prepared for nothing‚ he felt that he was above nature and it could not affect him. Chris McCandless in Jon Krakauer’s “Into The Wild” went into the wild unprepared for the conditions he was about to face. As a person who read the writings of Jack London‚ his death seems somewhat ironic. “To Build a Fire” by Jack London brings out the irony even more‚ we see how London wrote and how it relates to how Chris died. Chris McCandless is a person who did not believe in rules of society. He believed that
