SEINFELD

I have chosen to write my research paper on how Seinfeld has made a connection to American culture in a way that relates the ideas in the show to everyday people's lives. Seinfeld is different from other shows because there's never really a point trying to get across... it's the show about "nothing." Other shows always try to represent a certain kind of life lesson, but Seinfeld just portrays normal activities that happen in a lot of people's lives. The main idea I will be trying to represent in my research paper will be how relationships were looked at in Seinfeld and how the differences between men and women in certain situations are viewed. Then I will compare to how much the same it is in modern day America compared to over 10 years ago.

Bringing attention to the reader

I think it was a good idea to incorporate Krakauer's personal story because it gives another example of what Chris' story is trying to represent. His story allows me to understand why McCandless did what he did more clearly. My opinion that Chris was a brave young man that believed in what he thought was right became stronger after Krakauer shared what his reasons were. Krakauer and McCandless had a lot in common in the way they thought about life and what they felt they needed to do to be happy. The only difference is that Krakauer survived and Chris met an unfortunate death.
