Why I chose this reading ….is because it seemed relatable. It seemed like an interesting book‚ one that I could relate to myself‚ I think that all teenagers could relate to this.

Jon Krakauer’s work of nonfiction‚ Into the Wild‚ the author begins each chapter with an epigraph.

His main purpose in incorporating these epigraphs was to draw inferences about the person that Christopher

Into the Wild Chris McCandless was a young man who lived a strange‚ adventurous life. I disagree with Krakauer‚ McCandless seems to be a crazy person. Chris’s craziness is clearly shown throughout the book. He managed to survive one-hundred and thirteen days in the wild‚ but in the end he did die. Chris McCandless went into the wild to escape corrupt society. He also did it because he fell in love with nature through his readings of books by authors such as Charles Dickens and Jack
