Jack London had been an American novelist and is known for works such as The Call of the Wild, which McCandless greatly admired. Chris McCandless had greatly admired Jack London, going as far as carving “Jack London is King” at what came to be the site of his death. The Jack London quote used in the epigraph describes a scene in the forest but uses bitter imagery- yet somehow still romanticises it. “Alex” was unable to ever see past the facade London had built- given that London had hardly ever spent time in the wild himself and most definitely nowhere near as intense as Alaska. This chapter had described how he had been found and this quote leads back to that because though Chris was intelligent, he did not understand that London had to make nature sound beautiful.

man and man vs. nature. From before the start of this story, Ulrich and Georg are sworn enemies sought to cause the demise of the other, and there is an evident conflict between them. But, the story is set in a dark forest, during a storm, and this would be an example of a man vs. nature conflict.

They are unable to move, and both must wait for their own men to arrive and rescue him.

Chris’ views on materialism led to him soon leaving his family going out into the wild unprepared. He 's lost all hope and wants to be alone away from his parents, who changed the definition of truth for him. Along with being obsessed with McCandless, Krakauer included his story of the time he spent at the Devil’s Thumb. He traveled around the country searching for as much evidence and information he could gather about the life of Chris McCandless. A very big part of why the author decided to write this novel is because of how he could relate to Chris McCandless with personal stories of his own.

He talks about Rossellini, Waterman, Mccunn, and Ruess. My favorite story was McCunn’s. I didn’t see much in common between the two of them but it shows the true danger of the arctic conditions, and what happens when you don’t respect it. Just like McCandles. McCunn was careless he didn’t remember to get a way out of the arctic for winter time, he died painfully.

In addition to his progressive nature, Keating did not have an issue defying against authority figures; when he felt he wasn’t able to be his true self, he said what he believed and didn’t let anybody halt or sway him. Lastly, Keating treasured nature and being in the outdoors. Because of his numerous open-minded qualities, it is apparent that Professor Keating, or “Captain” as his students chose to call him, was a tremendously transcendental character. Open mindedness is a monumentally influential element of modern society. Free-thinking is when a person doesn’t let someone

McCandless loves the wild and wanted to express it in a way that it would stick. He never talks bad about nature, he looks at the most important aspects. He cares more about the feeling than the actual picture. Alaska gave him an sensational outlook on the whole world.

Into the Wild was written by Jon Krakauer and is a biography. Into the Wild is about a man named Chris Mccandless who separates himself from his family, friends, and all civilization. After college Chris Mccandless separates himself from his family and he goes into the alaskan wilderness to live alone. Chris Mccandless denies a car that his parents offered him and before he went into the wilderness he burned all of his cash in his wallet before he went into the wilderness. Chris Mccandless separates himself from his family, he doesn’t accept any gifts, and he has a conflict with everything around him.

A major difference that exists between Into the Wild and the documentary, “Return to the Wild”, is that in the documentary the childhood abuse is uncovered and told to the world which was left out in the book. These details were left out of the book because Carine had asked Krakauer not to include them. After learning about McCandless’s childhood, it definitely lets people understand him better because you now know his inspiration for leaving home and how it affected his actions as he grew up. Also, more of the family’s perspective was included, this made a difference because we know what they are feeling and their view of what happened to Chris. After learning about these differences, Chris seems to be more relatable and now I know that he

Into The Wild is written in both the 1st person, when the author is giving his own opinion or giving credibility, and in the 3rd person, when the author or anyone being quoted is talking about Chris McCandless. The effect Krakauer achieves is the notion of how isolated individuals exist in a state of wilderness and establishing his credibility. Krakauer personally connects with McCandless and explores every aspect of his life to discover the real truth of his death, and is convinced he did not die from starvation. He becomes emotionally attached to Chris and even develops a strong relationship with his parents. As a result, this effect leads to his writing being slightly biased.
