Wanderlust
I can relate to Cole Rudolph when he wrote about riding on the wind in "Wanderlust". After having just finished "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" in our AP class, the ideals of wandering around and exploring the world haven't left my mind. As Cole wrote, "Wouldn't it be cool to just start walking and... not stop? See where the wind takes you and get away from it all? Take a couple of days, bring a friend or two, or even just go alone?... The day I stop observing, exploring, questioning, thinking - that's the day I will die." These are words to live by, and it fits in with what we've been studying, the feelings of autonomy and the real meaning of "wanderlust" in literature. I thoroughly agree with what Cole was writing, as in order to fully enjoy life, you must take opprotunities and see the world for everything it has. Thank you, Cole Rudolph, for making the need to travel and explore clear as one of life's necessities.
