    To me Chris McCandless was a dedicated and adventurous young man. He was very dedicated to the thing he loved. When people told him what to do he very rarely listened to them‚ so to me he was very independent. When he was put to a job he was very dedicated to it‚ it didn’t matter what it was. Like when he moved to the town where Wayne Westerberg live he was put to work and all the people he worked with agreed that he was a very hard working person. When Chris decided to go into the wilderness

I admire Chris McCandless for choosing to pursue his dream of hiking across Alaska no matter how many people thought he was crazy.

    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 he was

    “To call each thing by its right name…by its right name.” What did Chris McCandless discover once he left the “cave”? Describe how one can draw meaning from Plato’s cave myth in relation to the film. Does Chris McCandless’ life and death bear any resemblance to that of Socrates?

    Literature 25 August 2013 “Death of an Innocent” I personally think Chris McCandless did die in a senseless way. I do have sympathy for him because he wasn’t expecting to die the way he did and he didn’t die on purpose. I could understand why people in the passage thought differently of McCandless‚ but if they knew how he felt and why he did the things he did‚ I think people would understand him more. I think McCandless died in a senseless way because he didn’t have any idea that he would die
