My experiment was I took a different path to my classes every period. My friends reacted to it by asking me questions like where was I or why I didn’t walk to class with them. I don’t think they got too mad because they kinda realized what I was doing because some of them have you in class and know about the project so they just figured that’s what I was doing. Honestly I felt a little lonely while doing this project because I didn’t have anyone to walk to class with or talk to in between classes. I didn’t like it at all and wouldn’t do it again if it was my choice. If I was in Chris’s position I would hate being in the wild all alone by myself, I would be so bored and wouldn’t be able to function. I would need someone to talk too and someone to entertain me while I was out there. I feel like this project compares the his situation because it makes us feel free by doing different things that maybe are out of some of our comfort zone. Chris did something that was out of his comfort zone and out of the “socially acceptable” things to do. Most people don’t just leave everything they had especially if they lived a good life like he did. With my experiment I didn’t expect anyone to get really mad all I expected was a few questions. While doing this project I don’t think it made me feel free. I didn’t really feel free I guess more lonely.
