Fate In Into The Wild

Many believe that our choices in life are already made for us and we have no control to what happens to us, although others believe that this life is like an epic journey and we can change our fate at any moment. It´s hard to choose which side you believe in my honest opinion I believe that our lives do not ¨lie in the fate of God¨ as stated by in the Iraq War Post by Faiza Al-Araji however I believe instead that our life is an odyssey, that we must travel through and make important choices by ourselves not by fate. But with many edvidence and claims in both story the question ¨How much in our lives do we actually controls?¨ wanders through our mind.

Fate has opinions however it is us who make the choices. Destiny is ultimately in our hands. In Into the Wild by Krakauei, Which is about Chris McCandless a 3.72 student has a choice of going to a good university with his grades and the money his parents have saved for him to go to a university but instead he decides to take a different path as ¨ he intended to invent an utterly new life for himself, one in which he would be free to wallow in unfiltered experience.¨ This proves

the point of the only thing in life that we truly have full power over is ourselves. McCandless does not let his parent or anyone know his plan because it is only us who hold the power to change our lives.

Although according to Iraq War Blog by Faiza Al-Araji that states ¨It all happened by the will of God, there is no strength but God, and neither strength nor possibly unless by the power of God.¨ Araji explains we have nothing in our control to change life but I think in life we dont have control to what happens to us but we do have control on how it´ll affect us as in ¨ Into the Wild by Krakauei ¨ where Mc Candless faces a sudden where a huge bore of brown water that come his way and although it messes up his engine and his car is stuck he saves his remaining objects and instead of breaking down McCandless finds this as a way to shed unnecessary baggage.

This shows that we have the power to keep on going and be optimistic instead of letting life control us and try to break us down. It is in our control to determine the outcome of our

future.

In the end both of the authors have different beliefs. Araji thinks that everything happens by the fate of god and we cannot control our life while Krakauei has the mindset that it is only us who hold the power to change our lives. However the thing that both stories have in common is no matter what happens in our lives whether you call it destiny or a coincidence we do have the choice to run away from the problems life throws at us and accept it has it is or never back down and make it your goal to change what is happening to you.
