Chapter 5 Questions 22-26

22. The place that Chris had stayed the longest was Bullhead City, Arizona. From what I read, he wrote to Wayne and from what he read, it seemed as if he had an idea of staying there for good. He liked the place and said it was a good place to stay during the winter. He had obtained a fulltime job at McDonald's and had even opened a bank account. I think he thought of this place as a potential home.

23. My reaction, is it is very weird that he obtained a fulltime job, and strayed away from his naturistic travels. Before he would only do work that was under the table and it was more labor than any cooking or serving jobs. It seems like maybe he thought about giving up. He stayed in this area for so long and he became a fulltime job owner and he also opened a savings account, intending he was saving for something.

24. At McDonalds, they have dresscode rules, they state that the employee must wear shoes AND socks. Chris hated to wear socks because he had feet problems and they always itched. When McDonald's confronted him, he started wearing socks, but the minute his shift was over he would rip them right off. This is individualism because he did not want people to think they could tell him what to do and also because he felt there was no need for himself to wear socks.

25. All of the colleagues views of him were quite interesting. One said that he was reliable in that he showed up at work everyday. Another person said that everyone there thought he was missing a couple of screws because he always talked about nature. One more person said that they didn't even know why he got hired because he worked at a slow pace and always stayed in the back. Chris didn't feel like he could be honest with his employees, and I think he was mad with them and that is why he just quit. If I worked with Chris I might think there was something a little odd about him, but I wouldn't judge, because you never know what is going on with that person's life.

26. Chris was friends with the Burres. He traveled with them to a camp ground and stayed in touch with them for a little bit. I think the reason why he got along with them is because they wanted to be alone, they moved to an abandoned campground and they liked to travel. They also did favors for eachother and were nice to one another.
