In this extended essay, I want to explore the tensions between accuracy and meaning in literary non-fiction. I have chosen to analyze this matter in Jon Krakauer’s “Into the Wild” published in 1996. The story is about the death of Christopher Johnson McCandless who died in search of meaning in the Alaskan Wilderness. The author combines fictional style to report on the story of McCandless’ life and death based on journalistic research and facts. I would like to compare and contrast the interaction and effects of different text types occurring in the book such as personal diary entries by McCandless, poetry and literary quotes, and official reports written by newspaper agencies.

The use of Cadavers in my view, and from my experience of working and studying in the dissection lab of the National University of Ireland, Galway is one of the best ways human anatomy can both be taught and learnt and I believe is an essential aspect of the study of educational anatomy and should be utilised in the learning of anatomy where possible. The active, hands-on exploration that cadaveric dissections provide, joined with excellent teaching methods makes for an interesting yet challenging method of learning anatomy. My first time entering a dissection room, I felt a sense of captivation and was very much in awe. This fascination stemmed from the fact that I, along with twenty-something other anatomy students would be delving scalpel first into a human corpse, and experiencing the gross anatomy of the human body first hand.
