The Comparing guides are divided into four sections: : Knowing: Tracks 2: Knowing: Into the Wild 3: Comparing: Tracks and Into the Wild 4: Writing the essay. Knowing the texts These sections provide a deep insight into the texts, covering context and author, structural elements, textual elements and ideas, issues and themes. At the end of each section is a set of learning activities. Comparing texts This section outlines how to compare and contrast the two texts. The two texts are compared and contrasted in regards to: themes, cultural context and genre. This section also provides practical tips and ideas on how to compare texts as well as practice topics. AUTHOR: JOHN KRAKAUER Into the Wild is based on a non-fiction book by the journalist Jon Krakauer, which was published in 996. Krakauer is particularly interested in how Chris McCandless died, and has published five different theories. Krakaeur s interest in McCandless s death stems from his desire to prove that McCandless wasn t just a naive runaway. He reveres him as an adventurous young man, who acted upon a youthful rite-of-passage. Map of Chris McCandless s journey Writer s toolbox A rite-of-passage refers to a significant event in a person s life, where they transition from one stage of life, into another. STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS Genre The genre of the film is biographical drama. Into the Wild begins with Chris McCandless leaving Annandale, Virginia. As he takes on the frontier in Alaska, the film takes on the style of an adventure story. Because it follows Chris s life story, it is biographical. However, it is told through Sean Penn s lens, which is based on Jon Krakaeur s interpretation of Chris McCandless s writings, and interviews with those who knew him. Although the audience of Into the Wild knows Chris dies, the drama is heightened as we see his deterioration and anticipate his death. Chronology The film does not follow a conventional chronology. It flashes forward to Alaska, to Chris s death, before taking us back, to show the journey leading up to that moment. The narrative flashes back even further to grainy images of Chris s early years. By doing this, Penn explores Chris s psychological rationale for leaving as he did. The sequencing affords greater suspense and drama, because the film takes a long time to reach what Into the Wild (2007) we know will happen. 6 PEARSON english VCE Comparing Guide Knowing: Into the Wild 7 Comparing: Tracks and Into the Wild There are different kinds of comparative questions and different ways to approach them. This section will help you develop an understanding of how to use a range of strategies when planning your essays about Tracks and Into the Wild. These strategies, or graphic organisers, such as Venn diagrams, scales and data charts are especially useful tools in assisting you to explore the similarities and differences between the texts. TYPES OF QUESTIONS There are three types of questions: the themes, issues and ideas the social, historical and cultural context the genre and style. Common words used in essay questions include the following. Discuss: Debate the arguments for and against the topic backing up these ideas with selected evidence from the text. Provide a conclusion. To what extent: Assess the evidence in your text that would support an argument. Also look at alternative explanations. Do you agree?: An opinion is being sought as to the extent to which the statement or quote is accurate. Evidence will be provided to support or contend the point of view. Quotations: Essay questions that use quotations are a way to delve into the issues embedded in a text. You should make reference to the quote and the ideas that it raises. Theme questions Themes are prominent, recurring ideas that pervade a literary work. Both Tracks and Into the Wild explore themes related to: the journey of self-discovery landscape unreliability of representation stereotypes of women and men in nature. You can also explore concepts within themes, as shown in the following table.

You might be asked to explore the aspects of society the authors, or characters see as important (views) and their judgements on those views (values). Robyn Davidson is a woman in the 970s trekking across the Australian desert, and Chris McCandless is a man in the 990s in the Alaskan wilderness, however, there are commonalities between the worlds they leave and the worlds they enter. Genre questions Genre questions could ask you to think about the conventions of the genre and consider how and why the authors conveyed their ideas in certain ways. Despite the different genres of these texts, we need to consider the features they share, and differences in their representations of setting, narrative perspective and other textual elements. THE COMPARISON How to compare The following section shows you a number of ways to compare the two texts. A variety of methods have been used, such as tables that allow you to chart and track data and graphic organisers that let you see quickly the links and variations. In a comparison essay, you must critically analyse any two texts pointing out their similarities and/or differences. It could also be called a compare and contrast essay. Your task could be comparative only (looking only at similarities), contrasting only (pointing out the differences) or both comparative and contrasting. 30 PEARSON english VCE Comparing Guide Comparing: Tracks and Into the Wild 3 iv PEARSON english VCE Comparing Guide
3 Writing the essay This section provides a step-by-step guide on how students can plan and write a comparing essay. Four different essay styles have been included as well as an essay sample with annotations. Before you start BRAINSTORMING THE TOPIC Begin by brainstorming the topic. Consider any subquestions that are raised by the topic, and think about what evidence you have from each text to support these ideas.

Robyn s solo experiences include: going from Alice Springs to Utopia from Areyonga to four days out of Docker after Mr Eddie leaves her. Writer s toolbox When you brainstorm you should ask questions about the topic. A good way to do this is to make sure you answer or include the Who? What? Where? Why? When?

4 Knowing: Tracks ROBYN DAVIDSON Tracks is Robyn Davidson s 980 memoir about her solo trek across Australia. The perilous journey took place in 977. Davidson offers readers the context for her text in the postscript, written thirty years after the events that are described. She claims that to understand her text is to understand its context in Australia in the 970s. CONTEXT AND AUTHOR Society and politics Australia in the 970s was in a dynamic era of growth and political awareness. It was the period in which feminism made tangible progress when the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission ruled that a woman doing the same job as a man should be paid the same wage. Women also won the right to paid maternity leave. It was a period of emerging social sensitivity. In 970, Neville Bonner was the first Indigenous Australian elected to the Australian Parliament. In 972, the Aboriginal Tent Embassy was erected on the grounds of what is now known as Old Parliament House, and the White Australia policy, adopted in 90, was formally retracted. The Whitlam Government introduced the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 976 into Parliament, under which traditional affiliation and traditional landowners were given land rights. Author: Robyn Davidson Robyn Davidson was born in Western Queensland Robyn Davidson wrote Tracks and lived at Stanley Park, an isolated cattle while living in London. Davidson was living with Doris Lessing, station, with her parents and sister. Her father a winner of Nobel Prize in travelled through Africa and told her stories of his Literature. Doris Lessing can be adventures. Davidson s mother committed suicide regarded as a feminist and postmodern writer. at 46. After this, Davidson was sent to live with her aunt, and was then sent to boarding school. Davidson believes she had a difficult childhood, and felt she didn t have an identity for a great part of her early life. In an interview for ABC Radio, on the Talking Heads program, Davidson said: During all that time since I d left school, I d virtually not seen my dad. I wrote to him and I said, I need you to come and get me. And he did [ ] we decided to go out bush, looking for opals. It was just the most wonderful time with him. In 73, I decided that I wanted to go to the Australian desert. So I thought I d go to Alice Springs and I ll find myself some feral camels and I ll use them to go through the desert. She did this, and that is where Tracks begins. 2 PEARSON english VCE Comparing Guide Writer s toolbox The White Australia policy refers to a collection of government policies which only permitted immigrants to come to Australia from the United Kingdom, Ireland and a small number of European countries.

5 STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS Genre This is a memoir and a travel narrative. Robyn Davidson narrates her 2700km journey from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean on the west coast of Australia. It was written two years after she completed the journey. She is in a flat in London when she writes Tracks, so there is geographic space and considerable time between her setting forth in the Northern Territory of Australia, and writing the text. The book follows a direct, first person, past-tense linear narrative that focuses on the trip itself. It is not a text that ranges much beyond the experience itself, except in a few places, for example, when Robyn talks of her family s past and how that lends particular significance to her travels.

Five months from Alice, they arrive in Warburton, Rick arrives and Eddie leaves with Glendle. Robyn leaves Warburton in July, travelling along the Gunbarrel Highway alone. She develops the metaphor of the net to explain the connectedness of everything, including herself. She determines that the self is a reaction between mind and stimulus. Knowing: Tracks 5
7 Knowing: Into the Wild SEAN PENN Into the Wild is a 2007 film. It is based on a non-fiction book of the same name, about the death of Christopher McCandless. At 22, after graduating from university, McCandless abandons his family, and his wealthy upbringing to travel north into the Alaskan wilderness. He carries very little: only 5 kg of rice, a.22 calibre rifle, and a backpack of his favourite books. When he finds a deserted school bus, it becomes his home for 3 days. He suffers from starvation and eventually dies, and his body is found nineteen days later. CONTEXT AND DIRECTOR The United States in the 980s to early 990s Into the Wild opens in 992, when Chris McCandless arrives in the Alaskan wilderness. The film moves between 992 and 990, when Chris began his journey. Although the film s timeline is the early 990s, Chris McCandless s formative years were the 980s. This was a decade characterised by consumerism and extravagance. Under President Ronald Regan, the United States economy was revamped and consumerism and materialism increased. The term shop till you drop became popular, and this attitude of spending was popularised in programs such as Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Globally, the 980s was also the time of the Ethiopian famine, the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown and the rise of AIDS. In 990, when McCandless began his journey, the United States President was George HW Bush, who had been Regan s Vice President. The excesses and impacts of the 980s were still ever present. Director: Sean Penn Sean Penn is an American actor, director and has also been described as a political activist. Penn has received numerous acting and directing honours during his career, including two Academy Awards for best actor. Born in Los Angeles, California in 960, he began his acting career as a child on the series Little House on the Prairie in an episode directed by his father, also an actor and director. Penn has specialised in playing dramatic roles in films with a social message such as Dead Man Walking and Milk. Penn began his directing career in 99, with the film The Indian Runner. Into the Wild is Penn s fourth feature film. Penn is also well known for his political and social causes. He wrote an open letter in the Washington Post critical of then-president George Bush s war on terror, and after Hurricane Katrina, he travelled to New Orleans to assist with the rescue effort. Sean Penn directed and wrote the script for Into the Wild in 996, after reading Jon Krakauer s book of the same name and acquiring film rights. In the documentary, The Making of Into the Wild, Penn claims that he wrote the film adaptation without re reading Krakaeur s text. He says that the images were leaping out from the pages and speaks of a close connection between Krakaeur s version of Chris McCandless journey, and his own version. Knowing: Into the Wild 5

Your task could be comparative only (looking only at similarities), contrasting only (pointing out the differences) or both comparative and contrasting. Comparing: Tracks and Into the Wild 3
12 Theme THE JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY At the core of both of these texts is a protagonist on a journey. Over the course of the texts, each protagonist develops a new understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Both protagonists are young, and reject the concept of adhering to a predetermined notion of who they should be and how they should behave. Starting points Both texts identify that the journey of self-discovery is a conscious process. Each journey has a distinct starting point, spurred by a discontentment. Robyn embarks on her trip because she is not content with the expectations society has on women. She rebels against the concept that women should find security and contentment in the usual institutions of marriage and motherhood common in this time period. Chris sees his father as an example of what he is expected to become. This sets off his desire to leave it all for the great wilderness of Alaska. Preparing for the journey Both Davidson and Penn focus on the preparations the protagonists make before setting out on the actual journey. Robyn spends two years in Alice Springs trying to learn the skills she needs for her journey. In doing so, she learns about herself and her world, which informs the eventual journey itself. Chris spends two years travelling around the United States, in preparation for his final journey. In doing so he learns about himself and his capabilities, this informs the eventual journey itself. Going solo Both protagonists believe that the true journey of self-discovery cannot be done in the company of others, and that true transformation begins when we are alone. Robyn spends some of her time with others as she moves across the desert, but it is only when she sets out alone that the true connection with the landscape occurs. The net appears, and she loses herself into it. From the moment Gallien drops Chris off at the beginning of the Stampede Trail, Chris s transformation begins in the quiet of the Alaskan wilderness. Comparing texts on the theme of the journey of self-discovery LANDSCAPE Although the landscape is vastly different in each text, the impact of the journey on the protagonists is immense. Both Robyn and Chris, despite their fears seek freedom, and ultimately learn about the importance of landscape. 32 PEARSON english VCE Comparing Guide
