I chose this book because it was recommended to me by a good friend of mine back in high school, but I never got around to reading it. The reason she recommended this book was because I had just lost a childhood friend in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. This book was a very interesting and really sad. The author Sharon M. Draper did a magnificent job making the reader feel as if they were there every step of the way. I believe that there were many themes in this book.

Julia Deegan July 22nd 2016 English 9 Was Chris McCandless a raving idealist, with a disjointed belief on how life was to be lived or was he a young man with a yearning for the wild, and a need to quench his thirst for adventure? Though many would argue otherwise I believe our protagonist was more the later of the two. McCandless was simply haunted by an impractical existence that would allow him to live his life to its fullest. Unlike many people and the mainstream American way of being, the feelings of security, stability, and safety never called to him. Rather, he rejected those wants with a want of his own; to go through life from adventure to adventure never knowing what was next, never having enough confidence in what was to come.
Considered the “Father of Western Philosophy”, the great Aristotle is quoted as saying “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” This is something that, a young intelligent man in the early 1990’s took to heart, as he set out on a great journey to know himself. Chris McCandless, this young man, however took a different path than most in terms of discovering himself by attempting to abandon society and live off the land in rural Alaska. Chris’s journey throughout his brief adulthood, should be celebrated due to his pursuit of self discovery, and finding the source of true happiness. However we must acknowledge his decision to go into the unforgiving wilderness ill-prepared and the way he rejected true companionship in his travels pre-Alaskan adventure should not be ignored.
Nature is a tempting escape from reality, but presents obstacles even for the best-equipped adventurers, like Robyn Davidson. It also challenges a pretentious individual, Chris McCandless (also known as Alexander Supertramp), who has a complete disregard for nature and its true power. The story Tracks tells the journey of Robyn Davidson, who partook in a nine-month journey across the deserts of Western Australia to the Indian Ocean. Unlike Chris McCandless who traveled solo, she was accompanied by her dog Diggity and four camels that she tamed herself to help carry the heavy supplies to aid her expedition. The vast isolation of the desert is exactly what attracted Davidson to it, just like the Alaskan Wilderness called to McCandless.

Explorer Motivations In the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, Christopher McCandless came from a nice suburb of Washington D.C. He excelled in school and had been an outstanding athlete.

In George Saunders’ essay from The Guardian, he states, “We often think that the empathetic function in fiction is accomplished via the writer’s relation to his characters, but it’s also accomplished via the writer’s relation to his reader” (The Guardian).
