Wild by Cheryl Strayed

Id

The unconscious mind

Cheryl did not realize who she was hurting until the beginning her hike

Cheryl has always struggled with her past, however it came apparent when her decisions in life started to grow in the category of stupidity

Sex life

Freud claims we need pleasure in our lives

Flirtatious

Sexually active

With ex-husband

With multiple men

Not with reality as she had a husband

Selfish

Impulsiveness

Hitchhiking with strangers

Puts herself in dangerous situations

Poor decisions

Impulsive decision to begin the hike with no previous experience

Shows Cheryl is ambitious enter and up for the challenge

"Strength and growth come only though continuous effort and struggles" -Napolean Hill

Ego

Realistic aspect

Problem solving

The water pipe wasn't connected, therefore she filtered dirty water by adding iodine pills

Relation to the show "Survivorman" when he boils his pee for hydration as he did not have water

Both individuals had to use survivor skills

Cheryl lost one of her boots and created new shoes out of duct tape

Past Cheryl would have given up and discontinue the hike, however Cheryl's determination pushed her to be original to finish the hike

Shows her creativity and her fast thinking

Fast thinking relates to shows such as Jeopardy, The Amazing Race, Chopped

Embarrassment as shoes made her look inexperienced and homeless

Example: while hitchhiking she was stopped by a reporter who tried to interview Cheryl for being a homeless female

Needs

The hike

Unrealistic decision

Showed personal character development

Shows initiative to move past her problems

Quote: "I’m a free spirit who never had the balls to be free.” -Cheryl Strayed

Cheryl realized she needed help after she got pregnant and had to get an abortion

Realization her life was out of control

It requires strength to acknowledge one has a problem

"As I saw myself then in front of that tarnished mirror what came was the women with the hole in her heart. That was me." -Cheryl (Stryaed 38)

She thought her problems were too difficult for a therapist which led to the hike

Cheryl became helpful along her hike as she helped people who did not have water, inspired multiple individuals walking the PCT, shared her past experiences with others (especially near the end of the story)

Even though her mom has passed away, she made her proud

Becomes happier

Quit her bad habits

In honor of her mom

Cheryl believed her mom would not approve of her life choices, she wanted to make her mother proud

Bobbi and Cheryl had a very strong bond, Cheryl is constantly looking to replace her mother figure by adding other people in her

To reflect on past choices

Change her life around

Pregnancy/abortion

Depression

Superego

Has to control the id's impulsiness

The hike was one of those ways Cheryl controlled her past issues

Realtes to the show/programs Intervention where people who have let their drug habits get out of hand, seek help

However, Cheryl was a sweet girl at a young age

Tried to maintain a close relationship with her brother

Got him to visit their mom in the hospital

Was caring and visited her Mom often as she was dying

Was accepting of her Mom being in high school the same time as her

Morals are created through parents at a young age according to Freund

This idea relates to the movie Forest Gump as Jenny, had an abusive father and as she grew up she became very sexually active and got AIDS/HIV

Cheryl's step dad was re-married and created children with his new wife, a year after Bobbi's death

Made his love for Cheryl's mom seem fake

Portrayed love as something useless to Cheryl

Possible reasoning for why Cheryl cheated on her husband

Although Cheryl's mom was supportive, Cheryl's Dad was not a good role model

This led to Cheryl's risky and impulsive decisions later in her life

"Mistakes are always unforgivable, if one has the courage to admit them." -Bruce Lee
