Timothy Treadwell

The Grizzly man also known as Timothy Treadwell thought he could be one with nature by going to Alaska and living with bears for 13 years. Some would consider him a transcendentalist like the writers Emmerson and Thoreau. Some would argue he is just a nut case playing with bears just like Thoreau was a loser who played in Emmerson’s back yard only to move back with his parents. Thoreau was so into nature he only lived about 2 miles from town. Some would consider Treadwell and Thoreau very similar. Herzog in his film about Timothy expressed a lot of beauty in nature; but he also couldn’t stress enough that Treadwell’s decision of stupidity was dangerous, and irresponsible. In my opinion I would…

to seek out reason, and get back to their roots to see true nature. Timothy Treadwell was one of many who attempted to go back to the wilds, but one who captured the concept of Transcendentalism beautifully. Treadwell connected with his bears on a spiritual…

Timothy Treadwell’s understanding of human relations to animals (specifically to bears) is that they are his soul mates and his salvation. Timothy has dedicated his life to protecting and studying the bears in the Alaskan land. The bears, he says, are inspirational, gave him a life, and they helped him become a better person (i.e. help him give up drinking). Timothy exclaims several times that he will die for the animals. Timothy behaves like the bears and lives in their territory. Perhaps,…

The concept of Living Like Weasels promotes the unconscious thinking Treadwell experienced, and to reverse the normality that humans must think before they act. Beholding a Weasel’s careless senses has been lost within human culture because we are constantly thinking about what occurs in the past, present, and future rather than using a Weasel’s “plug into that pulse” mindset. For example, when Timothy Treadwell reciprocated direct eye contact with a Grizzly bear (more specifically, Mr.…

only one to do such an out of the ordinary thing. Timothy Treadwell, "the bear expert", gave up on civilization and went to the comfort of the wild. Both Mccandless and Treadwell were successful in being unsuccessful. With many obstacles, lessons learned, and opinions of others, both young men led a life of pure adventure. Timothy Dexter (April 29, 1957-October 3,2002) had a passion for film-making and aspired to be a movie director. After his aspirations being crushed by not getting the part…

After a five-year hiatus, Grizzly Bear’s dense masterpiece Painted Ruins (RCA Records) proves Grizzly Bear still has it. On Painted Ruins, it is easy to note the band’s connectedness in both the instrumentation, and vocals. This is largely connected to the fact the band collaborated on demos together before stepping foot into the studio; something that did not occur during the creative process of the band’s 2012 release, Shields. The album was produced by Bassist Chris Taylor, who…

Timothy Treadwell Wasn’t a Hero He Was a Preventable Tragedy Grizzly Bears are ferocious, furry creatures that may appear to be soft and cuddly but come armed with sharp claws, and huge teeth. The males can weigh up to 600 pounds and the females can weigh up to 440 pounds. Every year in North America alone there are at least three fatalities of humans who are mauled by bears. According to Boy Scouts of America the best advice to prevent attacks from Grizzly Bears is to avoid them all…

The story The Bear That Wasn’t, covers the concept and idea of people never changing due to outside influence. When the bear awoke from hibernation and found himself in the middle of a factory, he was an outsider to the factory workers. Because the factory workers had never seen a bear at the factory and the only bears they had ever seen were either in the circus or at the zoo, they made an assumption that it couldn’t be a bear. Instead, they insisted that the ‘bear’ was actually a silly man…

calamity and learning experiences. We all live in a world where happiness is hard to find. For each of us happiness is something different. To define happiness is harder than to be happy. Because happiness is an emotion, a way of thinking, feelings and life itself. It tends not to be something we can understand, have a recipe and just make it. Happiness must be discovered by ourselves. In the documentary Grizzly Man directed by Werner Herzog and the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer they…
