-The significance of "The wilderness" does not just necessarily mean the wild; it can symbolize life in general. The wilderness is a place entirely different from where we as people would normally live and interact with others.It's a place not anyone would normally go and Scott Carrier is classifying the goals in life as the wilderness. Carrier states "The wilderness is unfolding in front of us" (4) as a metaphor to illustrate that there are many new discoveries and obstacles in the future to overcome. Carrier states this quote at the end of his journey with his brother not only to show readers that he and his brother had many more adventures to experience, but to also demonstrate that there are many opportunities to discover; one just has to go out there and take it.
