. So even though our topics were not alike, the techniques we did to complete a final product were very similar.
