  • Station Eleven Chris Mccandless Quotes

    238 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the novel, Station Eleven, by Emily St. John Mandel, I would argue that Miranda’s character often shows similarities with the one of Christopher McCandless in Into the Wild. Along with the risks she was willing to take in order to fulfill her happiness; Miranda took rapid actions without thinking of the possible difficulties she might have to deal with and she also did not look back which is made quite obvious by her repeated quote, “I repent nothing” (89) and essentially, makes her as bold as Christopher is in his quest of freeing himself from his old lifestyle. They are also very much alike in the sense that they both created another persona for themselves that portrays who they truly are, Miranda is represented by Dr. Eleven’s journey
