At the end of Chapter 3, Krakauer says, “Driving out west of Atlanta, [Chris McCandless] intended to invent an utterly new life for himself... He was now Alexander Supertramp, master of his own destiny” (Krakauer 23). These assertions are believable as McCandless cut off his past by creating a new identity for himself and ceasing communication with his family. McCandless introduced himself as Alex to all of the people he met on his odyssey and he rarely spoke about his past before hitchhiking. McCandless introduced himself as “Just Alex” (Krakauer 4) to Gallien and as Alex when he worked for Wayne Westerberg in Carthage, South Dakota.

In the book “An Ordinary man: An Autobiography” by Paul Rusesabagina, the author faces many bad problems and experiences distasteful moments throughout the whole novel. The author uses quotes the explain the significance of the 1994 Genocide in his own eyes.

So in order to meet these larger demands for crops bio-engineer’s made crops that can withstand colder environments and crops that can withstand many other things such as parasites or insects that eat the crops such as caterpillars and tomato plants. Bio-engineers altered the plant’s D.N.A. and made the plant’s stem and leaves much stronger than a caterpillar can chew through. Another of many reasons we alter their genes is to improve how long the vegetable will last when not on a stem so take watermelon
