Video narrated by Jeff Johnson

      Watching the video narrated by Jeff Johnson got me thinking on how people go about finding themselves. Jeff Johnson and his friends have the same love for climbing some of the them its a hobby but for some its just to explore how it feels to be a climber. The narrator not only have a love for climbing but he also likes surfing. Its all about finding the things that he likes doing in life and as mentioned in class seeking happiness i would say this relates to the video. A group of friends doing what they love to do and what makes them happy. Aside from the narrator and his friends climbing, surfing and going on a journey for months, the imagery that strucks me the most was their stop in Rapa Nui for help. A storm on sea broke the sail of their ship but they kept going until they found an island called Rapa Nui. Jeff Johnson tells his audience that staying in Rapa Nui and discovering that island made him wants to stay there. The hospitality and warm welcomes that made them feel like part of the island.
     It was said in the video that if you love a place, you have a duty to protect. This is very true in so many levels. There stay in Rapa Nui was fantastic they were not short on things to survive. Their new friend Makohey showed them around and made them feel more at home. The Rapa Nui people even help them restore the damage on their ship and give them enough food for the continuous journey. The Rapa Nui showed them that money are not the only means for survival. Land and sea offers much more to survive in terms of food to eat and water to drink. Rapa Nui depends more on the land and sea for survival rather than money that comes from work. On the other hand, their stop in Rapa Nui was another way for Johnson and his friends to reconnect with nature and look at the world from another point of view. Instead of climbing huge mountains and surfing on surfboard there is more to life than that. As they stayed their, Jeff wanted to stay there but they had a journey to finish so they continue on. The video was easy to relate to because it gives the viewer so many reasons to strive for what they want, find happiness within their everyday routine, find themselves relating to nature and that every journey has a happy ending. I really enjoyed watching it in class.
