-- Subgenre: Memoir- this is the most prominent theme because the episode is a documentary about Mallmann’s life. He tells the audience his personal experiences and how they shaped him into the man he is today. -- Primary Purpose: To Entertain- This episode more than meets this purpose. The best example of this is at the end of the documentary when Mallmann was standing at the edge of the fire alone with his back to the camera staring into the mountain side. This was symbolic of his nomadic lifestyle.

I enjoyed reading this thoughtful and insightful post. I appreciate how you provide the genre and sub genre. I am intrigued by your discussion about how Mallmann's actions do not illustrate a capacity for longing. I agree with your assessment of his choices. Do you think, however, on some level he does long to recreate moments/homes from his past? Does he have any regrets for his lifestyle choices?
