Grizzly Man

In class on Friday after watching the Grizzly Man, we discussed whether or not Timothy Tredwell was clearly insane.  Personally, I believe that in order to interact with grizzly bears, which can be extremely dangerous, it would take a man that is very willing to risk his life.  His love for those bears really showed how anxious he was to be out in the wilderness.  

I do not think he was insane.  When one takes risks such as him it was bound to happen.  For example, a guy like Steve Irwin died during the work he loved or James Dean for racing cars.  Its seems almost fulfilling that he died the way he did.  

To me, I feel as if everyone in the documentary highly criticized him.  It seemed as if no one took anything good from his research other than to avoid grizzly bears.  I would never risk my life the way he did to bring out bear awareness.  I believe that he deserves credit for his work.
