What Chris McCandless was a great guy I wish I could meet but he died in Alaskan backcountry on August 18, 1992. I question why he did what he did; I question myself why am I doing what I doing? Why? I still admiring what Chris did and a lot of people do. It amazing he excelled academically although a number of teachers and fellow students observed that he ¨marched to the beat of a different drummer.¨ He was also a captain in cross-country he would urge teammates to treat running as a spiritual exercise in which they were ¨running against the force of darkness … all the evil in the world, all the hatred.
Christopher McCandless in death of an Innocent it talk about Chris´s plans a little and some people that know him. One in participle was James Gallien he's the one whom drown to the edge of Denali National Park Chris was determined. Before that he meet Wayne Westerberg at a bar. Wayne Westerberg said that Chris, “thinks too much and tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often. A time to tell him it was a mistake to

The movie began with him finish college and then going to dinner with his family. Chris's father ask him was kind of cars he want and he reply, “was wrong with [the car he has and that he didn’t want another car].” I admired this because of not giving in to new thing; in other words our need and want. Our want is stronger than your need. It help to keep in mind what are some thing that are worth the wait. I also admire how long his journey was and what he went through to get to Alaska. It a long story too and sorrowful ending.
The conclusion the many reason why I like Chris McCandless is how he keep inspiring other. He keep think about other even in the end. Chris long journey and how he didn’t give up on his dream. He also thought of the world; why people are so bad to each other. Chris McCandless will alway live
McCandless had always shown a desire to venture out past the “norms”. After graduating high school, Chris set out on a summer long trip across the country, getting lost in the “Mojave desert and had nearly succumbed to dehydration” (118). During this trip, Chris had promised to stay in touch with his parents but failed to do so, only returning “home” two days before leaving again to college- which he was forced to go to before setting out for the wild. Chris drove from Virginia and explored the Western United States, during which he lost thirty pounds. This wouldn’t be the last time Chris would be to lose an exceptional amount of weight over a short time span, in August (just four short months after leaving for Alaska), Chris
Chris took on the ultimate challenge of living life on the road. McCandless made sure he got to where he wanted to be and he didn’t let anyone stop him. What made Chris really stand out is, he wanted freedom but he would do anything for it. Chris was willing to risk everything to get to his destination. Many people could argue that he is simply just a human as well but it is clear that no other human being similar to Chris would do something like he did.
He was living the life he wanted to but he did not find happiness. I believe Chris found freedom and independence. In the Bus where Chris’s body was found, Chris wrote on sheet of weathered plywood where he wrote a his independence, “ Two years he walks the earth. No phone, No pool, No pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom.
I think Chris McCandless felt unfufilled in his life of privilege, and wanted to go out and experience life how he wanted to for awhile, and live freely. Chris may even still be alive today, had he been more prepared. Chris McCandless has always been a bit of a rebel. His spiritual awakening, has led him to quit society. He
Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world. Many would believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild to purposely kill himself; however, I myself believe that McCandless did not do it purposely.
I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t crazy for going out into the wild. He wasn’t a loner; he chose to be on his own. But Chris could easily make friends. He had the right to travel. All he was trying to do was get away from the corrupt world.
The way I look at him is that he was courageous and adventurous to just go out and follow his dream. This is why I think Chris McCandless is courageous. When Chris burned what money he had left I thought it was courageous because he was trying to get around without money and how hard it would be. By Chris burning his money and trying to brave the world without money show´s that he´s courageous because do you know how hard it is to get around without money?
"I think that Chris McCandless was bright and ignorant at the same time. He had no common sense, and he had no business going to Alaska with his Romantic silliness. He made a lot of mistakes based on ignorance. I don’t admire him at all for his courage nor his noble ideas. Really, I think he was just plain crazy."
Although it may seem as though Chris McCandless is immature or reckless, he is actually rather admirable for his ideals because they allow him to live a life he is happy with. First, McCandless
We have all made mistakes, for some they are small mistakes that do not impact anyone. For others, they are of mammoth proportions and have a preponderant impact on how people think, or say about them. In the book Into the Wild it tells about the journey of Chris McCandless who died in the Alaskan wilderness. Chris McCandless was definitely one of these people who made a big mistake. People around the globe have mixed feelings about this twentieth century adventurer.
Into The Wild was a tremendous story which Shaun Callarman did not have many positive things to say about Chris McCandless, the main character. He went on this adventure to find out what life is all about in his own eyes. He wanted to see how different living in the wild really was compared to society because he was not satisfied with his living arrangements and household. Shaun’s quote says that he thinks “Chris McCandless was bright and ignorant at the same time. He had no common sense, and he had no business going into Alaska with his Romantic silliness.
Into the Wild essay Some may believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild out of nowhere, but the real reason he left everything was because he wanted to escape all the problems he was going through, especially with his parents. Chris was a smart, educated, wealthy guy, who just graduated from college and decided to give up everything he had to experience a new journey. Why would anyone ever give up the perfect life? His parents gave him anything anyone could ever dream for, but he did not accept anything. McCandless had a couple different reasons to why he left, the main one was to start a new life.
Chris Mccandless’ character portrays himself as an interesting character with his hidden passions and disinterest in social connections. Normally a person makes social connections to be apart of something. The human brain by instinct seeks human connection, and it by nature, it demands to be social . Chris went against his own genetic code to do what he wants and to prove to himself to his parents that his opinions matter just like their own. Chris’ love for the nature way of life makes him an unusual character in the face of others.
On his trip he meets various people who care for him. Often times, these people that Chris builds relationships with, will recommend that he do something before he heads into the wild. However, Chris’ arrogance caused him to leave behind his new friends with ease in order to reach his intended goal. Chris’ dad Walt understands that Chris is a knowledgeable young man, but Chris would always refuse to listen: “Chris was good at almost everything he
Doing everything flawless with no agitation and finessing the trip to Alaska to fall short to a poisonous plant. The only thing that McCandless could have done to survive would probably be not crossing the river because that was the main complication that got him stuck. To conclude, I would agree with Shaun Callarman at the end because there was plenty of evidence on how inadequate Christopher McCandless’s decisions were and how unpredictable his situation was. There was no other way this journey could have ended for McCandless except if he just stayed home from the beginning. Overall, he was amateurish and incompetent person that could not accomplish his dream, but did inspire endless people to follow their dreams and achieve nature tranquility.
