did he get what he deserved??


Timothy Treadwell was a man of great courage, however too much courage can be a bad thing. The man used every bit of strength he had to contribute to a matter that he thought was important, which I think is very strong of him. After watching the documentary, seeing Treadwell laugh into the camera, cry into the camera, and yell into the camera, the point came across to me that the man was passionate about his work.
One thing i thought was interesting was during class when i believe it was Mr. Bolos that said, some people say that we frown upon a life that is spent taking no risks and "playing it safe" even if the man lives till he is 100, yet is unhappy with his life. Whereas you have someone like Treadwell on the other hand where he could have possibly taken too many risks, and ended up in a bad situation. I believe that Timothy did what made him happy and repeated numerous times in the documentary that the only way he would die is out there with the bears. I believe that Timothy got what he wanted in the end, and his death brought attention to the cause, which is what he wanted to do in the first place.
