Character Analysis: Into The Wild, By Jon Krakauer

Living life deliberately some people might say it’s not wasting time just trying to be the cool person, but to make a difference in our own life or others that would benefit the world. The book that my classmates and I read is called Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer about Christopher Johnson McCandless, who travels around after he graduates from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

'He'd keep it to himself, harboring his resentment, letting the bad feelings build and build.'"(#123) McCandless isn't rejecting his parents social status of middle-class American way of living, but for how they live like there is nothing
