Article "Gone."
This was a cool article. It was interesting how the guy disappeared, with the steps he took to avoid detection, like changing his basic facial features like his hair. I would find it difficult to just drop everything and attempt to disappear without anyone knowing just because of how much I interact with people. This related to Into the Wild in the sense of him just disappearing, going off without telling anyone. With Invisible Man, the narrator struggles with being invisible and wanting to change that and in this situation Evan Ratliff, wanted to become invisible, to disappear within the masses of everyday life. With Gatsby, it was the idea of changing who you used to be into who you want to be. By dropping the older ideas of yourself and recreating a new persona who can do all the things that your old one could not.
