    Return To The Wild

    The documentary Return to the Wild debates the two very different argued reasons of why Chris McCandless went into the wild. The writers choose to uncover the dark secrets of the McCandless family and to reveal the truth as to why Chris travelled into the Alaskan wilderness. The documentary adopts an intense tone in the beginning that shifts to a more light hearted attitude throughout the second half of the film using symbolism, cinematography, audio, and various interviews in order to explain to the viewers the grim childhood McCandless experienced and events that led him into the barren wilderness of Alaska.…

    Into The Wild

    The book “Into The Wild” tells the story of Chris McCandless and his journey and interactions with various people. Jon Krakauer the author wrote this book to show people what really happened so they could decide their own opinion of Chris McCandless and his story, instead of judging him on what the media said or critics or whoever. I personally think Chris was a nice smart person but didn’t make good decisions. One example of his bad decisions and the most prevalent one was is his decision to go live off the land with little or no supplies, Chris only brought the clothes on his back and other limited supplies such as cheap boots and a light coat. Another example is his refusal to accept help from people, had he actually took most of the things people offered him he would most likely survived and made it out in one piece living off the land. Those were just a few examples of his stubbornness and bad choices.…

    Into The Wild Theme Essay

    Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer is the story of Christopher McCandless, a determined young man who chose to embark on an “Alaskan Odyssey” in order to live in nature on his own terms. Into the Wild conveys the nature of the relationship between self and society by examining McCandless’s reflections on self, society, and nature. In connection with these themes, “Survivor Type” by Stephen King and “Nature” by Ralph Waldo Emerson add relevant analysis of the complex relationship between one’s natural self and society. These works all present similar themes: that one’s actions and character change drastically in nature, and there is a distinct difference between one’s natural self and the self that one presents in society.…
