I think that Gallien didn't call the cops to help Chris, because it wan't his responsibility to. Although Gallien knew that Chris wasn't fully prepared to venture out into the wilderness, he knew that this was what Chris had planned, so he didn't want to ruin it. Had Gallien known Chris a little better, or had it been one of his friends, I think that he might have tried to get him help. But if I just met somebody who was about to do something like this, I wouldn't want to stop them from doing what they have set out to do. As it seemed like Chris had a decent plan as to what he was going to do. Had their roles been reversed, Gallien wouldn't have wanted Chris to say anything to the authorities, that could possibly end his journey. Most people try to stay out of other people's business, for reasons like this. Also, Gallien probably figured that if things became too rough for him, that he would just turn around and come out. However, had I been in Gallien's position, I would feel really bad knowing that I could have possibly done something to save his life.

Hello everyone. I'm Sean Olson, from Lacey, Washington. I was born in Wisconsin and moved out here when I was ten and have lived in Lacey since then. I went to Timberline High School. I like to write, most of the time, but at the same time find it very boring and repetitive. I feel that I am at least a decent writer, and have a lot to improve on. English was usually one of my favorite courses to take during high school, but it was also because I had awesome teachers. I am hoping that this class will help make me a more effective writer. As a whole, I have never been a big fan of school. I usually just sit in class waiting for the bell to ring so that I can go back home. But now I have realized that I am paying for this and that it will help me out later on down the road. So I need to step up my game and do better than last semester. Aside from school, I am a big sports fan and rep my teams from back in Wisconsin. I feel that this picture represents me through my love of sports.
